Jungian perspectives on clinical supervision

Más información sobre el libro

The role of supervision in training clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts has gained significant importance in recent years. Despite being a long-standing component of psychotherapist training, there has been limited literature on the topic until recently. This volume seeks to foster open discussions about supervision and the training of analytic candidates, featuring contributions from leading experts. Topics include elaborating technique, addressing transference and countertransference issues, guiding clinical inquiry, and exploring dynamic and archetypal formulations of the analytic process, as well as repetitive patterns of behavior, thought, and fantasy. This collection serves as a vital reference for supervising psychoanalysts and therapists, as well as training candidates, graduate students in social work and clinical psychology, and psychiatry residents. Key chapters cover individual supervision theories, mentorship archetypes, interactive fields, transference projections, and various supervision styles. It also addresses the morale of potential analysts, case seminar supervision, clinical process reflections, progress assessment in supervision, and the evolution of supervisors throughout their careers. Overall, it highlights the complexities and challenges of supervision as a profession.
