“…Ellis et al () found that 36% of their sample ( N = 363) were currently receiving harmful supervision. Similar findings have been reported in other studies, where prevalence rates vary between 20% and 40% (Bang & Goodyear, ; Ellis, ; Ellis, Creaner, Hutman, & Timulak, ; Hendricks & Cartwright, ; Nelson & Friedlander, ; Ramos‐Sanchez et al, ). These prevalence rates are certainly a cause for concern and attention.…”

Background Harmful supervision practices have been found to be fairly common in clinic supervision. Although a number of possible factors linked to harmful supervision have been identified, the relational processes and dynamics associated with the emergence of harmful supervision events still remain largely unexplored. Aim This study explores a case of harmful supervision with the aim of understanding relational factors that contributed to the difficulties encountered. Both the supervisor's and supervisee's perspectives are considered. Method Narrative inquiry was used to analyse supervisor and supervisee interviews. Interviews focused on reconstructing supervision stories associated with critical incidents. Findings Poor orientation to the goals and tasks of supervision and the early undermining of the supervisee's experiences appeared to set up a negative relational process. This led to a cycle of escalating anxiety, amplification, avoidance and non‐disclosure on both sides of the supervisory dyad. In turn, this seemed to contribute towards the emergence of a pseudo‐supervisory alliance. Given the erosion of trust, unresolved issues constantly re‐emerged. The relational processes associated with the case are explored using Jessica Benjamin's Recognition Theory.

“…In subsequent research, Ellis, Creaner, Hutman, and Timulak (2015) conducted a study of supervisees from a range of professions who worked in either the Republic of Ireland (RI) or the United States (US). In this cross-national study, the professional affiliations of both cohorts, Irish and American, were similar.…”

INTRODUCTION: The question of whether the practice of professional supervision is effective, and how its effectiveness can be measured, has been debated by both social work and other professions. This study explored how practitioners, supervisors and managers in Aotearoa New Zealand currently evaluate the supervision they receive, provide and/or resource. The study was interprofessional involving counsellors, mental health nurses, psychologists and social workers. This article focuses on the findings from the social work cohort.METHODS: Through an on-line Qualtrics survey participants were asked: 1) how they currently evaluated professional/clinical supervision; and 2) how they thought professional/clinical supervision could be evaluated. Data were extracted through the Qualtrics reporting functions and thematic analysis was used to identify themes. A total of 329 participants completed the survey of which 145 (44%) were social workers. FINDINGS: A majority of the social work participants reported that they evaluated supervision in some form. No culture or policy emerged regarding supervision evaluation, but social workers expressed interest in training and resources to assist evaluation and some saw a supportive and endorsement role for the professional or regulatory bodies. An unexpected finding was reports of unsatisfactory and harmful supervision.CONCLUSION: Evaluation of supervision is an activity with which social workers engage, but further research is needed to explore how evaluation can be embedded in supervision practice. More critically, a broader audit is required to reconsider the definition and model of social work supervision in Aotearoa New Zealand and the environments within which supervision occurs.

“…However, to date, no study has empirically examined how supervisees prioritize information for clinical supervision, including self‐identifying the needs of their clients and their own developmental needs. This question is salient given that many supervisees are operating autonomously with little to no direct observation from their supervisors (Ellis et al, , ; Rønnestad & Skovholt, ).…”

“…Despite the advantages of direct observation, prelicensed counselors often provide many clinical service hours with little or no direct oversight of their work by supervisors (Amerikaner & Rose, ; Ellis et al, ; Ellis, Creaner, Hutman, & Timulak, ). Furthermore, time in supervision is often limited as supervisors are only recommended to provide at least 1 hour of clinical supervision per week (Ellis et al, ).…”

This qualitative study explored prelicensed counselors’ experiences prioritizing information for clinical supervision. Through phenomenological interviews, 7 counselors seeking licensure discussed how they self‐report salient information to their supervisors. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, the authors identified 3 themes: (a) learned to maximize supervision based on structure of supervision, (b) influences on decision to present, and (c) rationale for presenting client case. Implications for counselors and supervisors are discussed.
