The integrated developmental model (IDM) of supervision proposes that supervisees progress along distinct skillϪcompetency levels and suggests specific supervisory interventions at each level. Intentional and skillful application of the model can facilitate developmentally rich supervision. Accordingly, the following account represents the author's use of the IDM to analyze his own past struggle with fluctuating self-competence and autonomy during crisis intervention, as well as his supervisor's attentive response to promote professional growth and independence. For example, the author identifies that his supervisor created an environment of warmth and trust to enhance self-competence, used confrontative interventions to increase supervisee awareness of the problem, and implemented scaffolding to create a consultation plan designed to systematically increase supervisee autonomy in clinical decision-making. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding how life stressors may lead supervisees to regress along developmental levels and how supervisors may shift their interventions accordingly.

Although theory and research evidence indicate that less securely attached persons are more likely than their secure peers to experience emotion regulation difficulties, this is not necessarily a pre-ordained outcome. Emotion regulation difficulties may be more proximally predicted by individuals’ maladaptive psychological defenses such as humor styles. This study explored the interrelationships between adult attachment orientations (attachment anxiety and avoidance) and perceived bonds with parents (perceived levels of parental care and control), emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression), and maladaptive humor styles (aggressive and self-defeating humor). Attachment anxiety, avoidance, and maternal care and overprotection were associated in expected directions with aggressive and self-defeating humor, but paternal care and overprotection were not. Additionally, aggressive and self-defeating humor were positively associated with expressive suppression and negatively associated with cognitive reappraisal. Self-defeating humor partially mediated the relationship between a number of attachment predictors (attachment anxiety, avoidance, maternal care, and maternal control) and expressive suppression. For example, attachment anxiety predicted higher use of self-defeating humor, which in turn predicted higher levels of expressive suppression. Finally, aggressive humor partially mediated the relationship between avoidance and cognitive reappraisal. Avoidance predicted higher use of aggressive humor, which in turn predicted lower levels of reappraisal. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.

As a highly popular social networking site (SNS) for exchanging information about their personal activities, values, goals, and accomplishments with their online "friends," Facebook (FB) # enables social comparisons and identity negotiations that may influence college students' career planning confidence. However, to date, no studies have examined whether FB use activities and "friend" networks are uniquely associated with such confidence when dispositional variables associated with students' needs for belongingness and self-presentation are concurrently controlled. In the present study, participants provided information about their FB use activities and networks and completed self-report measures of adult attachment security, authenticity, career decision self-efficacy, and career aspirations. We hypothesized that, controlling for features of FB use, adult attachment security and authenticity would make significant and incremental contributions to our indicators of career confidence and that authenticity would mediate expected relations between attachment security and these outcomes. Our findings yielded general support for these hypotheses. Implications for career counseling practice that considers both clients' relational dispositions and uses of social media are discussed.
