The supervision of psychotherapy supervisor trainees.
Corresponding to the four stages of the SCM, supervision environments/behaviors--which could be used to guide thinking about the supervision of psychotherapy supervisor trainees--have been proposed and described. The supervision environments are designed to match the particular needs of psychotherapy supervisors at the four SCM stages. From this presented conceptualization, the reader can see that the supervision of psychotherapy supervisor trainees proceeds through (1) an initial period where a strong, secure "hold" and direct instruction, teaching, and structure are needed, to (2) a period where a continued but loosened "hold" and continued but lessened instruction, teaching, and structure are needed, to (3) a period where an even greater loosening occurs and a shift to more of a collegiate/collaborative stance evolves, to (4) a period where a collegiate/collaborative stance totally predominates.
