Psychotherapy supervision in the 21st century. Some pressing needs and impressing possibilities

Abstract

As a professional and educational service, psychotherapy supervision looms large in importance. Yet if psychotherapy supervision is to most viably advance in the century ahead, a number of pressing measurement, research, and training/practice needs cry out to be better addressed. Ten such needs are identified by drawing on recent major research reviews and other substantive supervision publications. The author concludes that better addressing these needs would expand and fortify the empirical base of psychotherapy supervision and also enhance its training and practice base.
