ABSTRACT

This chapter is concerned with perceptions about helpful and unhelpful aspects of supervision during clinical training, as seen through the eyes of both trainees and supervisors.

One author (Jacky) has been a supervisor for many years and has supervised more than a hundred trainees. The other author (Delia) has been involved in clinical psychology training and clinical supervision training, also for many years. But both of us can vividly remember being trainees and what our supervisors did or didn’t do and how crucial that experience was to our future as psychological therapists.
