Beyond Competence: Fostering LGBTQQI Ally Development Through Supervision

Abstract

In this critical literature review, the authors examine how counseling supervisors can ethically and effectively foster supervisees’ lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex (LGBTQQI) ally development. Synthesis of the integrated developmental model of supervision with a framework for affirming LGBTQQI case conceptualization is described. Practical examples are provided for each component of the proposed model, and a case study is provided to illustrate application of LGBTQQI ally supervision.
