  • Problematic self-efficacy inferences in beginning psychotherapy supervisees [Elektronski vir] : identifcation and management
    Watkins, C. Edward, Jr. ...
    We contend that a particular form of self-efcacy beliefs — specifcally referred to as relation-inferred self-efcacy beliefs — often gets activated in beginning supervisees, can potentially pose ... supervision problems from the outset and, consequently, is best addressed by supervisors early on. Relation-inferred self-efcacy beliefs refer to what supervisees think or infer that their supervisor is thinking about their therapeutic efcacy; because beginning supervisees often have doubts about their own therapeutic efcacy, they can make incorrect inferences about what their supervisor is thinking of them, and supervision can be accordingly afected. In this brief report, relation-inferred self-efcacy beliefs are elaborated upon, their signifcance for the trajectory of beginning supervisee development is considered, and some supervisor actions that can aid in alleviating the impact of those beliefs on beginning supervisees are identifed. We view it as important that supervisors (a) hold supervisee problematic relation-inferred self-efcacy beliefs in mind as a likely supervision reality, (b) strive to proactively address their possible emergence through supervisee education at supervision’s onset and through including the topic in the body of the supervision agreement, (c) be sensitive to cues that may indicate the emergence of such problematic inferred beliefs during the course of supervision, (d) sensitively inquire about those cues and, if confrmed, be open to discussing their implications with beginning supervisees, (e) fully carry out discussion about those beliefs so as to allay supervisees’ inference concerns, and (f) because addressing those problematic beliefs is not a one-and-done afair, be ready to re-address them as need arises.
