Document Summary
Supervision - an integral part of your professional training and is one of the ways in which you acquire the competence needed to fulfill your professional responsibilities. Supervision provides a forum for examining your beliefs, attitudes, personality, characteristics, and behaviours as they affect your clients and the therapeutic process. Informed consent in supervision - as essential as informed consent in counselling practice. It is now considered the standard of practice to incorporate clear informed consent material for supervisees, both orally and in writing. In addition, it is the responsibility of supervisors to ensure that supervisees carry out with their client an informed consent process prior to beginning a counselling relationship. Clinical supervisors - have a position of influence with their supervisees; they operate in multiple roles as teacher, mentor, consultant, counselor, sounding board, advise, administrator, evaluator, and recorder and documenter.
