ABSTRACT
Supervision of therapeutic practice is one of the cornerstones of the mental health professions (Brown & Lent, 2007; Falender & Shafranske, 2004). In fact, most mental health professions require a certain number of hours of supervision before beginning therapists can become licensed. Seasoned adventure therapists seek out supervision to improve their skills by receiving feedback from peers. Supervision is intended to provide professional growth for therapists, more effective therapy for clients, and some measure of protection for the welfare of clients and the public (Freitas, 2002). Probably the main purpose of supervision is to provide a source of information on the content, processes, and insights into situations that have become difficult, if not problematic, for therapists and their clients.
