DEVELOPING INSIGHT THROUGH SUPERVISION - RELATING, THEN DEFINING

By the use of tape recordings, I attempt to understand the main ways i n which a supervisor helps the supervisees to gain insights into their work with their patients. Through this research I became aware that i nsights come into being by way of a process involving unconscious iden tity and differentiation. I have use supervisory examples to illustrat e the ways in which the supervisor interacts with the supervisee.
