Integrating Adierian and Integrated Developmental Model Approaches to Supervision of Counseling Trainees Jennifer N. Bornsheuer-Boswell, Monica M. Polonyi, and Richard E. Watts Abstract Following an appropriate personal and professional model of supervision is an in- tegral part of conducting ethical and effective supervision. A model of supervision helps guide a supervisor in facilitating growth of the counseling trainee, teaching counseling skills, and evaluating the trainee's growth professionally. The authors describe an integration of the Adierian model of supervision with the integrated Developmental Model of supervision along with a description of each model and two case examples. The information includes an overview for supervisors following these models of supervision along with examples in which the authors illustrate how these models can be used together to facilitate greater professional growth of the trainee. Keywords: Individual Psychology, Integrated Developmental Model, supervision Supervision is an integral part of the counseling profession. It helps novice counselors refine their skills, conceptualize clients' processes, and effectively care for their clients. Supervisors need to be able to integrate their own theoretical orientation to counseling and that of their trainees with a model of supervision. In this article we address the use of the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM; Stoltenberg, McNeill, & Delworth, 1998) and Adierian therapy techniques in counseling supervision. IDM's framework consists of four developmental stages that expand across three developmen- tal structures. The precepts of these levels and structures will be discussed. Likewise, Adierian theory, also known as Individual Psychology, is a holistic, systemic, and goal-oriented perspective for helping people (Carlson, Watts, & Maniacci, 2006). Developed by Alfred Adler in the first half of the 20th century, it remains a viable theory and therapeutic approach whose con- cepts continue to permeate many current theoretical approaches (Carlson et al., 2006). Techniques used in Adierian counseling are also used by supervisors in helping counseling trainees develop the needed skills to be effective counselors. We examine these two models in relationship to the goals of supervision, the procedures used in supervision, and the methods The Journal of Individual Psychoiogy, Vol. 69, No. 4, Winter 2013 ©2013 by the University ofTexas Press Editorial office iocated in the Coiiege of Education at Georgia State University.
