We carried out a research to translate and validate the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale© (MCSS) into Portuguese language from Portugal. Thus, we can assess the clinical supervision process. We applied the methods of translation and back – translation and experts analyzed translations. MCSS and the back translation were compared by collaborative parties. An empirical study using a test – retest design was made to estimate cross-cultural relevance. Cronbach’s alpha value for the total score was 0,923 in both periods. The Portuguese version is culturally acceptable and consistent with the original.engClinical SupervisionManchester Clinical Supervision ScaleValidation of TranslationTranslationjournal article10.1016/j.sbspro.2011.11.205
