The Use of the Ethical Genogram in Supervision

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to serve as a follow-up to previous articles using P. R. Peluso's (2003) ethnical genogram and the expansion of the ethical genogram to include ethical principals and ethical decision-making styles (P. R. Peluso, 2006). The authors develop monitoring forms for use in the supervision process, both for the supervisor and the supervisee. They further illustrate the use of these monitoring forms as a tool to address possible areas of development and conflict as well as to keep in the forefront the supervisee's areas of strength. Using a case example, they demonstrate the use of these monitoring forms in the supervision process. Finally, the usefulness of this tool for supervision is discussed.
