Abstract

Counselor trainees identified factors they believed to be relevant to their willingness to disclose mistakes in clinical supervision. Qualities related to the supervisory relationship, in particular a feeling of mutuality, were found to be most important. Two measures developed by the Stone Center indicated a significant relationship between self-disclosure and perceptions of mutual empathy and mutual empowerment. The study was conducted with 75 pastoral counseling students who reported high levels of both mutuality and self-disclosure in their supervisory relationships. This finding contrasts with previous research on other trainee populations. Participants were from two different types of counseling programs, but results related to mutuality and the supervisory relationship did not vary significantly between the two programs.
