Abstract

Although mentoring for doctoral students in social work is increasingly discussed, discourse on mentoring often emphasizes strategies over mechanisms. This reflection offers the author's experience of relationship-based mentoring that follows the parallel process theorized to mediate relationship-based social interventions. Examples of relational mentoring in social work teaching are offered, and implications for this model of mentoring in social work doctoral education are discussed.
