Abstract – point of departure
Supervision is vital to the development of psychotherapists (Bernard & Goodyear, 2009) and by novice therapists rated as the most important factor in their professional development (Orlinsky & Rønnestad, 2005).
Paradoxically, the standard version of the Development of Psychotherapists Common Core Questionnaire (DPCCQ) has only few questions on supervision.
Consequently, the Danish version of the DPCCQ has been supplemented by two new sections on supervision, one focusing on supervisees and another on super-visors.
This paper presents results from the supplementary questions on doing supervision (supervisors’ perspective) and being supervised (supervisees’ perspective).

COMMON CORE QUESTIONNAIRE
THIS QUESTIONNAIRE was designed by a group of clinician-researchers from different countries as the basis of an international study of professional psychotherapists. (For simplicity, we use the term ‘therapist’ to refer generally to clinicians of all professional backgrounds and theoretical orientations, and the term ‘patient’ to refer generally to clients, analysands, etc.) MOST OF THE QUESTIONS can be answered quickly by checking or circling the response alternatives that most closely reflect your own experience. Please answer all the questions you can. If you find a question difficult to answer, give your best estimate and continue. The information you provide will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for research purposes. Thanks!

On supervisor development
”…no new models have been developed in the past decade. It is easy to speculate that this lack of activity is related to the lack of any new interest in counselor [supervisor] stage developmental models.”
(Bernard & Goodyear 2009, p. 297)
![Page 53: Stockholm Oktober 2011 Center for Supervision (CS) · International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR)’s Collaborative Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc7962ad6a402d6667255b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Carol Falender
Skills for supervisors – examples:
•! Ability to build relationship and alliance •! Ability to provide effective and summative feedback •! Ability to promote growth and self-assessment in the trainee •! Ability to conduct own self-assessment process •! Ability to assess the learning needs and developmental level of the supervisee •! Ability to encourage and use evaluative feedback from the trainee

7. Conclusion
Novices: Factors for development of professional identity
Focus 1
Supervisor training and experience: Development of competencies?
Focus 2

Supervision – Novices Focus 1
•! Central and critical for novice therapists.
•! Negative experiences in supervision => negative professional identity.
•! Negative experiences in supervision => double traumatization. (under pressure in both therapy and supervision; O&R, 2009)
•! The triad: supervision, clients and personal therapy.
![Page 57: Stockholm Oktober 2011 Center for Supervision (CS) · International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR)’s Collaborative Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc7962ad6a402d6667255b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Supervisors Focus 2
•! Experience is not enough.
•! Training is vital to develop as supervisor.
•! Training is especially central for supervisors to experience themselves as competent.

The troublesome question
Does supervision work ?
Client Therapist / Supervisee Supervisor
![Page 60: Stockholm Oktober 2011 Center for Supervision (CS) · International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR)’s Collaborative Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc7962ad6a402d6667255b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
And how to approach this?
”What supervisory intervention, by what supervisor, is most effective for a particular therapist, with a specific supervisory need, under which set of circumstances will offer the type of treatment, by the aforementioned therapist, that would be most effective for a specific client, with a specific problem, under which set of circumstances?
(Paul 1967; IN Rønnestad & Ladany 2006, p. 263).
![Page 61: Stockholm Oktober 2011 Center for Supervision (CS) · International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR)’s Collaborative Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc7962ad6a402d6667255b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Kind of an answer - or more troublesome questions ?
Reframing this debate, a more rigorous and relevant question would be to determinate whether a therapist has acquired relevant and specific competencies in the course of his/her training or experiences, and whether this process of acquisition is linked to better therapeutic outcomes.
An even more challenging question is whether training enhances therapists´ capacity to generalise their learning…to apply their knowledge to novel clinical situations …? (Roth & Fonagy, 2005, p. 456)
![Page 62: Stockholm Oktober 2011 Center for Supervision (CS) · International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR)’s Collaborative Research](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc7962ad6a402d6667255b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Wampold (2006)
”… one realizes that having a good therapist is much more important than what type of therapy is delivered.”
(IN Rønnestad, 2008).
