“…Participants in this study had a range of nondisclosures, from positive to negative, that occurred in the context of clinical supervision with videorecording review. This is in contrast to previous research where the most frequent types of nondisclosures were negative reactions to supervisors and to supervision in general, and where the least frequent types of nondisclosures were positive reactions, thoughts or feelings towards supervisors (Hess et al, 2008; Ladany et al, 1996; Mehr et al, 2010; Pisani, 2005; Stromme, 2014; Yourman & Farber, 1996). A possible explanation for this finding might be due to our examining nondisclosures in the moment across one supervision session rather than retrospectively across many supervision sessions (e.g.…”

“…Among supervisees' positive nondisclosures were feelings of being validated by the supervisor and feeling safe and comfortable. Both findings are consistent with Stromme's (2014) longitudinal study, which found nondisclosures pertaining to feeling secure, safe and calm. In the present study, nondisclosures related to validation may have occurred because supervisees thought they were not relevant or necessary to share.…”

It is possible that supervisees who reflect back on many supervision sessions may experience a negative bias and recall more negative versus positive nondisclosures.…”

“…The most frequently reported types of supervisee nondisclosures are negative reactions to supervisors and supervision, poor quality of supervision, personal issues, clinical mistakes, countertransference, evaluation concerns, worries about supervisors' perceptions of the supervisee, and differences in theoretical orientation (Hess et al, 2008; Ladany et al, 1996; Mehr et al, 2010). Nondisclosures reported less frequently include positive reactions, thoughts or feelings towards supervisors (Ladany et al, 1996; Mehr et al, 2010; Stromme, 2014).…”

The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to obtain an in‐depth understanding of supervisees' in‐the‐moment nondisclosure experiences, perceptions and internal processes as they occurred in clinical supervision involving videorecording review. The supervisees who participated in the study were students in their first year of a master's‐level counselling practicum in Western Canada. Utilising interpersonal process recall (IPR) interview methods, supervisees were asked to share their moment‐by‐moment nondisclosures that occurred during a recent videorecorded supervision session in which the supervisory dyad reviewed a videorecording of the supervisee's clinical work. Thematic analysis across cases yielded five overarching themes: (a) validation; (b) safety; (c) growth and accomplishment; (d) performance anxiety; and (e) avoidance. The findings revealed a broad range of positive and negative supervisee nondisclosures that were influenced by the supervision modality of videorecording review and the IPR interview. Implications for clinical supervision, limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The present study examined the processes of supervisees’ non-disclosure in the supervision of psychotherapy. The purpose of the study was to determine the frequency of non-disclosure by supervisees, the content of non-disclosure and the reasons for it. The study involved 50 supervisees (42 women and 8 men), with different professional developmental levels and belonging to various psychotherapeutic schools. Study participants completed the Questionnaire of Significant Aspects of Supervision after each of two consecutive supervision sessions. Half of the sessions were conducted in individual and half of the sessions in group settings. Altogether, 90 completed questionnaires were used in the study. Interviews were performed with ten of the supervisees.Data was coded according to principles of grounded theory (Corbin and Strauss, 2015). Our findings revealed that non-disclosure was present in 21% of the sessions. Supervisees conceal dissatisfaction with supervisors and their work, content related to the supervision group, information related to psychotherapeutic work, personal topics and topics related to wider professional activity. The reasons for non-disclosure were: not feeling safe enough in the supervisory relationship or the supervision group, concern for the supervisor, shame and self-criticism. These findings are significant both for the practice and for further research of supervision.

The withholding of information has a well-established history in psychotherapy. The ability to openly express one's innermost secrets was central to Freud's (1913Freud's ( /1958 psychoanalytic cure and today remains an important component of various forms of psychotherapy. Research findings into the area of withholding information have had important implications for psychotherapeutic development and practice. Similar to psychotherapy research, supervision research findings in this area are likely to have important implications for supervision training and practice. However, our understanding of non-disclosure in clinical supervision is fairly limited at this stage, in comparison with the psychotherapeutic context.Research in the last two decades suggests that supervisors withhold information from their trainees for numerous reasons. Ladany and Melincoff's (1999) study found that 98% of the supervisors withheld critical information from their trainees, citing supervisor uncertainty, concerns it would damage the supervisory relationship and concerns about the mistiming of the disclosures; that is, trainees may not have been developmentally ready to process the non-disclosures. Other reasons for supervisor non-disclosures ranged from anticipated negative reactions from the trainee and withholding information about personal issues, to doubts about their own effectiveness (Heru et al., 2006;Hoffman et al., 2005;Skjerve et al., 2009). Supervisors may also be anxious about their vulnerabilities, which may then prevent them from disclosing to trainees. It has therefore been speculated that they refrain from disclosing their countertransference, not in an attempt to protect trainees, but rather to protect themselves (Frawley-O'Dea & Sarnat, 2001). The effect of these types of non-disclosures on the supervisory process has been largely unaccounted for in supervisory research.
