Abstract
This paper explains that the purpose of counseling supervision is to safeguard the client by promoting the development and well-being of the counselor, monitoring the counselor?s work, and training the counselor. The author points out that the systems approach model is built on seven dimensions, including the institution, the supervisor, the functions of supervision, the supervision relationship, the client, the trainee, and the tasks of supervision. The paper relates that the supervision must always be vigilant, fair, and thorough, with supervisors always staying in contact with their supervisees, lest the pressure and drama associated with a myriad of client personality types take the supervisees into an unreal situation regarding therapy.

From the Paper
"In the book, "Clinical Supervision: A Systems Approach" (Holloway, 1995), the author lays out the fact that ?supervision is among the most complex of all activities associated with the practice of psychology.? Additionally, Holloway (2-3) asserts that ?clinical supervision? ? which takes place between two individuals, one the supervisor, one the supervisee, who meet on a regular schedule to discuss clinical and professional issues ? goes deeper to the heart of the needs of the counsellor than administrative supervision. In short, clinical supervision concentrates on developing the supervisee?s skills, offers support for and helps frame the vision of the supervisee. Administrative supervision is about paperwork, recruiting, delegating and ?acting as a change agent within the organization.?"

Abstract
This paper cites a number of different expert opinions on the role of the supervisor in the counseling process. The paper uses these expert opinions to explain the role of the supervisor and the relationship that might exist between the supervisor and the trainee. The paper also discusses the damage that can occur as a result of nondisclosure of relevant case material by supervisees, such as diminished treatment quality or increased liability risk of supervisors. Additionally, the paper discusses eight supervisory themes and issues that tend to recur in group supervisor supervision and suggests intervention strategies to address them.
From the Paper
"Gundrun (1991) stated that supervision means that trainees are confronted with old patterns of relating to authority figures. In the trainees' unconscious minds, supervisors play the roles of parents, teachers, or other authority figures. Especially in the early supervisory process, supervisors may be identified with parental figures. We may assume that the supervisory situation is evocative of the supervisees' relationship with authority figures, independent of the role supervisors may play in reality. For example, supervisors can act more as teachers of psychotherapy with a patient-centered approach, giving didactic comments about the patients and recommendations on technique or in a more supervisee-oriented approach, they can focus on the supervisees' experiences with their patients and supervisors, by exploring attitudes rather than teach techniques. A third approach supervisors could use would be two combining or alternating the patient-centered and supervisee-oriented approaches according to the demands of the situation."

Counseling Supervision, 2005.
A look at what the counseling supervisor's role is and how it serves to help both the client and the counselor.

Abstract
This paper explains that counseling supervision entails that persons in a therapeutic role are supervised by a peer for the purpose of professional and personal development and that in the United Kingdom this supervisory relationship continues even after the counselor has finished her training. The paper points out that this is different from the U.S. where the supervisory relationship is no longer deemed necessary after the training period. The paper also examines the reasons for these two different systems and suggests that the United States is at a lesser stage of development than the United Kingdom in their supervisory practice.
From the Paper
"Supervising paradigms are thus often the result of culturally developed norms of providing counseling to clients. In the United States for example, the conceptual influencing practice requires counselors to be supervised only in training, whereas they are left to practice on their own after training. The British model focuses more on practice moving towards theory, which makes peer review and consistent standards of theoretical counseling practice important."

Abstract
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.

Ethics and Responsibilities
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."

Abstract
The paper explores the supervision process of trainee teachers within the education system and the merits of evaluation of these trainees. It compares formative and summative evaluation, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of each. It concludes by proposing a combination of formative and summative evaluation as the most effective method.
From the Paper
"The basic purpose of evaluation is to assess whether the person is capable of doing the job, or to judge whether ?an individual is fit to practice a profession autonomously? (McGaghie 5). This evaluation is important based on the responsibility the individual will have. There needs to be a system that does ensure they are capable of doing the job without supervision. However, I think it is also true that an individual does not always know instinctively how to act in professional situations. There is a major difference between learning the profession in a classroom setting and actually performing the role of the profession. This evaluation process then can be best used if it is not just a process of watching the individual and assessing them, but also a process of guiding and advising them. In this way it becomes on-the-job training and the individual can use this time to perfect their approach and learn as much as possible."

