Decision Number 974

SUBJECT TO FINAL EDITING


October 23, 2003

Decision


At the initiation of the supervisory process the respondent has a right not only to examine but to possess the written complaint and any supporting material accompanying it. Confidentiality is a highly important principle that must be observed by all parties during the supervisory process, but it cannot be used as a reason to keep the complaint and supporting documentation from the respondent and his/her advocate/counsel.

Sally Brown Geis was absent.
