therapist and the quality of the client-therapist relationship are the prime
determinants of the outcomes of therapy”  to supervision. In the systems approach to supervision, the heart of supervision
is the relationship between supervisor and supervisee, which is mutually involving
and aimed at bestowing power to both members.  Supervision in any
particular instance is seen to be reflective of a unique combination of the functions of supervision, the tasks of
supervision, the client, the trainee, the supervisor, and the institution.
