ABSTRACT
In private practice supervision, external pressures to end with a particular supervisee are absent unless one party or the other is completing a course or placement, or changing work or moving, or is dissatisfied. Long-term supervisory relationships can become significant emotional attachments for both parties. A change of supervisor may be a time to acknowledge the relationship, and also has to include thought about any potential impact on clients, some feedback or review of the development of the supervisee, and attention to any necessary administrative tasks associated with training, or membership of or accreditation by a professional body.
