“…There was only one sound and comprehensive psychometric assessment namely the CCS developed to empirically assess the trainee counselors' counseling competencies in terms of counseling skills, dispositions, and behaviors . Unfortunately, most of the supervision literature has been dominated by English-language Western scholars (Falender et al, 2021), and it entirely represents the western culture including CCS psychometric properties. Thus, translating and evaluating the validity and reliability of CCS to be used by trainee counselors in the Malaysian context have been an important purpose of the study.…”

“…That said, the past literature shows that most of the studies related to supervision practice have been conducted through the lens of Western supervision practices (Falender et al, 2021) including psychometric properties development. The problem arises when these psychometric properties are to be used for trainee counselors in Malaysia as they are originally developed and constructed in Western settings, thus leading to the difference in the language and culture (Arifin et al, 2019;Harun et al, 2021;Arifin et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study is to translate the counseling competencies scale (CCS) in the Malaysian context, and subsequently to test the validity and reliability of the psychometrics. Specifically, there was a limited number of psychometric items to evaluate counselor-in-training competencies. Recently, CCS was designed to evaluate trainee counselor competencies including counseling skills, dispositions, and behaviors as it is one of the ethical obligations that need to be fulfilled. However, the CCS has not been adapted culturally or linguistically for the Malay population since it was developed overseas. Previous literature indicates that until now, only one study found translated CCS into Chinese language and culture. On the contrary, there were a few studies carried out on the reliability and validity of CCS. Yet, all of these studies were conducted outside the local context which was a gap in the implementation of this study. Hence, this study was implemented at 9 public universities in Malaysia with samples n=204 internship students and n=62 internship lecturer supervisors involved. The result empirically proves that the Malay version of CCS is valid and has a good consistency. This study also increases the number of competency psychometrics that are applicable to counseling supervision in this country. Furthermore, it provides supervisors and educators with a reliable tool to assess counselor trainee competencies. In contrast, the results might not be representative of all counselor trainees in the counseling program as only the internship students were involved. Future studies should involve trainee counselors from all semesters to ensure the generalizability of the findings.

“…Despite postgraduate trainees being legally responsible for their own clients, their supervisors may still be the target of malpractice lawsuits. As noted in another article in this issue (Falender et al, 2021), supervisors' gatekeeping role is either reduced or absent in many non-Western international contexts; this holds true in Chile as well. For undergraduate psychotherapy trainees, the university program and particularly the final cumulative exam serve the primary gatekeeping function.…”

“…The practice of clinical supervision is relatively well-documented, both in terms of the varieties of models practiced and the roles and tasks that define the practice (Bernard & Goodyear, 2019;Corey, Haynes, Moulton, & Muratori, 2010). But as recent reports from international sources have noted (Falender et al, 2021;Duan, 2018), the existing supervision literature is dominated by practices in Englishspeaking Western nations. In this light, we present a unique tradition of clinical supervision developed over the better part of three decades at Centro de Entrenamiento en Psicoterapia y Coaching (Centro MIP), a post-graduate psychotherapy training institution in Santiago, Chile.…”

This article describes a model of supervision developed by Centro MIP in Santiago, Chile. This model is situated in the cultural history and legal context of psychotherapeutic practice in Chile, as well as in the unique pioneering spirit governing the institute since its founding in 1992. This psychotherapy-based model draws from constructivist and strategic orientations and includes elements of structural, solution-focused, and client-centered practice. The work has an overarching goal of serving the therapeutic growth of the supervisee and is guided by three primary principles: unwavering leadership (liderazgo irrenunciable), pursuing excellence (excelencia), and intervision (intervisión). It is argued that enhancing supervisees' therapeutic effectiveness and their own well-being is facilitated by eschewing within-session summative evaluation in favor of encouragement and bidirectional formative feedback. Several excerpts of supervisory sessions are provided to illustrate the method.

“…1 The aim of CS is to reduce risk through evidence-based ethical practice. 1 Definitions of CS change according to the country undertaking the activity, 2 the discipline 3 and whether the supervisee is a health student or clinician. 4 In Australia, CS is an integral component of health discipline student supervision, which is continued in the clinical setting after graduation.…”

This study investigated clinical supervision with Allied Health professionals in a public health setting. Staff perceptions and experiences were explored through focus group discussions. Key themes identified that supervisees “tip-toe into complexity” by engaging in reflective practice for incremental personal and professional development. In contrast, supervisors identified that reflexivity was required for the opportunity to “develop at a deeper level”. Offering a choice of supervisor and providing supervisor training enhanced supervision experiences. Challenges to effective supervision were identified. Competing priorities, inconsistent modes of delivery, major organisational change and the role of clinical supervision in line with professional development confounded the experiences. Health managers could improve the processes and outcomes by implementing consistency with approach, timing, documentation, language, and structure of Clinical Supervision.
