66 3. METHODS We used Scala IOS to measure insight. To determine if there are differences between the insight and insight dimensions of the IOS scale in the training group and the supervision group, we used the Supervision Pyramid and the IOS Critical Incident Model of Ladany et al. as supervision and insight development tools, tools applied only to subjects in the supervision group. Thus, if we register significant differences in the insight dimensions of the IOS scale in the supervision group, then the Supervision Pyramid and the Supervision Worksheets can be considered as means/tools to develop and practice insight during supervision and not only 3.1. STUDY ASSUMPTIONS The hypotheses of the study are: 1. Trainees in supervision will have a higher level of Awareness than those in training. 2. Trainees in supervision will have a higher level of problem solving than those in training. 3. Trainees in supervision will have a higher level of restructuring (Behavioural Change) as opposed to those in training. 4. Trainees in the supervision group have a higher level of self- reflectiveness than those in training. 3.2. PARTICIPANTS In our study we included students in the Integrative Psychotherapy orientation training program at a psychotherapy training institute. Training at the institute lasts three years. Students who agreed to be part of the study participated in the study. Supervising therapists were also included in the study. The supervision period lasts, as mentioned, at least two years and supervised therapists who gave their consent to participate in the study participated in the study. The IOS scale [11] was applied to 45 trainees in the integrative psychotherapy orientation training program and 45 supervised therapists 9from the first and second year of supervision). The average age of the whole sample is 41.1 years. In the supervision group, the average working time per week with clients in the office is 13.53 h. We also wanted to see how many hours per week the supervising psychotherapists spend on study and further training, and the average is 7.51 h. Regarding the gender of the participants, 90% female and 10% male.
