ABSTRACT
This chapter is in three parts. The first is an exploration of boundary issues, drawing upon examples from both clinical work and supervision. The second part is a discussion of what might be called 'visible' and 'invisible' boundaries and of parallel processes in supervision. We have borrowed the idea of the 'visible' and 'invisible' from Agazarian and Peters; they use them in their book The Visible and Invisible Group (1981). They relate these two perspectives to group psychotherapy and the group process. We use these ideas to think of the visible and invisible in relation to boundaries. In the third and final part of the chapter we look at the specific boundary issues that arise in community music work, and music therapy in the community, in relation to the implications for the supervision process.
