Nondisclosures in supervision were studied for 108 supervisees. Supervisees reported an average of 8.06 nondisclosures ranging in importance level. Negative reactions to the supervisor were the most frequent type of nondisclosure. The most frequent reasons for nondisclosures were perceived unimportance, that the nondisclosure was too personal, negative feelings, and a poor alliance. The manner of nondisclosure was usually passive. Most nondisclosures were discussed with someone else, typically a peer. Supervisor style was related to content of and reasons for nondisclosure. Supervisees were less satisfied when they reported more negative reactions to supervisors and when they did not disclose because of poor alliances, supervisor incompetence, and fear of political suicide. Thus, nondisclosure affects the process of supervision. Further research is needed on how nondisclosures in supervision affect supervision and therapy processes.An implicit assumption in most psychotherapy supervision models is that for the supervisor to facilitate the development of therapeutic competence in the supervisee, the supervisee must disclose descriptive information about the client, the therapeutic interaction, the supervisory interaction, and personal information about himself or herself (

Differences were found between the two journals. JCP published mostly process, outcome, and analogue research, whereas JCCP published mostly outcome research. Most process and process-outcome studies across journals were of individual, brief therapy. Across the years, more diversity was evident in samples used in process research in terms of student status, gender, and race of clients and therapists. Three content areas were prominent in the process measures and classic studies: therapist techniques, therapist influence, and facilitative conditions. Lists are provided of the frequently used measures, most productive authors, and classic studies in process research.
