In Search of Best Practice: A Review of Triadic Supervision Literature

Although triadic supervision is an accepted and popular supervision format in CACREP-accredited counselor education programs, relatively little is known about effectively facilitating supervision that involves two supervisees meeting with a single supervisor concurrently. This article draws attention to the benefits and challenges of triadic supervision as experienced by both supervisees and the supervisor. A summary of the current literature is presented followed by implications for best practice of triadic supervision extracted from existing research.
