Psychotherapy supervision has been investigated extensively, but the literature reveals few controlled studies and none that directly assesses the effects of supervision on psychotherapy outcome. In this study, two aspects of psychotherapy supervision--the amount of supervision, and the congruence of theoretical orientation between the supervisor and trainee--were studied in relation to patient change as measured by pretherapy and followup ratings on the Global Assessment Scale (N = 237). Amount of supervision was not found to be related to therapy outcome, but patients showed significantly greater improvement when their trainee-therapists reported theoretical orientations congruent with those of their supervisors.
心理治疗督导已得到广泛研究，但文献显示对照研究很少，且没有一项直接评估督导对心理治疗效果的影响。在本研究中，针对心理治疗督导的两个方面——督导量以及督导与受训者理论取向的一致性——与患者变化的关系进行了研究，患者变化通过治疗前和随访时的总体评估量表评分来衡量（N = 237）。研究发现督导量与治疗效果无关，但当实习治疗师报告其理论取向与督导的理论取向一致时，患者的改善显著更大。
