title: Supervisory processes in the training of psychotherapists: Introduction to the special section.
abstract: To help advance the dialogue on effective supervisory processes, we are proud to introduce this special section on supervisory processes. This special section follows the same format of the Clinical Processes published in Psychotherapy. Specifically, authors were charged to describe two to three supervisory actions that are important for an effective supervisory session. For each supervisory process, each author provided information on each of the following areas: (a) the theoretical basis for this action and how students are expected to gain new knowledge, skills, or/and awareness, (b) two to three verbatim supervisory exchanges clearly demonstrating this action, and (c) any supervisory or research that supports the use of this action.
