ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the "supervision" within the context of teaching systemic psychotherapy. It describes the personal development as an aspect of supervision in a psychotherapy teaming context is the focus for some personal reflections. The chapter focuses on process and supervision as a reflective narrative and examines what the experience would bring forth. It explores two complementary approaches to thinking and considers some implications of these operating within wider systems before focusing on the relationship between supervisor and practitioner in a training context. The chapter argues that the most interesting and intangible aspect of supervision is the changing quality of relationship in the process of forming an interactional system of the supervisor, trainees, and clients. Personal development is an integral aspect of the clinical supervision on the clinical training programme. The trainees often felt that they preferred to address aspects of self in supervision groups with their supervisor and supervision-group members.
