Narratives of harmful clinical supervision: Synthesis and recommendations

Scarce information exists that considers supervisees’ experiences of harmful supervision despite research that indicates occurrences at startling rates (e.g., Ellis, Creaner, Hutman, & Timulak, 2015). This Special Issue attempts to serve as a starting point for stimulating conversation, action, and change around harmful supervision practices across disciplines and internationally. Specifically, in this article we aim to synthesize the introductory, narrative, and reaction articles (Ammirati & Kaslow, 2017; Beddoe, 2017; Ellis, 2017; Ellis, Taylor, Corp, Hutman, & Kangos, 2017; Reiser & Milne, 2017). In addition, we offer implications and recommendations to minimize the occurrence of and redress harmful supervision.
