BEST PRACTICES IN CLINICAL SUPERVISION: WHAT MUST SUPERVISEES DO?

ABSTRACT

Clinical supervision is critical for training competent counselors who provide ethical and professional services aimed at protecting the welfare of the populations they serve. Despite clearly outlining the roles and responsibilities of supervisors in supervision literature (Borders et al., 2014), scholars have not offered guidelines to inform supervisees with their responsibilities to make the most out of their supervision experiences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to attend to the gap in the literature by understanding what supervisees perceived as their responsibilities in clinical supervision. Such an effort may inform further studies and provide an empirical basis to establish best practices for supervisees in clinical supervision. This study was guided by an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design, Concept Mapping (Kane & Trochim, 2007) to explore what supervisees perceived as their responsibilities in clinical supervision. The results will be discussed with implications for supervisees, supervisors, and counselor education and supervision programs.
