ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we draw some implications for supervision from our findings. The chapter is divided into two parts. In the first part, we present our view of general principles of supervision that are relevant regardless of the experience level of the supervisee. These principles have a parallel to the perspective of common factors in psychotherapy. In the second part, we present ideas that are particularly relevant for the supervisor to consider in the supervision of students and therapists at different experience levels. By doing so, we hope to convey a developmentally sensitive approach to supervision. We are not advocating an approach to supervision where there are specific tasks and methods that are unique to each phase of professional development. Such an approach disregards the variations among students and practitioners at various experience levels, which we have described in the preceding chapters.
