First, it is requirement for certification and licensure for counselors and social workers. Powell & Brodsky, (2004), defined it as a disciplined, tutorial process wherein principles are transformed into practical skills, with four overlapping foci: administrative, evaluative, clinical, and supportive”. During this process the supervisor participates with supervisees to ensure quality of clinical care. Effective supervisors observe, mentor, coach, evaluate, inspire, and create an atmosphere that promotes self-motivation, learning, and professional development. It should also be noted that supervision is “a social influence process that occurs over time, in which the supervisor participates with supervisees to ensure quality of clinical care. Participation in a clinical supervision group is said to increase one’s accountability on the journey to certification/licensure.
