Facilitative and hindering factors regarding the supervisory relationship based on supervisors’ and undergraduate supervisees’ opinions

The purpose of the present study was to examine Turkish counseling supervisors’ and undergraduate supervisees’ opinions about the supervisory relationship. Upon completion of Individual Counseling Practice course, semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with four voluntary supervisors (two female and two male) and their four voluntary undergraduate supervisees (four female) in a case study design. Content analysis results revealed three main categories of supervisors’ and supervisees’ opinions on the supervisory relationship: a) facilitative factors, b) hindering factors, and c) effects. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature and recommendations regarding developing strong supervisory relationship with undergraduate supervisees are presented.

Süpervizörlerin ve lisans düzeyinde süpervizyon alan psikolojik danışman adaylarının görüşlerine dayalı olarak süpervizyon ilişkisini kolaylaştıran ve zorlaştıran faktörler

Bu araştırmada, süpervizörlerin ve lisans düzeyinde süpervizyon alan psikolojik danışman adaylarının süpervizyon ilişkisine yönelik görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bireyle Psikolojik Danışma Uygulaması dersi sonunda, gönüllü dört süpervizör (iki kadın ve iki erkek) ve onlardan süpervizyon alan gönüllü dört psikolojik danışman adayı (dört kadın) ile durum çalışması deseni kapsamında yarı yapılandırılmış bireysel görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Süpervizyon ilişkisine yönelik süpervizörlerin ve süpervizyon alan psikolojik danışman adaylarının görüşlerine dayalı olarak elde edilen verilerin içerik analizi sonuçları üç temel kategoride toplanmıştır: a) kolaylaştırıcı faktörler, b) zorlaştırıcı faktörler ve c) etkiler. Bulgular, ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmış ve lisans düzeyinde süpervizyon alan psikolojik danışman adaylarıyla güçlü süpervizyon ilişkisi kurulmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
