The professional development and supervision of psychotherapists

From existing empirical and conceptual research, we can conclude that supervision,for both the supervisee and the supervisor, seems to deserve the central role that it has attained in the career development of psychotherapists. Although the emphasis of supervisory methods and foci may vary across supervisee experience level,as we have suggested in this article, effective supervision should at all times provide the structure that ensures collegial dialogues and thus creates an opportunity for psychotherapists to continually reflect upon their professional experiences.
