Reliability and Validity of the Psychotherapy Supervisor Development Scale: A Meta-Analytic Evaluation

Abstract

All therapists at some point struggle with sexual and loving feelings in therapy relationships. Due to the absence of core curriculum on the resultant treatment issues, the psychotherapy supervisor or consultant may be the primary clinical teacher around these complex clinical situations. A safe, shame-free, trustworthy supervisory relationship provides the arena for open dialogue, self-revelation, and deep clinical exploration of these issues.
