Abstract

ABSTRACT: Cognitive development is a key area for supervisor emphasis, as supervisees with higher levels of cognitive complexity are able to formulate a thorough, balanced, multicultural understanding of their clients. Yet, there are few supervisory interventions that are designed to facilitate cognitive growth. Herein, we offer one such supervisory intervention using the Counselor Cognitions Questionnaire (CCQ). The CCQ is a specific yet repeatable intervention that captures an efficient snapshot of supervisee cognitions, triggers supervisee self-reflection, and offers supervisors relevant fodder for catalyzing supervisee cognitive growth.
