Supervision is an essential element in developing well-trained and competent psychologists. The present study identifies strengths and weaknesses in supervisor characteristics that contribute to the supervisee's clinical training experience and professional development. Data gathered from doctoral psychology students indicate that supervisees rated their supervisors as having the following strengths: above-average intelligence, a positive attitude toward themselves, ethical integrity, and strong listening skills. Data from this study indicate the following areas may have room for improvement for clinical supervisors: awareness of countertransference in supervision, the ability to stay focused, the ability to meet time constraints, commitment to the supervisory alliance, and an ability to challenge the supervisee effectively. In summary, 68% of the participants rate their supervisor as outstanding, 5% rate their supervisor as acceptable, and 12% rate their supervisor as poor.

Objective(s): To clarify any etiological or symptomatic relationship between asthma and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Study Design: A systematic review of the literature was conducted through Medline. Results: We found little evidence of an over- representation of ADHD, academic, or behavioral problems in asthmatic children or of asthma among children with ADHD. We also failed to find convincing evidence that the standard treatment of asthma causes ADHD-like symptoms or academic decline in asthmatic children. Conclusion: These findings indicate that asthmatic children with school or behavioral problems may also suffer from ADHD and require treatment for both disorders.
