ABSTRACT
This chapter articulates by Stratton which views the many different forms of training and personal/professional development as contexts of adult learning. It draws much attention to the processes of supervisor learning and transformation as it does to those same processes in the supervisee. The chapter explores the potential for transformative learning for supervisees and supervisors arising from their shared dialogues about clients that are the very meat of supervision practice in counselling and psychotherapy. In the terminology of Ricoeur's mimetic framework described earlier, the configurative work at the heart of both the case and the supervisory dialogue led to a perception of resemblance within Patricia between the world of her client, wherein tragic loss had occurred through the medium of a balloon, and the world of her own parenthood, wherein she endeavoured to protect her young children from all danger.
