The Dilemmas of Supervision: Supervisors in Peer Supervision.
Rubin, Simon Shimshon
The Postgraduate Center for Psychotherapy in Haifa, Israel has developed a one-year seminar in psychodynamic supervision for practicing supervisors. Twenty-five participants took part in group seminars designed to address the process of supervision and the theoretical, personal, and stylistic differences among supervisors. This paper describes the context of group discussions and looks at group processes and evolution since the seminar began in the 1982-1983 academic year. Several salient issues discussed in the groups are examined, including: (1) whether the primary focus of supervision is on the student-therapist or the client; (2) the developmental phase of the supervisee; (3) attention to the therapist's personality; (4) therapists who have not been in psychotherapy; (5) competing models of treatment; (6) evaluation of the supervisee; and (7) multidimensional influences among patient, therapist, and supervisor. Illustrative case material is considered. Suggestions for those considering working on supervision of supervision are included in the areas of the learning function, the supportive function, the exploration of countertransference, attention to the supervisory process for implications concerning therapy, and the evaluation role.
