This study argues that there is some evidence that occupational therapy as a profession may have adopted supervision without adequate attention to the costs involved in the process, in terms of training, time, commitment and emotional consequences. This article describes possible steps that can be adopted by both supervisors and supervisees to facilitate the development of a more productive relationship within supervision. These include, the use of training, exposure to theories and models of supervision, and the use of agendas, contracts and feedback. Supervisor and supervisee recommendations are discussed within the wider framework of professional, cultural and organizational implications.
