The Agony and Ecstasy of Supervising

This workshop will focus on transference and countertransference evoked in the supervisory relationship. We will discuss issues related to differences between and among supervisors, supervisees, patients and how these differences are experienced unconsciously and enacted through unexpected feelings, thoughts, and difficult reactions. We will consider how these experiences become conscious and are also understood as reflecting parallel processes of the therapist and patient as well as being reflective of the organization wherein the supervision takes place. Among our considerations will be age differences, cultural differences, class differences, gender differences, racial and ethnic differences and psychological issues such as narcissistic vulnerabilities in any or all of the pairs. Additionally, we will address how to differentiate ways of working with patients from ways of working with supervisees.
