Abstract

Abstract Supervision may be provided by either insiders to the organizations from which supervisees come (employed by the agencies themselves), outsiders (privately contracted by supervisees to provide supervision) or embedded supervisors (outsiders to an agency with whom both supervisees and their agencies contract for supervision and training). While it is not uncommon for agencies to rely on supervision of their staff by nonagency personnel, outsider and embedded supervisors face challenges. These include the politics of clinical leadership; boundaries to professional practice; confidentiality; access to videotapes, audiotapes, and live supervision; and problems with routine logistics related to sustaining supervision over time. In this paper we explore these challenges and issues worth considering as supervisors and supervisees work to resolve them.
