Summary

Although most psychologists will provide clinical supervision during their career, it can be daunting to step into this critical professional role. This chapter is intended to demystify the process of becoming a supervisor. We will do this by providing broad theoretical models for conceptualizing the practice of supervision and specific practical suggestions that are intended to guide graduate students, interns, postdoctoral fellows, and early career psychologists through the process of learning to be a supervisor. We will review the ethical context of clinical supervision, provide an overview of current competency-based supervision practice, and provide suggestions for how to integrate ethical and multicultural considerations into supervision. Throughout the chapter we use a narrative approach that incorporates the perspectives of an experienced clinical supervisor and the perspectives of the second author from when she was an advanced graduate student just starting her journey towards becoming a competent supervisor.
