ABSTRACT
Building on Legha’s (2023) compelling conceptual model for engaging in anti-racist supervision in clinical psychology, this commentary introduces relational and organizational factors to be considered. Supplementary perspectives on aspects of anti-racist supervision are offered, and a critical transformative potential model is introduced. This model offers a framework for connecting critical consciousness development and critical action to aid practitioners in engaging in transformative change, one ripple at a time.
