Book excerpt: "Clinical supervision is one of the primary means by which health service psychologists learn to provide clinical care to patients or clients (Falender & Shafranske, 2004). Clinical supervision has been conceptualized as an intervention that consists of a collaborative and evaluative relationship in which the supervisor monitors the professional services offered and serves as a gatekeeper of those who are entering the profession (Bernard & Goodyear, 2004). In the general fields of clinical and counseling psychology, supervision is one of the top five activities performed by psychologists (Peak, Nussbaum, & Tindell, 2002). During the last three decades, the importance of clinical supervision has been recognized in clinical psychology in various ways. First, in 1996, the American Psychological Association (APA) required accredited training programs to provide students and interns with training in supervision (APA, 1996). In 2004, supervision was identified as one of eight core competencies in psychology (Kaslow, 2004) and further elaborated into specific supervision competencies (Falender et al., 2004). In 2014, the APA board of educational affairs published specific Guidelines for Clinical Supervision in Health Service Psychology (APA, 2014). Supervision guidelines have also been published by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) (CPA, 2010). Despite the importance of supervision in clinical psychology, not all psychologists report receiving formal training in clinical supervision (Peak, Nussbaum, & Tindell, 2002; Schwent Shultz, Pederson, Roper, & Rey-Casserly, 2014)"--
