Table 9 -1 Characteristics of Clinical Supervision • supportive; • safe, because of clear, negotiated agreements by all parties with regard to the extent of limits of confidentiality; • brave, because practitioners are encouraged to talk about the realities of their practice; • a chance to talk about difficult areas of work in an environment where the person attempts to understand; • an opportunity to ventilate emotion without comeback; • the opportunity to deal with material and issues that practitioners may have been carrying for many years (the chance to talk about issues which cannot easily be talked about elsewhere and that may have been previously unexplored); Adapted from: Cutcliffe, J. R. , Butterworth, T. , & Proctor, B. (2001). Fundamental themes in clinical supervision. New York: Routledge, pp. 3, 4.
