An Exploratory Qualitative Investigation of Group Processes in Group Supervision: Perceptions of Masters-Level Practicum Students
Linton, Jeremy M.; Hedstrom, Suzanne M.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v31 n1 p51-72 Mar 2006
The need for continued research concerning group supervision of counselor trainees has been well-established. It has specifically been suggested that researchers investigate the role of group processes in group supervision. Accordingly, this exploratory qualitative study sought to study trainees' experiences of group processes in group supervision. Ten domains emerged during qualitative analysis. Five of these domains pertained to group processes, and four were variables that had a mediating effect on group processes. In the last domain, participants discussed ways to improve group supervision practices. Implications for group supervision practices are discussed, and several research questions for further study are offered.
