Abstract
The clinical supervision professional literature has identified four interpersonal games that supervisees might employ with supervisors in order to reduce, alleviate, or avoid interpersonal challenges. The purpose of the study, therefore, was to explore the occurrence and intensity of the four games within an authentic clinical supervision setting. Results from 66 clinicians indicated that all four games occurred with varying levels of intensity, and both the type of game employed and the intensity of the game were related to measures of counselor professional development and overall competence. Implications for supervisor training and practice are provided.
