N2 - Most Arab students of social work in Israel are supervised by Jewish supervisors during their field work practicum. However, there is a serious dearth of empirical research on this encounter between people from different ethnic and national backgrounds. The paper presents results from two studies conducted among Jewish supervisors and Arab supervisees. Supervisors' and supervisees' perceptions were studied and documented along five dimensions: (1) Difficulties experienced specifically by Arab students; (2) the relationship between Jewish supervisors and Arab supervisees; (3) difficulties related to gender and nationality; (4) strategies for coping with difficulties between Arab supervisees and their Jewish supervisors; and (5) recommended modifications in the social work curriculum and supervision process. Gaps between the perceptions of Jewish supervisors and Arab supervisees are discussed, and relevant conclusions are presented.
