Abstract
Ethical consideration of supervisors’ presence within a supervisory relationship is often overlooked as unclear expectations are outlined. The impact of a supervisor’s lack of self-concept has significant ripple effects through the supervisory relationship extending through the organization and into the care of patients. In this chapter, self-concept is looked at through the lens of a developing supervisor, considering cultural expectations and the repercussions of those whose roles are to support and guide supervisors. The definition of self-concept can vary widely, and depending on how an individual defines this concept will impact how the individual engages and expresses themselves. Supervisors have a burden to those they supervise to shoulder the responsibility for both parties, and the foundation of this burden is built on the self-concept of the supervisor, making it a vital element.
