The bond, through supervisor modeling and ‘being’, can itself be an intervention and, in turn, have direct effect on other implemented interventions, too. Whereas the bond was previously viewed as affecting Supervision Actions/Interventions via Tasks/Goals [11, 14, 33, 34], we believe that the bond’s direct effects now need recognition as well. With those considerations in mind, we have revised the CSRM accordingly. Our revisions, placed in simplest capsule form, can best be captured in this way: both supervisor and supervisee contribute to all alliance components, all alliance components --- separately and in combination --- contribute to the three relationship pathways, and the three relationship pathways --- separately and in combination --- contribute to all supervisee outcomes. Figure 3 reflects these specific revision changes: (a) the Tasks/Goals block has been moved to be paired with the Bond block; (b) a two-point arrow connecting the Tasks/Goals and Bond blocks has been added; (c) arrows that flow from the Supervisor and Supervisee blocks to the Tasks/Goals block have been added; (d) arrows that flow from the Tasks/Goals block to the Real Relationship, Expectations, and Supervision Actions/Interventions blocks have been added; (e) an arrow that flows directly from the Bond block to the Supervision Actions/Interventions block has been added and (f) an arrow that flows from the Real Relationship block to the Better Quality of Therapeutic Practice: Therapist Skills/ Competency Development block has been added. These changes, in our view, better capture (a) the different ways in which the alliance components can contribute to supervision and actuate the start of a favorable process and (b) how each of the pathways, Real Relationship included, can potentially affect all supervisee outcomes. Figure 3. The Contextual Supervision Relationship Model (CSRM) circa 2025: Updated Revision Note. We express our appreciation to Dr. Jeffrey Magnavita, Editor, Journal of Unified Psychotherapy and Clinical Science , for allowing us to adapt previously published CSRM material from that journal [14, 34]. These changes have been made to recognize, and render the CSRM reflective of, these newly proposed Bond, Tasks/Goals, and Real Relationship supervision effects. Thus, we would re-word our earlier CSRM description as follows: The CSRM emphasizes the importance of supervisor-supervisee bond, goals, and tasks . Trust, understanding, and
