| Abstract: In the field of behavior analysis, the supervisor-supervisee relationship is fundamental to the development of competent and ethical practitioners. Integrating reflective supervision into the supervisory process can enhance this relationship by fostering an environment of trust, empathy, and mutual respect that is bidirectional. Reflective supervision—characterized by critical reflection, self-awareness, and constructive dialogue—not only supports professional growth but also contributes to the overall well-being of both the supervisor and supervisee, helping them navigate the challenges and complexities inherent to behavior analytic practice. This concept presentation examines the role of reflective supervision in strengthening supervisory relationships within behavior analysis. Building on the framework by Sellers, Valentino, and LeBlanc (2016), which emphasizes relationship-building as essential for effective supervision, this presentation explores how supervisors and supervisees can use reflective practices to facilitate their skill development and growth. Additionally, reflective supervision aligns with ethical guidelines in the most recent Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB, 2022) Ethics Code, specifically Code 1.07, which promotes cultural responsiveness and respect in interactions. By adopting reflective supervision practices, supervisors can improve engagement and resilience within the supervisor-supervisee relationship, ultimately leading to better outcomes for those they serve.
