Individual and Group Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy Supervision
Individual psychoanalytical psychotherapy supervision refers to a process where a psychoanalyst or therapist receives guidance and mentorship from a more experienced clinician or supervisor. This supervision is crucial for therapists in training or those seeking to enhance their clinical skills and deepen their understanding of psychoanalytic theory and practice.
During supervision sessions, the therapist typically discusses their cases, explores their reactions and countertransference towards clients, and delves into theoretical concepts underlying the therapeutic process. The supervisor provides feedback, offers insights, and helps the therapist navigate challenging clinical situations.
