The author discusses the distinctive features of transactional analysis supervision and presents an operational model based, in part, on the checklist proposed by Clarkson (1992) for evaluating supervision sessions. Clarkson's model was modified by the author, who defines seven aspects of supervision: (1) a clear and appropriate contract, (2) identification of key issues, (3) effective emotional contact with the trainee, (4) protection of both trainee and client, (5) increasing developmental directions, (6) awareness and effective use of parallel process, and (7) an equal relationship between supervisor and supervisee. The characteristics of the seven elements are discussed for each of the three development stages of training (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) and are integrated with Erskine's (1982) developmental supervision model.
