“…The two scoping searches from the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) completed by Wheeler (2003) (see also Wheeler & Richards, 2007) provided useful systematic reviews of the research but found few studies that focused on the outcomes of supervision or met the criteria for rigorous research. This concurred with the views of Fleming and Steen (2004), who saw research on supervision as being largely descriptive and relying on supervisees' reactions to supervision rather than on actual outcomes. The United States has seen more methodological studies, with an emphasis on qualified supervisees rather than trainees (Landany, 2004).…”

The author reviews the literature on supervision and the use of autoethnography as a research method. On this basis she then explores her own ideas for improving cultural reflexivity within models of supervision, with a particular focus on transactional analysis. She suggests that supervisory practice could be enhanced by being aware of the elliptical spaces between personal identity and the professional role, between supervisor and supervisee, and between both individuals and their cultural worlds. Transactional analysis, with its focus on cocreated interactions, offers an opportunity for mutual reflexivity and the application of this elliptical approach. KeywordsTransactional analysis supervision, reflexivity, culture, ellipses, autoethnography, psychotherapy, counseling, anthropologyThe ellipsis is a grammatical tool (…) used in English to show a pause or silence and to indicates the omission or suppression of a word or phrase. As used in modern social technologies, it represents hesitation, intention, or suspension. I use the concept of ellipsis (Clagett, 1959, p. 197) to express a number of statistical, linguistic, and social phenomena whereby the missing material can potentially be recovered through the supervision process. The ellipsis operates from intuition and can offer a potential source for reciprocity. I use it as a metaphor for the kinds of spaces that emerge in supervision and that are especially important to engage in reflectively in supervision that is open and sensitive to cross-cultural differences.Autoethnography a is a form of self-reflection and writing that explores the researcher's personal experience and connects this autobiographical story to wider cultural, political, and social meanings and understandings. As a research method, it is used widely in anthropology as a way of looking at the self in relation to others in a cultural context (Ellis, 2004). It offers an opportunity "to uncover, record, interpret and position, from an insider's perspective and experience, the processes supervisors use" (Stewart, 2001-online article) For me, it seems a useful tool for exploring my own position as supervisor and supervisee.Supervision is a multifacted process based on evidence-based practice, which makes it challenging to both learn and impart as a skill. I am suggesting it should incorporate a range of types of research evidence that are valuable in the practice of counseling and psychotherapy (McDonnell, 2011). However, insufficient attention has been given to the cultural aspects of supervision. I will describe a model of cultural reflexivity that can be used to enhance our understanding of the supervisory role within supervision in general and how it can be used in transactional analysis (TA) supervision in particular. I aim to explore the "foundations and assumptions" (Jones & Mehr, 2007, p766) of the psychotherapy supervision in the hope that doing so will guide counseling and psychotherapy research and metasynthesis so as to better inform practice decisions around supervision.H...

Examining forensic interviewers’ perceptions of practice-focused supervision

Regular supervision influences interviewing quality with child witnesses. It is unclear, however, whether interviewers recognize the importance of supervision, and how often they access it. The present study surveyed 39 New Zealand Specialist Child Witness Interviewers (otherwise known as forensic interviewers), and examined: (a) their access to, and, perceptions of supervision, and (b) factors that may influence their access to, and, perceptions of supervision. We identified 26 interviewers who received some form of practice-focused supervision. Within this group, there was considerable variability in terms of how often they accessed supervision, and, their ratings of how satisfied they were with their access to, and the content of, supervision. Furthermore, some of those who did participate in supervision felt they did not actually receive specific input about their interviewing. Thus, an important area for investment in promoting good interviewing practice is developing effective approaches to facilitate interviewers engaging in regular practice-focused supervision, perhaps, at least in part, by addressing some of systemic barriers identified (e.g. limited financial support, time constraints, lack of experienced supervisors, lack of understanding/support from managerial staff and geographical isolation).
