This study aimed to explore clinical supervisors’ perspectives on the components of the relationship competency. The constituents of relational competence have been articulated by expert committees, and the present study sought to add to this literature through understanding these competencies from Australian field supervisors’ perspectives. In the present study, supervisors were asked to provide relational competence definitions and specific behavioral markers they use in assessing supervisee competence within their supervision practice. They were then asked to describe the developmental trajectory of relational competence among their supervisees, ranging from novice to intermediate and expert stages. Similarities and notable differences between previous expert panels and the current sample were observed in comparing data on the development of relational competence. A unique aspect of this study is that compared with previous expert panels, the current sample greatly emphasized the ability to understand relational data in the moment and to speak directly about the therapeutic relationship with the client. The results of this study offer useful, in-depth descriptions of supervisee progress in the development of relational competence. Consideration of competence markers within a sequential trajectory offers a useful map for the ongoing development and evaluation of these abilities.

主管对关系能力的看法：核心组成部分和发展考虑。

本研究旨在探讨临床主管对关系能力组成部分的看法。专家委员会已经阐明了关系能力的组成部分，本研究试图通过从澳大利亚现场监督员的角度理解这些能力来补充这些文献。在本研究中，监管者被要求提供相关能力定义和他们在监管实践中评估被监管者能力时使用的具体行为标记。然后，他们被要求描述被监督者之间关系能力的发展轨迹，从新手到中级和专家阶段。在比较关系能力发展的数据时，观察到以前的专家小组和当前样本之间的相似之处和显着差异。这项研究的一个独特之处在于，与之前的专家小组相比，当前的样本极大地强调了当下理解相关数据的能力，以及直接谈论与来访者的治疗关系的能力。这项研究的结果提供了有用的、深入的描述，说明了受监管者在发展关系能力方面的进展。考虑连续轨迹内的能力标记为这些能力的持续发展和评估提供了有用的地图。当前样本极大地强调了在当下理解关系数据和直接谈论与来访者的治疗关系的能力。这项研究的结果提供了有用的、深入的描述，说明了受监管者在发展关系能力方面的进展。考虑连续轨迹内的能力标记为这些能力的持续发展和评估提供了有用的地图。当前样本极大地强调了在当下理解关系数据和直接谈论与来访者的治疗关系的能力。这项研究的结果提供了有用的、深入的描述，说明了受监管者在发展关系能力方面的进展。考虑连续轨迹内的能力标记为这些能力的持续发展和评估提供了有用的地图。
