Abstract: Many of the processes in supervision mirror the flow of therapy, with relationship as the primary factor. That said, effective supervisors have the ability to analyze their relationship with the supervisee on multiple levels simultaneously: in therapy, in supervision, and in each supervisee's own world. Supervisors help their supervisees recognize where they are in their professional development process, including fostering a professional identity. Supervision relationships work best when they are built on mutual trust and respect. Effective clinical supervisors assist supervisees to facilitate their clients' search for meaning in their chronic illness, disability, trauma, loss, and other major life stressors that challenge them daily. Indeed, empathy is at the foundation of the helping profession, and it informs counselor competence and ethical practices. Effective supervisors appreciate the influence of culture. They are aware of the ways in which their own culture affects them, and they respect the diversity of values espoused by other cultures.