"In addition to individual supervision, the counseling student receives group supervision as well. As such, group supervision includes case consultations wherein students are provided an opportunity to gain feedback and share information will other trainees and professional staff with respect to on-going program development (Werstlein, 1994). In fact, in today's world of mega technology researchers investigating the role of group supervision in counseling have even turned to computer-based tactics for group supervision training purposes (Janoff & Schoenholtz-Read 1999)."

Abstract
This paper examines the impact evaluation has on supervisor and supervisee relationships within the counseling profession. In particular, the paper attempts to uncover what role, if any, proper evaluation and quality supervisor and supervisee relationships have on a supervisee's ability to achieve a positive client outcome. The paper also examines evidence that supports better evaluation techniques as a means of improving supervisee skill attainment and development.
Outline:
Quality of Supervisory Relationship in Counseling
How Supervisory Relationship Impacts Quality Counseling
Enhancing the Evaluation Process To Benefit Supervisor and Supervisee
Conclusions
From the Paper
"There are many approaches to investigating the role of supervisor and supervisee. Jones (2001) notes that supervisors and supervisees should consider their roles and responsibilities "outside supervision and how these influence the supervision relationship" (43). Further Jones notes that it is important that supervisors work constructively with supervisees to maintain the integrity of their relationship. In times of old much of the reporting done on supervisor relationships tended to focus on self-reported behaviors both from supervisors and supervisees (Clark, et. al, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in 1989, a great movement swept the counseling profession, one calling for the creation of supervision standards for professional counseling, and how the primary goals of such measures were to protect the best interests of the public and the clientele served by the counseling communities. The paper then examines how many historical events necessitated this movement, the impact of those standards and the need to constantly review and update them.
Outline:
The Motivation Behind Supervision Standards for Professional Counseling
Impact of Standards on Professional Counseling
Need to Update, Revise or Add to Existing Standards
From the Paper
"Currently, there is a great need to update and revise the existing standards, created almost 20 years ago (Cobia & Pipes, 2002). To this date, roughly 20 years following the creation of the standards in 1989, many new trends and theories have predominated in the field of professional counseling. It is now important to build on the existing standards to meet the needs of a changing clientele, one that faces problems very different from those faced during the previous 20 years. In addition to this, many recent researchers not multiple studies suggest there are "barriers" that prevent professionals from utilizing standards in the most efficient way possible, in part because many professional counselors do not agree on the definitions related to supervision and training, and also because many studies of the past leading to the original set of standards did not correctly identify the validity of the studies nor utilize methods for identifying threats to the methodology of the studies (Goodyear & Bernard, 1998; Schult, 1996; Cobia & Pipes, 2002)."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the article ?Person-Centered Counseling: The Culture? by Ann Shanks Glauser and Jerold Bozarth which explores the conditions that are necessary for successful counseling and focuses especially on the specialty of multicultural counseling. It discusses the argument that person-centered counselling is at the very heart of success in counseling and that the relationship between the client and counselor and the client?s situational and personal resources are the essential variables that determine its success. It provides statistical evidence for the relative unimportance of counseling technique noting that only 15% of the success variance of the counseling relationship comes from technique whereas 30% of the success variance comes from the client-counsellor relationship and an impressive 40% comes from extratherapeutic variables or chance occurrences. It explores the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client and concludes that the article is well-researched and internally consistent.
From the Paper
"The authors then go on to explore the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client. They note that ?most theories consider the (client-therapist) relationship as critical?. A successful relationship is defined by the counselor?s empathy for the client, seen in his or her genuineness with the client, and the counselor?s true respect and value for the client. Glauser and Bazarth note, ?Making judgments about people\'s humanity and its quality due to established criteria is to rely on tired but extremely powerful discourses steeped in oppression.?"

