ABSTRACT

The supervision training has changed and lengthened in order to provide a robust training that meets the needs of supervisors in counselling and psychotherapy profession. The training has evolved into a packed twenty-day course that, combined with study and practice hours, has been validated at postgraduate level. The value of supervision of supervision is highlighted in an article by D. Packwood, who completed supervision training. Psychosynthesis supervision offers creative methods conducive to the transpersonal that allow the supervisory couple or group to transcend the structures of the cognitive mind. From the transpersonal meta-perspective, "supervision is a form of retreat", says D. Whitmore. Group supervision can be particularly fertile ground for the transpersonal. Transpersonal therapy or supervision should not be seen as the exclusive domain of transpersonal therapists and supervisors who have reached the "subtle" or "causal" levels of psychospiritual development, as John Rowan implies.
