International Journal of Supervision in Psychotherapy, Number 7, 2025 Page | 11 Contextual Supervision Relationship Model (CSRM) was developed. That first version did incorporate those particular changes in adaptive explanation, actions, and outcomes as well as make other modifications to render the model supervision specific. The four critical constructs of the common factors/trans-theoretical supervision model were: the supervisory working alliance (bond, goals, and tasks), the supervisory real relationship, supervision expectations, and the supervisee’s facilitative educational actions. Soon thereafter, I (CEW) contacted Bruce Wampold to get his feedback on the model and, if indeed the model looked presentable to him, to also ask if he might be willing to serve as a co-author on a presentation of the supervision model at the upcoming American Psychological Association’s (APA) annual convention. Wampold agreed to serve as a co-author (along with Stephanie Budge), with that first CSRM presentation being given at the 2015 APA meeting in Toronto, Canada. Figure 1 presents that very first presented version of the model [32]. As can be seen there, the four key CSRM constructs of the supervisory alliance, supervisory real relationship, supervision expectations, and supervisee facilitative actions are on full display. This model, while perhaps having relevance across the full spectrum of supervisee developmental levels, took as its primary focus the learning process of beginning or relatively new supervisees; therefore, early therapist development was emphasized.

Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, Toronto, Canada. 3.2 REFINEMENT, REVISION, DETAILS, and ELABORATION After that first 2015 presentation [32], and further reflections on how to render the model more supervision precise, several CSRM modifications were made, and an updated model has since been detailed in complementary articles and its supervisory implications considered [11, 14, 33, 34]. The specific model modifications made subsequent to that 2015 presentation [32] were these: (a) a two-pointed arrow connecting supervisor and supervisee was added; (b) the Therapeutic/Supervision Actions block was changed to a Supervision Actions/Interventions block; (c) the Better Quality of Therapeutic Practice outcome block
