ABSTRACT
At the beginning of the supervisory relationship it is important to complete groundwork tasks in much the same way that the people outline therapeutic boundaries. The supervision session is likely to move between different areas as the presenting focus recedes into the ground and a different supervisory need become figural. One of the Dave Mann former supervisors used to say there was no difference between gestalt therapy and gestalt supervision, a statement that he believe was designed to be provocative. The author believe that there are fundamental differences but as the people work interpersonally in gestalt, using our self in process with the supervisees field including how the people are affected by the supervisee, there cannot be a definite line where supervision ends and therapy begins. With reference to Nevis the author would like to draw the following analogy with the process of gestalt supervision.
