ABSTRACT
The current professionalization of supervision has framed the difficult experiences of therapists as deficits and attempted to contain emotional and personal expression in supervision. While person-centered approaches to supervision have tried to step aside from this fragmented treatment of supervisor, therapist and client, they remain widely criticized and under threat from current legal and ethical guidelines of practice.
Here I explore the links between current conceptualizations of supervision and neoliberal frameworks of belief. This chapter is a call for a more politically imaginative approach to person-centered supervision practice in order to more fully articulate and advocate for its alternative voice.
