23 years, the trainees being assured that they can address the supervisor from the position of an Adult Self State. 3.1.2. Establishment of a feedback in supervision. An analysis of the centre, capital and west side of the country areas For the component Feedback, χ2 = 6,698, for a statistical significance threshold of p ≤ 0,05 (p = 0,035), the descending order of average rates is: the country centre (Hunedoara and Deva), Capital (Bucharest) and Banat (Timisoara and Resita). Feedback was the easiest component to accept by peers in the centre of the country (Hunedoara and Deva), even if the group in Hunedoara registered the largest drop out. Supervisees, who have decided to continue, have also assumed their feedback. Another explanation would be that most of them were already working in the clinical field as clinical psychologists before starting training in psychotherapy, already possessing skills in clinical psychology, some of which also having functional private practices. The need of a feedback refers to receiving something concrete, an answer to questions like “I did this... did I do it right?” or “what else could I have done?” Also, some of the trainees were medical high school graduates and had been working in hospitals and clinics for over 10 years, being already familiar with medical diagnostics, drug treatment, thus they were not “dissatisfied" about the feedback. But there is the possibility that everyone has perceived the supervisor’s positive and negative statements in a balanced manner. It does not mean that there were no discussions, yet divergences were analyzed, misunderstandings were assumed and overcome. In a descending order of averages obtained for the feedback component, Bucharest (Bucharest) comes next. For them, it was more important to set goals, objectives, feedback from the supervisor being second. Most of supervisees opened their private offices some time after their entry into the supervision, an impediment being the national problems at the level of the Romanian Psychologists’ College. Their entry into supervision was concise with the College problems, with the college stopping its activity for almost a year. The interest in obtaining feedback from the supervisor is also explained by the diminution of uncertainty and anxiety, most of them carry out activities in peers’ offices, which have been able to obtain proper authorisation to practice their profession before problems appeared at national level. On the last “place” regarding the feedback component, the west of the country (Timisoara and Resita) is situated. Supervisees and independent psychotherapists from this area have opened their offices before problems
