Kadushin and Harkness use Chapter 10 (linked in Resources) to discuss many issues supervisors face, including the conflict between ongoing supervision requirements within agencies, licensure, and autonomy of practice. This debate is still active in theory and in practice. Think about the debate from your own perspective as a licensed social worker and then from the perspective of a supervisor. What issues come to mind? For you, what are the compelling points within the debate? How will you balance these perspectives as one person who is both a supervisor and a licensed social worker? Support your perspective with credible resources and/or references.
