ABSTRACT
Supervisors who wish to clarify priorities for their sessions with supervisees have already discussed their philosophy of clinical supervision, their supervision style, and other features of their approach to clinical supervision. “The Experience of Clinical Supervision,” anticipates that it will help readers immerse in the experience of clinical supervision, albeit in necessarily limited ways. The larger picture of clinical supervision is that it improves needed services to clients and facilitates the needed development of supervisees toward becoming effective clinicians. Quite simply, clinical supervision can be and usually is immensely fulfilling. Sessions with supervisees require that their clinical supervisors attend to multiple levels of accountability, knowing that a supervisor cannot attend to all of them at the same time. Experienced clinicians who are also clinical supervisors very likely understand that serious limitations should buffer their readiness to inform the rest of the world about how extremely well they have mastered their roles and practices.
