Clinical supervision is a professional activity designed to train competent and ethical psychotherapists who can provide effective and high-quality interventions to the clients. It fulfills educational, restorative and normative functions, which largely depend on the supervision model used. This article presents a review of the literature to account for the categories of existing models and provides a synthesis of some models commonly used in supervision. EBSCO academic databases were consulted, especifically Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection and ERIC, also PsycArticles and Google Scholar were used; the articles selected ranged from 1995 to 2020. Only keywords in English were used: “clinical supervision”, “supervision”, “competence”, “competency-based”, “evidence-based supervision” and “psychotherapy-based supervision”. Four categories of models are presented, three of which are globally accepted and the fourth is offered as a proposal to be integrated since it has specific characteristics and represents the evolution of the area, which is supported by research.
