ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the distinction between the levels of individual construction and of co-construction to be central. It addresses the question of whether supervision deals with the level of individual construction or with that of co-construction. The distinction between the individual and the co-construction levels of interaction is helpful when distinguishing between different levels of analysis of any therapeutic situation. The level of individual construction is stressed by constructivism, and the level of co-construction is emphasized by constructionism. The two different models of supervision are organized around two different foci of observation, description, or analysis. The first model deals with the level of individual construction implied in the therapeutic process, the second with the level of co-construction. "Supervision as a practice of teaching a specific psychotherapeutic approach" is supervision that is centred on the supervisee and on his or her process of learning.
