Abstract

ABSTRACT: Counselor supervision in vocational rehabilitation settings includes a diverse range of practices that are commonly differentiated into clinical and administrative roles. Yet currently, there is no comprehensive measure of these dual roles for research or field applications. The current study describes the development and initial validation of an instrument measuring the frequency of clinical versus administrative supervision practices using a sample of practicing rehabilitation counselors ( n = 324). The resulting Clinical Versus Administrative Supervision scale (CVAS) shows evidence of differentiation between subscale factors, high reliability, and convergent validity with measures of the supervisory working alliance and satisfaction with supervision.
