Welcome to this Special Issue of tCBT. Our focus in this special edition of the journal is on supervision. Few would argue the vital role of supervision during CBT training and beyond to ensure treatment fidelity to evidence-based protocols. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Professors Derek Milne and Robert Reiser for kindly acting as guest editors. In addition, we are grateful for their fine contributions to the supervision literature in this particular edition of the journal. Thanks too to Professor Cory Newman from the tCBT editorial board for contributing to the overarching paper provided by Professors Milne and Reiser. Thanks also to all the authors for their fine contributions and to our reviewers who gave so generously of their time to comment on the submitted manuscripts. Our intention is to publish one Special Issue a year, next year we look forward to a special edition with a focus on ‘complexity’ with guest editors Dr Claire Lomax and Dr Stephen Barton from Newcastle University.

This special issue was designed to facilitate futures-oriented planning, focused on identical, similar, and unique practice and policy priorities. Formal planning aimed at desirable futures is a practical necessity for every helping profession because rapid, sometimes dramatic, societal change continues nonstop. Like all futures-oriented analyses, ours is unavoidably selective. Selectivity, once recognized, is a strength because readers are not asked to view the main claims and recommendations as a final authority. Selective research and scholarship focused on the creation and safeguarding of desirable futures has generative propensities that can provide the impetus for subsequent proposals aimed at the common good. In this chapter, the authors offer an integrative summary of the work in this special issue. Our summary invites readers’ special attention to distinctive features in their respective home contexts. This perspective stands in stark contrast to 20th Century models often described as “one best system” and “one ideal physical education model.” Justifiable variability—where “justifiable” means evidence-based and harmonized values—is the new norm for the 21st Century. The authors conclude that the physical education profession will benefit to the extent that it adopts the theme offered in this special issue. Unity founded on diversity—an idea whose time has come in a field known for fierce competition over curricula and programs.
