| Sumario: | Despite being integrated into practice over the last two decades, a recently conducted study revealed that occupational therapists in New Zealand lack clarity about the nature and purpose of supervision. This situation mirrors the divergent views of supervision as a creative process supporting professional development or an accountability mechanism that are reported in the international literature. As a result, therapists both expect supportive supervisory relationships that will engender open disclosure and reflection, and avoid being supervised and guard against disclosing concerns about their practice. The necessity of debating what the profession wants from supervision and how that might be achieved is argued. |
