The developmental model, summarized in an article by Stoltenberg (2005), summarizes a supervision approach that uses developmental framework in clinical supervision. The author, Stolenberg (2005) and Ursula Delworth created a developmental model titled Integrated Developmental Model of supervision (IDM). IDM provided specific details about the changes in the supervisee throughout their time in clinical supervision. It also provided specific details on the types of supervision environments and supervisor intervention for each level of development (Stoltenberg, 2005).

If nicely addressing the issue doesn’t change anything, I will send an email quoting this section of the ACA and request evaluations.
