Abstract

The effectiveness of clinical supervision depends in part on psychotherapy supervisees’ disclosures of clinically relevant information to their supervisors. Unfortunately, however, previous research indicated that supervisees tend to withhold important information related to their clients’ progress and their reactions to the supervisor. Factors associated with the occurrence of supervisee nondisclosure (SND) are not well established, and past research has yielded varying outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the inverse relation of three variables to SND: the supervisory working alliance (SWA; Bordin, 1983), collaborative supervision (CS; Rousmaniere & Ellis, 2013), and relational behaviors in supervision (RB; Shaffer & Friedlander, 2017), each of which has been shown to be an important aspect of the supervision process.
