Clinical Supervision plays a significant role in the support and development of clinical service providers. Additionally, clinical supervision can have direct and indirect impacts on client care. Because of this, it is crucial to understand the effects of both good and problematic supervision practices. The impact of both supervision practices will be discussed, along with the effects of the parallel process and emotion regulation on supervisees and client services.
