Supervisory Relationship

A Contemporary Psychodynamic Approach

Edición de la obra The supervisory relationship

"The volume begins by discussing the history of psychodynamic supervision, examining how major analytic theories and practices have been mirrored in this crucial element of professional development. An innovative typology is delineated to facilitate comparison among models and enable readers to think more systematically about their own supervisory priorities and styles. The authors' model is then presented within the context of contemporary relational theories of mind, health, pathology, and treatment. Filled with detailed examples and vignettes, chapters show how the supervisor and supervisee can work together to co-construct, mutually derive, and negotiate meanings that elucidate both the treatment relationship and the supervisory relationship. Key themes explored include issues of power and authority, regression in the supervisory relationship, rethinking the "teach/treat" question, parallel process as a relational phenomenon, working with group process in case conference, and the role of the organization in supporting training.". "This thoughtful book will be read with pleasure by anyone interested in the intricate processes of clinical teaching and learning. It is a richly informative resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychoanalysts, and others involved in supervisory work. It also will serve as a text for courses on clinical supervision and psychodynamic psychotherapy."--BOOK JACKET.
