29 • The establishment of objectives component placed in descending order the geographic areas studied as follows: Capital (Bucharest), the centre of the country (Hunedoara and Deva) and the west of the country (Timisoara and Resita); • Feedback provided the following decreasing order of averages by geographic areas: the centre of the country (Hunedoara and Deva), Capital (Bucharest) and the west of the country (Timisoara and Resita). In explaining the results obtained, the following were taken into consideration: the changes and conflicts at the level of the College of Psychologists in Romania, the expanding market of training programs, the anxieties and dissatisfaction of trainees, and other differences between supervisee, in the expression of the training and supervision needs, as well as in the evaluation of supervision. Even if supervisees and independent therapists operate in different areas, even in disadvantaged areas, the people’s need for therapy is present. Supervised therapists require feedback during supervision sessions (how to do, how to become more productive in working with customers). The presence of the supervisor in the vicinity of the supervisee or of the independent therapist confers security, stability and the opportunity to participate in the activities organized by the supervisor (workshops, open sessions, open courses, etc.), unlike the therapists hundreds of kilometres away. The supervisor’s role is to stimulate, even in remote centres, the continuous professional training activity under the guidance, coordination of the assistant trainers, so that all these psychotherapeutic training centres within the association could carry out personal development activities. According to the second hypothesis of the study, which was partly confirmed, the supervisor’s style is perceived by supervisees and independent therapists from the three training centres in a similar way. Thus, the counsellor style receives the first place, followed by the consultant style and then by the professor. There were no statistically significant differences when comparing the three geographical areas of the three training centres. Thus, the counsellor supervision style prevails regardless of the training centre (Capital, Transylvania, and Banat). However, both supervisees and independent therapists have their own cognitive style, they have a psychological type, and the supervisor is the one who needs to improve her supervision style to become better and to support the supervisees’ professional development. In this sense, different abilities can be processed by the supervisor, given her personality style. For the supervisor, from the personal perspective, the activity at the university, compensated with the activity at the private practice, did not allow the underlining of the professor role in supervision. However, by applying the Supervisory Styles Inventory, the counsellor style is brought to the forefront (as it resulted from the evaluation
