ABSTRACT
As for the relative anonymity of the supervisor, the list of common frame violations is long and all too well rationalized. The issue is one of relative anonymity in that a small measure of inevitable self-revelation by a supervisor is inescapable and non-deviant. A supervisor's relative anonymity also is modified significantly through all types of social contacts between a supervisor and supervisee — again past, present, and future. Supervision is a serious and delicate pursuit that involves the highly sensitive and easily disturbed conscious system of the emotion-processing mind of the supervisee. The ground rules of supervision call for the presentation of the process-note case material as the supervisee's central obligation. There are both similarities and differences between the frames of psychotherapy and of supervision — and they apply to the overall situation and to the requisites of both supervisor and supervisee.
