Abstract

ABSTRACT: Implementation science is at the nexus of research and practice, and studies ways to promote the use of research findings in service settings. Clinical supervision has a rich theoretical literature for workplace support, and has also been used to ensure internal validity for "evidence based" interventions during efficacy trials. Calls to leverage supervision as an implementation strategy have prompted a focus on clinical supervision in implementation science. Articles included in this special issue address how supervision "typically" operates and how it might "optimally" promote implementation. A range of methodologies, client populations, settings, and mental health problem foci are included.
