Supervision of the Psychoanalytic Process

Chair:

Psychotherapy, New York, New York

Open to participants with more than ten years of group psychotherapy experience

Relational conceptualization of supervision, such as mutuality and symmetry, and shifts in the nature of supervisor’s authority, have made the practice of supervision more interesting but complicated. Through live supervisory demonstrations of individual cases by participants, we will explore through group reactions such issues as creating safe space and dimensions of power.
