A Phenomenological investigation of 'good' supervision events - Worthen, Vaughn.;McNeill, Brian. 4 0 16; 5
ABSTRACT : This study explored the experience of good supervision events from the perspective of supervisees using a qualitative phenomenological research methodology. Eight intermediate-level to advanced-level trainees participated in a tape-recorded interview in which they described a recent good supervision experience, yielding transcripts that were subjected to a qualitative analysis. A general meaning structure for the experience of good supervision events was developed. Identification of salient themes reflective of good supervision events within the general meaning structure resulted in four distinct supervision phases: (a) existential baseline, (b) setting the stage, (c) good supervision experience, and (d) outcomes of good supervision. In addition, the quality of the supervisory relationship was cited as a crucial and pivotal component by all supervisees. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
