The Influence of Clinical Supervision of Therapists in the Therapeutic Alliance Between Patient and Therapist

I entered into the field of Social Work believing I will learn to incorporate my supervisors’ teachings while exploring my own philosophy and style. But I quickly learned that the outcome of successful treatment between the patients I was treating and myself as their therapist was influenced heavily by what my supervisors were teaching me from their subjective perspectives. Supervisors throughout the years have attempted to manipulate my own philosophy and style to their way of thinking. If I dared asked questions about how they thought or felt about their insight and experiences, there would have been consequences for me. I asked them to please guide me in compartmentalizing my emotions stemming from certain cases. Then too I was notified of potential consequences. Overall, supervisors were teaching me about their personal beliefs in professional alliances between myself and the people I was providing services for. And when each time I wanted to learn from all of my supervisors how to think independently as well as tap into their treasure trove of knowledge and expertise, I received career development roadblocks in my supervisions with them. I realized if I wanted to succeed in my career and not suffer consequences in the form of losing jobs, I had to learn how to keep my mouth shut. I learned immediately then and there on asking only those questions that I knew my supervisors wanted me to ask. I listened and followed their guide meticulously. The potential for consequences were eliminated, my jobs remained consistent, and my potential grew exponentially.
