Affi rmative supervision is an important aspect in all supervisory relationships that encompasses the broad spectrum of individual and cultural diversities and should be present in all interactions with a supervisee; however, for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) persons, that may not always be the case.Historically those approaches to psychology and therapeutic practice that have pathologised homosexuality have brought the same constrictions to supervision. In supervision literature homosexuality and bisexuality appeared only as evidence of the client's pathology and were treated as such. In most cases there was no question of the supervisor being lesbian, gay or bisexual because these were barred from training in many training institutions (O'Connor & Ryan 1993;Ellis 1994), and even if they did train they found diffi culty in advancement. (Pett, 2000, p. 54) Affi rmative supervision is an atheoretical framework that is intended to augment and to be used consistently with the supervisor's existing AFFIRMATIVE CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Anger is a common affective experience, yet it is relatively understudied in the substance use treatment literature. This study explored anger as a predictor of treatment outcomes in a large sample of adolescents. Data were extracted from the Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study for Adolescents (DATOS-A). An anger profile was created based on adolescents’ pre-treatment responses to four items assessing history of temper outbursts and aggression. Individuals were classified as High Anger (n = 506) and Normal/Low Anger (n = 2,326) based on their pattern of responses to these items. High Anger at baseline was associated with several poor outcomes at the 12-month follow-up point, including a greater likelihood of experiencing delirium tremens, relapsing on drugs due to alcohol use, having difficulty controlling temper and behavior, and being arrested for attacks on persons.
