Counseling Supervision

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the supervision of counseling professionals, as a field of practice, began as part of the training process in psychoanalysis and has developed into two methods: Approach-oriented and eclectic. The author points out that there are five ethical principles in the "good practice" strategy for evaluating in a supervisory/counseling environment: Fidelity, justice, beneficence, non-malfeasance and autonomy. The paper relates that the abuse especially sexual contact of the client by the counselor ranks as the most egregious.

From the Paper:

"The fact that psychoanalysis was the footing, the foundation, of what today has emerged as "counseling" and "counseling supervision" - professions that very clearly stand on their own - is germane to this book's entire editorial thrust. Indeed, on page 10 the authors state that it is "necessary," when approaching the counselor's "emotional and psychological material" regarding that counselor's client, to "engage in what amounts to therapeutic work" with that counselor."
