ABSTRACT
Supervision is a process that allows for personal and professional growth in the supervisee, and one of its objectives is to make it possible for the analytic situation to develop in a way that allows the supervisee to experience the phenomenon of psychoanalysis, to learn to conceptualize the experience he is living, and to reach and have insight in the experiences lived by the patient. There is the possibility of some interference in the task of supervision due to transference and countertransference problems on behalf of the supervisee and supervisor. Supervisors often differ as to the attitude one should adopt with these countertransference problems of the supervisee with his patient. A parallel process has been described that can develop between supervisee and patient, and between the supervisee and his supervisor, which implies that the student enacts towards the supervisor the same unconscious conflict that he has with his patient, or the patient with him.
