“…This emphasis on self-awareness and collaboration begins at the first supervisory session, not waiting for anxiety to subside, but utilizing active listening and thoughtful questioning to create an atmosphere of collaboration in the supervisory relationship from the very beginning . Ward and House (1998) offer a useful and specific series of questions that promote reflection while also suggesting a phase model of clinical development for counselors that emphasizes ''concurrent development of both supervisees and the supervision relationship'' (p. 4). Their framework for instituting reflective supervision will in turn promote clinical independence by encouraging a self-analysis process.…”

“…Supervisees are asked to think about their roles in client interactions, examine their thoughts and feelings, and reflect upon the relationship of their personal experiences to client care. Reflective supervisors are challenged to focus on the ''thematic rather than content patterns of the supervisees' report of the counseling session'' (Ward & House, 1998). This emphasis on self-awareness and collaboration begins at the first supervisory session, not waiting for anxiety to subside, but utilizing active listening and thoughtful questioning to create an atmosphere of collaboration in the supervisory relationship from the very beginning .…”

Reflective supervision asks supervisors to focus on the themes expressed by supervisees and to examine meaning and relational content. However, supervisors may not be aware of how to facilitate this type of interaction at various levels of clinical development. This article integrates the ideas of developmental stage models and reflective supervision and discusses the implementation of reflective supervision to new social workers specifically. These concepts are applied to case vignettes to provide practical application for supervisors in implementing reflection throughout their work with new social workers with the goal of increasing reflective content early in the process.

“…A study of nearly 200 medical students showed that continuous reflection is one of the key components of their training, enabling an increase in their ability to learn more skills during their courses 30 . Similarly, reflectiveness has been taught during the training of professionals caring for mentally disabled patients, and for their supervision 32,33 . In summary, the ability to self-reflect improves both procedural experience in the therapeutic process and the clinicians' ability to continually use their own emotions to better understand the therapeutic relationship 34,35 .…”

Objective. Supervision is a basic part of training and ongoing education in cognitive behavioural therapy. Self-reflection is an important part of supervision. The conscious understanding of one's own emotions, feelings, thoughts, and attitudes at the time of their occurrence, and the ability to continuously follow and recognize them are among the most important abilities of both therapists and supervisors. The objective of this article is to review aspects related to supervision in cognitive behavioural therapy and self-reflection in the literature. Methods. This is a narrative review. A literature review was performed using the PubMed, SciVerse Scopus, and Web of Science databases; additional references were found through bibliography reviews of relevant articles published prior to July 2011. The databases were searched for articles containing the following keywords: cognitive behavioural therapy, self-reflection, therapeutic relationship, training, supervision, transference, and countertransference. The review also includes information from monographs referred to by other reviews. Results. We discuss conceptual aspects related to supervision and the role of self-reflection. Self-reflection in therapy is a continuous process which is essential for the establishment of a therapeutic relationship, the professional growth of the therapist, and the ongoing development of therapeutic skills. Recognizing one's own emotions is a basic skill from which other skills necessary for both therapy and emotional self-control stem. Therapists who are skilled in understanding their inner emotions during their encounters with clients are better at making decisions, distinguishing their needs from their clients' needs, understanding transference and countertransference, and considering an optimal response at any time during a session. They know how to handle their feelings so that these correspond with the situation and their response is in the client's best interest. The ability to self-reflect increases the ability to perceive other people's inner emotions, kindles altruism, and increases attunement to subtle signals indicating what others need or want. Self-reflection may be practised by the therapists themselves using traditional cognitive behavioural therapy techniques, or it may be learned in the course of supervision. If therapists are unable to recognize their own thoughts and feelings, or the effects of their attitudes in a therapeutic situation, then they are helpless against these thoughts and feelings, which may control the therapist's behaviour to the disadvantage of the client and therapist alike. Conclusion. Training and supervision focused on self-reflection are beneficial to both supervisees and their clients. The more experienced the supervisor is, the more self-reflection used in therapy and supervision.

“…Although there are several models of reflective supervision (e.g. Neufeldt, 2007; Ward & House, 1998), the constructive approach (Guiffrida, 2015) is particularly well suited for helping supervisees explore ethical dilemmas related to diversity and inclusion because the ideas upon which the approach is based—growth, change, and meaning making—are closely aligned with the principles of multicultural counseling and supervision (Hanson, 2010). Additionally, research suggests that the constructive approach provides a powerful means of facilitating supervisor–supervisee relationships (Hathaway, 2012).…”

Although much has been written to help counselors understand the potential impact of their own biases toward clients from traditionally marginalized groups, much less attention has been given to assist counselors working with clients who express discriminatory views that counselors may find offensive. In this article, the authors briefly outline how constructive clinical supervision can be integrated with aspects of relational–cultural theory and moral foundations theory to help counselors work with clients who espouse discriminatory views.
