“…Critical feedback . Participants in McKibben and Webber’s () experimental group responded to the following prompt:

Take a moment to think about feedback you have received this semester from your current supervisor. In the space below, list 1–2 times that your supervisor criticized your work or gave you feedback about your counseling performance that needed to change.…”

“…The S‐SRQ (Cliffe, Beinart, & Cooper, ) measures supervisees’ perceptions of the supervisory relationship across three subscales: Safe Base, Reflective Education, and Structure. Previous researchers have also used a total scale score as a global measure of the supervisory relationship (McKibben & Webber, [α = .93]; McKibben, Cook, & Fickling, [α = .91]), finding good internal consistency reliability. Items are scored on a Likert scale from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 7 ( strongly agree ), with higher scores reflecting a more positive perception of the supervisory relationship.…”

“…McKibben and Webber’s () study raised important questions about supervisee openness and responsiveness to constructive feedback, particularly from an attachment perspective. McKibben and Webber commented on the possibility that receiving feedback deemed critical may elicit a variety of reactions from supervisees, even if such reactions do not elicit an attachment response.…”

Supervision is an essential part of the training and work environment of health professionals, especially of psychotherapists and clinical/health psychologists. However, although the supervisory process is always a relational one and may therefore be influenced by attachment dynamics, the importance of the supervisory relationship for the professional's performance and the well‐being of the supervisee has yet to be fully examined. In this cross‐sectional observational study, the Experiences in Close Relationships‐Revised (ECR‐RD; avoidant and anxious attachment), the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire (SRQ), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC‐13) were analysed for 346 (81.8% female) health professionals. Considering professional experience and number of supervision sessions as control variables, a better supervisory relationship negatively predicted burnout symptoms (β = −.31) but positively predicted sense of coherence (β = .31, both p < .01). The final model, including avoidant and anxious attachment as additional predictors, explained 30% of the variance in burnout symptoms and 41% of the variance in sense of coherence. The results underline the importance of the supervisory relationship for the well‐being and the professional performance of health professionals. Interactions between the supervisory relationship and underlying attachment parameters should be further explored in future studies.
