Introduction: Thinking about Supervision

  • Chapter
Supervising and Being Supervised

Abstract

The idea for this book emerged from a series of twelve-week supervision events called Thinking about Supervision, developed and organised in the late 1990s by the editors on behalf of the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) for qualified analysts, psychotherapists and counsellors. Some of the ideas to evolve from these events, both in the talks given by members of the society, and in the subsequent small group case discussions, prompted us to think further about the nature of the supervisory process. We then invited some of the contributors who gave lectures and others with a special interest in supervision, to develop their ideas into cohesive chapters. We hope the book will be of interest to Jungian analysts around the world as well as to psychotherapists and counsellors supervising therapy in different institutional settings and in private practice.
