The purpose of this article is to provide supervisors with a framework to determine the effectiveness of self‐disclosure in supervision. We posit how self‐disclosures can be both memorable to the trainee and facilitative of supervision process and outcome, specifically the supervisory working alliance, trainee disclosure, and trainee edification. Case examples based on the literature and our own personal experiences are offered to illustrate the models' applicability. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol/In Session 59: 611–621, 2003.
