This digest discusses the use of peer consultation as a form of counselor supervision, proposing that peer supervision and consultation may be potentially effective approaches to increasing the frequency and/or quality of supervision available to a counselor. Peer consultation is defined as an arrangement in which peers work together for mutual benefit and is further seen as a process in which critical and supportive feedback is emphasized while evaluation is deemphasized. A number of benefits to counselors offered by peer consultation experiences are listed. Peer supervision and consultation models are briefly reviewed, including the Structured Peer Consultation Model. Research on peer consultation is also reviewed. The digest concludes that research is providing accumulating support for the value of peer consultation/supervision experiences for professional counselors. Future researchers are called upon to continue to attempt to identify and quantify the unique contributions of this type of experience for counselor development. Contains 9 references. (NB)
