How would you evaluate the effectiveness of your approach with individual clients? Describe the specific steps you would take in reflecting upon a "critical incident", i.e., an event in your practice which requires careful evaluation. 4.4 What is clinical supervision? What are the pros and cons of the different forms it can take?
