CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

 

BACKGROUND

Imagine how practitioners would work effectively with children without adopting to the concepts and foundations of counseling supervision, maybe mental health services lacks prior knowledge and skills needed for every needed application and that without supervising the process of counseling, no one could really prove any important approaches and techniques needed in various cases relating to the attitudes and behaviors shown by the children. Thus, it is a must for the practitioners to know and follow norms and standards when it comes to providing the adequate counseling supervision for children with emotional as well as behavior problems since, it is recommended that those who practice counseling applicable to the needs of children should be aware on some important counseling principles before taking any actions that might cause such possible failure in the end.   Counseling supervision is needed in any important process situation involving and catering to the needs of the children and that the presence of a better practitioner is important in counseling supervision as one of the ways practitioners working with children is by understanding “interpersonal characteristics” that both parties bring to the relationship. It is said that counseling focuses on emotion and emotional process involved in the training of doctoral and masters students would do well to address gender role issues”. Supervision is “an intensive, interpersonally focused, one-to-one relationship in which one person is designated to facilitate the development of therapeutic competence in the other person”. Investigating the impact within the realm of supervision also affords a unique opportunity to assess the role of potential practitioners.
