ABSTRACT
Supervision in cognitive therapy is structured, focused, and supportive. It facilitates the acquisition and maintenance of therapeutic skills, while simultaneously attending to the personal development of the therapist. Some important refinements to cognitive therapy (regarding the therapeutic alliance and the case conceptualization) have occurred in the last decade. Therapists who do not regularly receive supervision are likely to miss these refinements and drift from the basics of cognitive therapy. This paper reviews developments in cognitive therapy supervision that aim to reduce therapist movement away from the theory and teach therapists about ongoing refinements to cognitive therapy.
