,Section A - Models AND Theories OF Clinical Supervision
Q1.
A supervisee consistently avoids discussing countertransference reactions with a
supervisor who uses a client-centered approach. The supervisor should recognize this as
most likely indicative of which supervisory issue?
A. Resistance due to mismatch in theoretical B. Parallel process where the supervisee's
orientation avoidance mirrors the client's behavior
C. Developmental stage of the supervisee D. Ethical violation requiring termination of
requiring more structure supervision
Correct: B - Parallel process where the supervisee's avoidance mirrors the client's
behavior
Rationale:Parallel process involves the supervisee unconsciously enacting the client’s
interpersonal patterns within supervision. The supervisee's avoidance mirrors the client's
likely avoidance, and the supervisor's client-centered approach may inadvertently reinforce
this. Option A is less likely because the supervisor's orientation is client-centered, which
should encourage exploration. Option C might be plausible but does not capture the dynamic.
Option D is premature.
Q2.
Under the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics, when a supervisor learns that a supervisee has had a
sexual relationship with a former client, the supervisor's FIRST responsibility is to:
A. Report the supervisee to the state B. Discuss the situation with the supervisee
licensing board immediately and document the conversation
C. Terminate the supervisory relationship D. Notify the client's current therapist to
and refer the supervisee for remediation ensure continuity of care
Correct: B - Discuss the situation with the supervisee and document the conversation
Rationale:The ACA Code of Ethics (F.4.c.) requires supervisors to address ethical violations
directly with supervisees first, through discussion and documentation. Immediate reporting (A)
may be required later but is not the first step. Termination (C) is premature without due
process. Notifying the client's therapist (D) may breach confidentiality without the client's
consent.
Q3.
In the Discrimination Model, a supervisor who uses the 'teacher' role to provide direct
instruction on cognitive-behavioral techniques is primarily functioning in which
supervisory focus?
Page 3
, Section A - Models AND Theories OF Clinical Supervision
A. Process B. Conceptualization
C. Personalization D. Intervention
Correct: D - Intervention
Rationale:The Discrimination Model (Bernard, 1979) identifies three foci: intervention (skills),
conceptualization (understanding), and personalization (self-awareness). Teaching CBT
techniques directly targets intervention skills. Process (A) is not a focus in this model.
Conceptualization (B) involves case formulation. Personalization (C) involves the supervisee's
personal reactions.
Q4.
A supervisor using the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM) notes that a supervisee at
Level 1 (self-focused, anxious) is making progress but still requires high structure. The
supervisor unexpectedly needs to miss two sessions. Which contingency plan best
supports the supervisee's development?
A. Cancel the sessions and reschedule with B. Assign a peer supervisor to provide
a written summary of missed content unstructured support during the absence
C. Provide a detailed agenda for D. Encourage the supervisee to use the time
self-directed work and schedule a brief to reflect independently on cases
check-in call
Correct: C - Provide a detailed agenda for self-directed work and schedule a brief check-in
call
Rationale:Level 1 supervisees need high structure and support. A detailed agenda with a
check-in call maintains structure and provides support while allowing some autonomy.
Canceling (A) may increase anxiety. Peer supervision (B) may be too unstructured.
Independent reflection (D) lacks the guidance needed at this level.
Q5.
When providing formative feedback to a supervisee who is struggling with cultural
humility, which approach aligns with best practices in multicultural supervision?
A. Focus feedback on observable behaviors B. Delay feedback until the supervisee
and invite the supervisee to share their raises the topic of culture themselves
cultural perspective
C. Provide feedback in written form only toD. Refer the supervisee to a cultural
minimize defensiveness competency workshop before discussing the
issue
Correct: A - Focus feedback on observable behaviors and invite the supervisee to share
their cultural perspective
