Guest (1995) surveyed field-based clinical counseling supervisors to determine their levels of endorsement of the Ethical Guidelines for Counseling Supervisors developed by the Association for Counselor Education

The purpose of this study was to examine how site and university supervisors differed on the interpretation of ethical dilemmas based on the ethical standards developed by the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) Ethical Guidelines for Counseling Supervisors (1993). A survey of ethical dilemmas based on salient ethical issues in counseling supervision (i.e., dual relationships, competence, informed consent, and due process) was used. The participants in this study included site supervisors of field-based practicum, internship students and university supervisors from counseling programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The results of the study indicated significant differences between university and site supervisors on the interpretation of ethical dilemmas based on relevant ethical standards. Although differences existed, there are no clear trends in the direction of these differences.
