Clinical Supervision: An Intensive Case Study

We used a rigorous case study methodology to examine one supervisory dyad's work together during one semester. We used the "best-worst" strategy of several recent researchers, multiple sources of qualitative and quantitative process data, and the perspectives both of the participants and of observers. A number of findings provide hypotheses to guide future research. For example. Session 2 was identified as best by both participants. That it focused on relationship issues between the participants is consistent with other findings that the supervisor-supervisee relationship was a primary focus during the first several supervisory sessions.
