Case Study Ms. Ward is supervising Cameron at a community mental health agency. She is providing both administrative oversight and clinical supervision for Cameron to obtain independent licensure in her state. Ms. Ward has worked to build an open relationship with Cameron, has provided direction for Cameron’s work with clients, and made efforts to balanced support and challenge in her clinic work. Furthermore, Cameron has received generally positive employment reviews, although areas for growth have been identified. After 1.5 years of employment and supervised practice, Cameron knows she has completed all of her hours and expects her supervisor to sign off on the final paperwork she has provided so that she can submit it with her application for independent licensure. However, Ms. Ward states that she doesn’t feel comfortable endorsing her at this time due to her lack of autonomy and dependence on her as a supervisor. Cameron is unable to complete her application and now has a strained relationship with her supervisor.

Consider this question: What are the possible ethical issues to the supervisee?
