Toward a Reconstructed View of Counselor Supervision

The author proposes that the articles highlighted in the first part of this special series provide a healthy representation of the types of work that need to occur in any field moving toward reconstructed views of theory, research, and practice. The field of counselor supervision is in a recursive process of knowledge development. That is, the field is simultaneously active in several phases of knowledge advancement including theory‐exploration, theory‐testing, theory‐enhancement, and theory‐transformation. This development will assist counselor supervisors to synthesize multiple perspectives and options so that they can better meet the challenges of an increasingly pluralistic society.
