Current Supervision Scholarship in Psychology

Abstract

This paper reviewed five years of supervision-related articles that had been published in psychology journals. Almost one-fourth of the articles were published in Professional Psychology: Research & Practice. The other journals most frequently represented in this review were the Journal of Counseling Psychology, Journal of Clinical Psychology, and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training. The largest single category of articles during this five-year period concerned supervision that in some way was harmful. Surprisingly few articles, though, concerned issues of race or culture. The most frequent type of article was theoretical or conceptual in nature. However, when the various categories of article that were in one way or another research-based were combined, this comprised the largest overall category.

Key Words:

• Research and practice
