Supervisor and intern perspectives on supervision Original Research Article

This article explores the process of supervision by presenting a complex case from both the intern and the supervisorʹs point of view. The primary supervisor describes the clues that led her to advise the intern to explore an alternate diagnosis and how she addressed the problems of contradictory advice. A secondary supervisor describes her interim supervision with the intern. Finally, the intern describes her perception of the case, how it altered during the course of treatment, and how she resolved the issues of contradictory advice regarding the treatment. At the conclusion of the article, suggestions are made to increase the effectiveness of supervision in todayʹs multidisciplinary settings.
