ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses upon supervising trainees who are near the end of their training in the psychiatric setting. A case study approach is taken whereby the parallel process of a final-year supervisee and a supervisor will be examined from the inside. This internal perspective draws and reflects upon the supervisee's experience first hand, because the supervisee contributes vignettes from his own unique experience. 1 In particular, dealing with disturbances arising from group members who are psychotic, and the importance of understanding and accepting the negative transference through supervision, lie at the heart of the process described.
