- We all start here but do not want to stay here
Transitional Stage
1) Both the supervisor and supervised are participating.
2) Supervisor may stop commenting on an observation sheet and instead have an open dialogue with us.
3) Joint problem solving and decision making.
4) Supervisee learns to analyze their clinical action and plan future strategies based on that analysis.
- Most of us will end up in this stage with out supervisor while at Marywood.
Self-supervision stage
1) Supervisees have the ability to self-analyze their critical behavior accurately and to alter it.
2) Sometimes the supervisee is left alone with client.
- Very few of us will end up here while at the Marywood clinic.
