ABSTRACT

Mental health services are provided by a broad (and growing) spec trum of professionals, each with its own specific requirements regard ing who can provide prelicensure or precertification supervision, how many hours of supervision are required, what type of direct clinical services qualify, and necessary documentation. Summaries of these requirements for various professional groups are provided elsewhere, and we will not examine them in detail. We strongly recommend that clinical supervisors, or aspiring supervisors, remain in contact with the appropriate licensure board or professional organization so they can keep up to date on the relevant requirements and standards.
