ABSTRACT
Many supervisors run brilliant groups with unselfconscious skill. They have learned this ability from other group leaders or have developed it naturally in life; perhaps many more run groups which they or their participants find unsatisfactory, uneasy or effortful. For this chapter, we are condensing what we have done in our previous writing and training – we offer maps and some guidance on how any reasonably skilled supervisor can set about consciously developing the abilities that are needed for good group supervision. By good supervision we mean supervision which is satisfying to the participants and to supervisors and therefore enables the most effective work with clients – the heart of the matter.
