Integrative Developmental Model for Narrative Supervision

ABSTRACT

This article introduces a combined supervision model, the Integrative Developmental Model for Narrative Supervision (IDMNS), which incorporates the Integrative Developmental Model and Narrative Supervision Model. This model provides concrete guidelines for supervisors to incorporate narrative processes in clinical supervision while attending to supervisees’ developmental needs. Specifically, the proposed tenets of the model include multicultural awareness, supervisory relationship, and narrative facilitation. The benefits and the limitations of the model are identified along with a case study of the IDMNS in practice. Implications for future research are discussed.
