Abstract

A critical and often overlooked issue is the lack of measurement tools that are congruent with the systemic and developmental guiding principles of the Marital and Family Therapy field. In this current study, we test the dyadic supervision evaluation (DSE) focusing on the internal consistency, specifically the developmental trajectory of trainee and supervisor factors during a year in supervision. This study demonstrates how these factors stabilize over time. The DSE psychometrics are evaluated with a sample of 205 dyads that are tested longitudinally over four time points. We employ repeated measures ANOVA with intra-class correlation (ICC) to measure the level of consistency of the subscales over time. The results of this analysis show that the factors for trainees have an ICC average range of 0.66–0.80, and the factors for supervisors have an ICC average range of 0.69–0.84.
