In my view there is curiously little evidence, but much emotional rhetoric, supporting the value or clarifying the purposes of supervision. Even Roth and Fonagy (1996) resort to purely rhetorical support for supervision in their otherwise evidence‐obsessed study. Supervision, I submit, is highly problematic terrain. And any consideration of the problems of supervision implicitly reminds us of the problems simmering throughout the entire counselling and psychotherapy enterprise (Feltham, 2000, p. 21).
