Abstract
Counseling Supervision is an interpersonal communication and influence process. Although the role and function of the supervisor are different from those of a counselor, the supervisory skills and attitude are similar to the ones needed in counseling. This study explored how the perception -- an important factor in counseling -- will affect the supervisory process. There were 9 supervision interviews conducted by six pairs of matched supervisors-supervisees. Using videotapes of these interviews stimulated supervisors and supervisees individually, recalled their thoughts and reactions during the supervision process. By analyzing qualitative data, we concluded the following: 1.The differences between the supervisor's and the supervisee's perceptions of supervisor intention are more than the perceptions of supervisory strategies. But we couldn't find a pattern of the relation between the supervisor's intention, and the supervisory perceptions. 2.Both the supervisor's and the supervisee's experiences were positive. 3.The factor that make the supervisors'perceptions different from the supervisee'were: The expectation of supervision, the role of the supervisors, supervisory intention, and the supervisors'experience.
