perspectives of the supervisors and supervisees. Seven supervisor-supervisee dyads participated in the study. Each of

supervisors and supervisees was interviewed to identify specific factors influencing the alliance formation at the beginning

and final stage of supervision. Four domains including supervision structure, supervisor’s behaviors, supervisee’s

involvement, and supervision effects were emerged. Supervisees emphasized that supervisor’s care for them was helpful for

alliance-building, whereas vogue supervision structure, supervisor’s seriousness, and supervisee’s anxiety for the supervisory

relationship were hindering factors. Supervisors highlighted the importance of supervisee’s active involvement and continual

discussion of a same client, and hoped that supervisees could express their needs in supervision. The implications of these

findings and suggestions for future research as well as supervision training and practice were also discussed.
