Abstract
Clinical supervision has moved to the forefront of research as its value has become
recognized. However, the practice of competent supervision is only recently become
operationalized and many counsellors still receive inadequate supervision by wellmeaning
supervisors. The purpose of this project is to provide both a resource for
supervisors of paraprofessional counsellors who do not have master level education, and
for counsellors who are unregulated. Five questions are addressed: (a) What are the key
elements of competent clinical supervision? (b) What do novice supervisors need to know
about clinical supervision? (c) What are the ethical implications of clinical supervision?
(d) What should be included in clinical supervision training process? (e) How can clinical
supervisors incorporate multicultural competence into practice? The first section of the
project addresses these questions by examining recent research. The applied portion of
the manual operationalizes the seven domains of supervision practice that includes
professional preparedness, structuring the supervisor relationship, relational supervision,
assessment, evaluation and reporting, ethics, diversity and social justice and
professionalism.
