Making your relationship work

Article Abstract:

Clinical supervision can only be effective if both the supervisor and the supervisee are fully prepared for the supervision process. It is important to be aware that clinical supervision demands time, energy and commitment, and that patience and listening skills are required. The supervisor and the supervisee must agree on the frequency of meetings and where they will take place, and must set the parameters of supervision. At a later stage, the supervisor and the supervisee should consider the need to analyze ways of measuring the effectiveness of the supervision relationship.
