Counselling Supervision: International Perspectives

Caroll Michael

Abstract

This digest focuses on international perspectives related to counseling supervision. It describes two strands in the history and understanding of supervision, one emerging from the United States and the other from Britain. The factor that distinguishes them is the location of counseling training. In the United States, counselor training has largely taken place in universities, while in Britain counselor training has existed almost exclusively within the private domain. The American and British systems of counselor supervision are compared and contrasted. The digest presents a developmental plan for the supervision process, noting that there appears to be a number of steps through which supervision develops. Internationally, countries may be seen at different stages of counseling supervision. Seven stages of supervision development are identified. The digest concludes that what is needed is more awareness of the cultural aspects of supervision so that supervision can be integrated into different countries with culturally-sensitive adaptations.
