| Summary: | Supervision is vital to all human services professions to help new professionals assimilate to their
roles. There are many theory based supervisory methods to guide supervisors, and counseling
professionals have suggested that the adoption of a developmental model of supervision prepares
the supervisor to partner with supervisees to facilitate feedback related to developmental
milestones. This paper explores the dynamics of combining the Integrated Developmental Model
(IDM) of supervision with counseling theories that influence supervision styles and offers
examples of how IDM is flexible in combining with theoretical approaches by providing examples
and information related to its integration with solution-focused supervision and person-centered
supervision. Included is a vignette to help bridge the concept from theory to practice, information
on roles for the supervisor and supervisee, and cultural considerations to aid supervisors in
practical implementation of the supervision strategies.
