Triadic Supervision and Its Impact on the Role of the Supervisor: A Qualitative Examination of Supervisors' Perspectives
Hein, Serge; Lawson, Gerard
Counselor Education and Supervision, v48 n1 p16-31 Sep 2008
Although triadic supervision has been the subject of little empirical research, perspectives of supervisors in this form of supervision have received even less attention. This qualitative study examined 6 doctoral student supervisors' experiences of triadic supervision and the demands it placed on them in their role as supervisors. Data collection involved use of in-depth, open-ended interviews, and a whole-text analysis resulted in 2 major categories. These categories address various ways in which triadic supervision increases or decreases the demands placed on the supervisor. Implications of the findings for supervisory practices and future research are also addressed.
