The critical events model of supervision is a transtheoretical approach that explores the interrelationship between supervision process and outcome, and therapy process and outcome. This model addresses issues common to all supervisory relationships such as ambiguity about roles, misunderstandings related to cultural background and gender, skill deficits, and countertransference. In addition to addressing these issues, the model also fosters a constructive environment so that elements of a fruitful supervisory session - such as developing the working alliance, self-disclosures, and multicultural and ethics training - can commence. In this program, Nicholas Ladany and his supervisee engage in a supervisory session, and host Hanna Levenson interviews them about their work together, exploring the constructs of this model as they discuss highlights from the demonstration session.
