ABSTRACT
Supervisors normally work with one to four supervisees at the same time, sometimes up to eight. Supervision with one supervisee is described as individual supervision. The size of supervision combination can be determined by the sponsor. Insight, understood as the result of supervisor's thoughts, feelings, and actions, can be acquired and developed by reflecting. It will become apparent that supervision is a form of experiential learning: learning from concrete practical experiences by reflecting on them and drawing conclusions. The supervisee will need to learn how to maintain a functional relationship and to handle interactions efficiently. Supervision is also about teaching supervisees to learn independently from practical experiences so that they can continue their own learning processes after the end of the supervision period. In order to learn effectively by reflecting on experiences, those experiences will first have to be made concrete or explicit. This means making contact with what supervisor have experienced, and retrieving the experience as specifically as possible.
