ABSTRACT
Own supervisory style has evolved out of particular experiences and particular professional training. In spite of differences in styles and personalities, share a unity of ideas about social work supervision. Most basically, feel that it is a practical method of telescoping expertise, experience, and knowledge through various professional levels to the consumer of the service. The most traditional and formal of the supervisory methods is individual supervision. In the Case Aide Program, the initial phase of individual supervision can best be characterized as an exploration and assessment of both Case Aide and patient. The “Case-Aide-ing” situation seemed to bring out some problems related to the sex of the volunteer. In the Case Aide Program, were also program directors and were responsible for the over-all administration and management of the Program and its resources—time, limited money, and manpower.
