RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF SUPERVISION coaching can be. This is a parallel development to the research in psychotherapy before. There the first findings also tried to prove the impact and positive outcome of psychotherapy. In the Anglo-American supervision research we mainly find discussions about the effects of “clinical supervision” which in these cases means the training supervision of psychotherapists and clinical counsellors in their professional training’. In other European countries supervision is seen as a counselling process of people working with clients and patients or persons holding management positions or are leading employees. We already have findings about good supervisors and good supervision processes?: Good supervisors are multi partially, can provide trust and safety and obtain a friendly, open relation to their supervisees. They provide structure in the supervision process and can deal with transference-dynamics and conflicts. They have a certain degree of competence and professional expertise in the field they provide supervision in. They are orientated towards resources, not deficiencies. They can provide different methods of dealing with the topics that arise in supervision, create metaphors fitting to the social world of the supervisees and have a good sense of humour. Such good and successful supervision can improve the cooperation among the team of supervisees and increase the self-regulation of single supervisees. It enhances the professional competence and provides support and relief in daily hassles. Good supervision can modify the sight and the way of thinking of the supervisees”®. A common division of the variables which influence the supervision process is the partitioning into variables of structure like setting, personality and methods of the supervisor, field of supervision etc. and the variables of the process as the quality of the professional supervision relationship, the communication or the timeline". Unfortunately there is currently no survey on the complete findings concerning the different variables and effects of supervision. 8 Bernhard Strauß — Sue Wheeler — Steffi Nodop, Klinische Supervision.
