Abstract

The article explores ethical issues raised by the use of technology in clinical work with clients and in the supervision of supervisees’ work with clients. In the first part, the new technologies are presented, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of their use in supervision.
The literature reveals three fields in which ethical issues are raised: supervision process, legal and regulatory issues and technology. In more detail, major emphasis has been put on the supervisory working relationship and questions of process, informed consent (between a supervisor and a supervisee and between a supervisee and a client), evaluation of a supervisees’ efficacy and confidentiality.
