title: Evaluating the efficacy of reflective practice within the context of clinical supervision.
abstract: This paper explores the efficacy of reflective practice within the context of clinical supervision. It examines some potential limitations that reflective practice has within the context of clinical supervision drawing upon the literature and the early stages of the author's empirical work. It concludes that whilst there is considerable congruence in the use of reflective practice within clinical supervision sessions, there are potential disadvantages in making the assumption that reflective practice should be an integral part of all forms of clinical supervision.
