Aims & Scope

The Clinical Supervisor (TCS) is the only international journal devoted exclusively to the art and science of clinical supervision - the “signature pedagogy” of mental health and related professions.

A multi-disciplinary, refereed publication, the journal is a unique resource for supervision researchers, practitioners, and educators working across a range of disciplines, including counseling, substance abuse, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, communication science disorders, psychiatric nursing and other health sciences, occupational therapy, genetic counseling, art and music therapies, child welfare, medical education, and other fields in which clinical supervision is central to the education of effective practitioners (even when a different term/label is used for the supervision process).

Key issues of interest to both researchers and practitioners include: • Supervision skills and interventions, models, modalities (e.g., group, peer, triadic); • Relationship dynamics, cultural responsiveness, and legal and ethical dilemmas, as well as topics specific to settings (e.g., inpatient care, college counseling centers), clients (e.g., children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families) and clinical foci (e.g., trauma-informed care, integrated care); • Developmental challenges of new supervisors (doctoral students, advanced practitioners) (e.g., providing constructive feedback, supervision of supervision, pedagogical foundations) and their supervisees; • Unique training needs of supervision practitioners (e.g., those in mental health and child welfare agencies, medical settings).
