Who gets supervised? An extension of patient selection inequity.
A study of 89 individual psychotherapy patients followed by 17 residents in a teaching clinic demonstrated that those presented for supervision significantly differed from the others in being younger, better educated, and better liked by residents and in having higher incomes and longer term treatment. The authors discuss the implications of these findings in relation to the inequity in service time and teaching emphasis that this selection allows.
