ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with an attempt to define what is meant by evaluation in supervision. It does so by contrasting perspectives on evaluation, which are evident within professions with established traditions of supervision. It then ventures to describe a fledgling systemic model of evaluative analysis, which is related to case-study material arising from the author's own experiences of providing facilitative support for practising supervisors. The chapter also offers a short summary of the methods of evaluation found within the current literature, but endeavours to see where else the debate can be taken. In this discussion the concern is more with gaining a broader view of evaluation in supervision, rather than focusing on the more usual one-dimensional orientation, with its concern for the supervisee's therapeutic relationships and skills.
