ABSTRACT

This chapter is an acknowledgement of and tribute to the ideas of colleagues who over the years have developed strategies and techniques for approaching supervision that help to keep the process alive and fresh. My own profession of clinical psychology is dominated by talking as the medium of communication, and this can be a very effective way for people to connect, both in therapy and in supervision. This chapter describes techniques for using talk in different ways, and for using other materials and methods to widen the scope of the collaborative enquiry in supervision.
