Abstrakt
Supervision comprises systematic cooperation between the supervisor and supervisee in the form of a dialogue held in a secure, open and innovative manner. Cognitive behavioural therapy supervision is based on the same principles as therapy.
To find associations, the supervisor uses guided discovery in which the supervisee may realize what he or she has not thought of and his or her understanding of the patient becomes deeper or may even change substantially. During the conversation, the supervisor uses questions to help the supervisee understand a wider context of case conceptualization, clarify adequate processes in treatment and realize transference and countertransference phenomena.
The article presents several supervisor-supervisee conversations to demonstrate Socratic dialogue in supervision.
