Abstract

Collaboration is often cited as an important component of effective clinical supervision. Despite its frequent mention, the collaboration construct has often been poorly defined or confounded with other constructs. The present study sought to replicate and extend the work of Rousmaniere and Ellis (2013) on collaborative clinical supervision (CS) by evaluating the psychometric properties of a measure of collaborative supervision, the Collaborative Supervisor Behavior Scale (CSBS), and assessing its relation with the supervisory working alliance. The factorial structure and measurement invariance of the CSBS were evaluated. Concurrent validity of the CSBS scores was assessed by exploring relations with measures of the supervisory working alliance, role conflict, role ambiguity, and satisfaction with supervision. It was hypothesized that CS would be moderately and directly related to supervisory working alliance and satisfaction with supervision scores, and inversely related to both role conflict and role ambiguity scores.
