ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to describe a tentative methodology for constructing a reflexive supervisory system within a certain socio-cultural and organizational context. It provides conceptualize reflexivity as a continuous recursive process involving supervisors and supervisees. Inevitably, group dynamics develop in the process of group sessions, and it is a difficult issue for the supervisors as to how far they allow them to proceed, or to be worked through. The supervisors hold the view that the structure and process of their training course is flexible and permeable, thanks to a feedback loop involving them and the trainees/supervisees. The University Mental Health Research Institute, Athens, provides training in systemic family therapy via a four-year course. Comparing the sub-types of the latter mode of supervision, the dyad felt more comfortable with group supervision—that is, in sharing the supervision job with all members of the group.
