What aspect of supervision does the blended model emphasize?

The blended model of supervision emphasizes a balance of therapeutic and supervisory practices. This approach recognizes the importance of integrating various methodologies to support the development of supervisees. By combining therapeutic elements, which may include techniques that foster personal growth and emotional insight, with supervisory frameworks that ensure accountability and skill development, the blended model provides a well-rounded experience for those being supervised.

This balance allows supervisors to address both the technical skills needed in practice as well as the emotional and relational aspects of the supervisory relationship. Such integration is crucial for fostering client-centered care, where the supervisee is equipped not only with knowledge and skills but also with the ability to reflect on their practices and the impact they have on clients. Emphasizing this balance ultimately leads to more effective supervision and better outcomes for both supervisees and the clients they serve.
