“…Only clinical psychologists with experience as supervisor were included in this study. For more details on selection and sampling procedures, see Jacobsen, Nielsen, and Orlinsky (2012 The standard version of DPCCQ consists of almost 400 variables, categorized into 11 sections, e.g. personal data, profession, therapeutic experience, career development, theoretical orientation, current development and practice (Orlinsky & Rønnestad, 2005).…”

The debut as a clinical supervisor is still rather unknown. The aim of this study is to explore what kind of tasks novice supervisors undertake and how they are prepared for these. During 2009During -2010 Danish clinical psychologists have responded to the Development of Psychotherapists Common Core Questionnaire covering a wide range of items on professional development, experience and practice. In this paper, we focus on background data (experience, training and practice), specifically the tasks and training of the respondents as novice supervisors. The results show that a majority of novice supervisors were confronted with complicated tasks, e.g. group, internal and interdisciplinary supervision, but were not prepared, i.e. trained, prior to these tasks. These findings imply that more training is needed for novice supervisors. Preferably, this training should be introduced before, or at least parallel to, the first supervisor tasks, preparing the novice supervisors for the often complicated tasks they are meeting.

“…These presentation issues are directly consistent with findings presented over many studies around the world on issues that clients present. In specialist practices there will be some differences but the general trends are consistent (see for example: Cook et al, 2008;Hohenshil et al, 2015;Jacobsen et al, 2012). Sibbald et al (1996) in a slightly different emphasis in a different decade identified stress/anxiety as the most common issue referred to counsellors; followed by relationships, depression, bereavement and sexual abuse.…”

“…Jacobsen et al (2012) though indicating CBT was highly ranked (as indicated above), also indicated that the Danish psychologists equally or nearly equally emphasised analytic/psychoanalytic orientations. That is that there had been a move to a more cognitive behavioural approach over the decade or more since the earlier studies conducted in the 1990s.…”

“…CBT has been identified as the most commonly endorsed psychotherapeutic approach in many countries across the world: it is the leading therapeutic approach or one of the leading approaches cited in the US (e.g., Cook et al, 2010), UK (e.g., Hollanders & McLeod, 1999), Denmark (e.g., Jacobsen et al, 2012), Turkey (Demir & Gazioglu, 2012), and Malaysia (Mohamad & Rahman, 2011)-but not in Argentina where again the psychodynamic approach predominated (Muller, 2008). Jacobsen et al (2012) though indicating CBT was highly ranked (as indicated above), also indicated that the Danish psychologists equally or nearly equally emphasised analytic/psychoanalytic orientations.…”

“…Sibald et al (1996) identified that patients or clients were most commonly referred for depression, stress/anxiety, relationship issues, and bereavement. Jacobsen, Nielsen, and Orlinsky (2012) using data from 158 Danish psychologists in 1995, identified that in the main in the 1990s the psychologists were using psychoanalytic-dynamic orientations rather more often than humanistic, systemic, cognitive and behavioural approaches. By the year 2010, however, Jacobsen et al (2012) after carrying out their study using data from 350 psychotherapists in 2010, reported a shift towards cognitive approaches, with both cognitive theoretical approaches and analytical-psychodynamic approaches being commonly used in practice.…”

Counsellors and psychologists worldwide use different theoretical approaches at least sometimes in conjunction. The theoretical orientation of Australian practising psychologists and psychotherapists appears to be following an international trend that emphasises eclectic or integrative use of the orientations. The aim of the current study of 24 experienced counsellors and psychotherapists in Australia was to identify dominant theoretical orientations used in assisting clients and to compare these orientations with the trend towards integration of theories in practice. We were also interested in which of the major theories were most used in practice by these professionals and what strategies or skills they considered most important. Twenty-four counsellors and psychotherapists thus responded to a series of online survey questions about their personal approaches, resources and practices. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was the most common of all therapies cited, but person-centred approaches were also popular. However, 21 of the 24 psychotherapists adopted an eclectic or integrative approach (using three or more approaches in their practice). This current finding is consistent with some earlier Australian research, though the eclectic trend may be strengthening. This study also provides insight into the key strategies that the 24 psychotherapists indicate as making a difference for clients, and outlines main reasons why they joined the profession.
