Clinical Supervision of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy,
psychotherapy supervisors from the fields of psychology,
psychiatry, social work, and dance movement therapy deal with the
ambiguity and complexity of the supervisory role. They attend to
the need to establish open, respectful, verbal and non-verbal
communication, a trusting relationship, a shared language, and a
commitment to examining unconscious conflict in the supervisory
encounter as well as the patient-therapist dynamics. The
contributors show how the supervisor makes room for the supervisee
to express her anxieties without becoming her therapist, thereby
providing a model for empathic listening but within appropriate
boundaries. They also describe the many ways in which the
therapist’s issues reflect or are triggered by those of the
patient, are further reflected in the dynamics of the supervisory
pair, and in the institution where supervisee and supervisor
work.

The contributors approach task, boundary, focus, and interaction in
supervision from multiple vertices – research, analytic
sensibility, group process, bodily and artistic expression,
cross-cultural challenges, and individual teaching and learning in
clinical supervision. A clear picture emerges of the qualities that
characterize the good supervisor for any psychotherapist. The
volume concludes with a list of further reading for those who must
educate themselves and those who are inspired to establish a course
or training program in analytic psychotherapy supervision.