Abstract
In this article the writer aims to explore how much satisfaction online counseling brings to clients as compared to the traditional process of face-to-face counseling. The writer looks at changing elements within the field as online counseling continuously grows, achieving success. This paper attempts to explain what methods and modalities work in favor of online counseling and those that yield the highest client satisfaction. Further, the writer points out that legal and ethical issues continue to be a concern when using this new method of counseling. This paper explores the works and areas that increase client satisfaction of online counseling.
From the Paper
"Moreover, according to Leibert's and his colleagues' findings, the foremost benefit to patients why online counseling appeals to them is the preservation of their privacy and anonymity. This is especially true to people who are uncomfortable with the traditional method of therapy and are unable to acquire counseling services because of fear of revealing their identity. With online counseling, such kind of people is already able to get counseling service. Renee Gedge indicates that 91% of people with anxiety disorders prefer therapy served online.
Further advantages found from online counseling is its accessibility to clients. Through online counseling, people who have busy schedules can still acquire therapy without the need to travel. Just by sitting in front of their computers and accessing online counseling services, they can still continue their therapeutic sessions."

From the Paper
"According to research the most important aspect of cross-cultural counseling that needs to be examined is how a practice is conceptualized(Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003). Traditional counseling methods are often defined as "ethnocentric" even though the client base that many practitioners work from is ethno culturally diverse in nature (McNeill, Horn & Perez, 1995). Many practitioners unfortunately still believe that ethnicity is not a dimension of identity, but rather see it as a client characteristic, thus their practices do not work to embrace ethnic identity as an experience to be shared by all parties involved in the counseling process (Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper describes the group counseling process. The author points out that this literature review upholds the view that group therapy among college-aged students is 'just as' if not 'more' effective in therapy-based interventions with motivation for change, a determinative factor in the success of this type of intervention. The paper states that group-counseling intervention is under-utilized by college-aged students.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"These stages are often referred to as "forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning." The first stage of 'dependency' or 'forming' is a time when members explore the group and themselves and establish trust. The second stage of 'conflict' or 'storming' may be either "overt or covert. The type and amount of conflict that is generated relates to how much jockeying for position goes on in the group." Stage three is 'cohesion' or 'norming' in which a "spirit of we-ness" is established and each person feels a part of the group which is conducive to "productive sharing"."

Abstract
This paper relates that as genetic screening becomes more common so will the need to deal with persons who are displeased with its results and revelations. The paper then discusses how clinicians must acquire grief and bereavement counseling skills if they are to provide advice and information about interpreting and making decisions about a genetic screening. The paper emphasizes the importance of having such skills and presents examples of situations that illustrate why grief and bereavement counseling skills are so important in genetic screening. The paper concludes that, if the counseling experience is to be satisfactory, the counselor must help parents meet the immediate and long-term social needs of affected individuals in addition to their medical needs.
From the Paper
"However imperfectly it is disseminated, via phone, or arranging for another appointment at a later date, follow-up counseling is just as essential as follow-up physical care. Many counselors believe "the couple should be advised not to have another child until the grieving process has been completed. Counseling should be directed at helping the couple overcome feelings of guilt, feelings of decreased self-worth and feelings of defectiveness. Referral to support groups may be helpful or the use of non-judgmental counseling and support structures that are accessible within the couple's own community (Rosenfeld 1992:1). Providing advice about creating such groups within communities without access to the more extensive array of options in urban locations should be a long-term goal pursued by the health care community."

Abstract
This paper shows how counseling skills can be used in social work and what social workers can do to take these skills and ensure that as many people as possible are helped. The paper first defines counseling so that there is a clear understanding, albeit in general terms, of what is being discussed in the rest of the paper. Following that, the principles of counseling are discussed so that they too can be clearly understood. Next, some examples are given to illustrate how these counseling skills can be used by social workers. The conclusion ties together all of these issues and shows a cohesiveness between all of the main points that are presented throughout the paper.
Definition of Counseling
Principles of Counseling
Situations in Which Social Workers Would Use Counseling Skills
From the Paper
"Counseling skills can encompass many different aspects of life, and they are of great use to those in social work. Unfortunately, many social workers do not realize just how important these kinds of skills are and therefore do not get the training in them that they really need. Since social workers are not counselors and do not usually see what they do as 'therapy' of any kind, they do not look to counseling as having a place in their work and the families that they often are called upon to help. However, much of what a social worker does for those that need help is actually counseling of a sort, and by learning more about counseling skills those that spend their time in the social work field can utilize what they already know, along with the counseling skills, to help many more individuals and families in new and better ways, which will ultimately be to the benefit of society."
