Abstract

The technique of live supervision is discussed in terms of the personal and professional needs of the supervisor. The authors argue that demands specific to live supervision highlight the importance of addressing the supervisor's needs and developmental concerns. Needs for competence, control, personal adequacy, and recognition by colleagues are discussed in light of the trainee's developmental level and the demand characteristics of live supervision. Additionally, contextual factors associated with specific clinical settings in which live supervision may occur are examined. The authors consider the diversity of contextual demands evident in settings such as university counseling centers, community mental health centers and psychiatric inpatient settings.
