How does psychoanalytic supervision work? A brief communication
ABSTRACT In this brief communication, we offer one perspective the contextual psychoanalytic supervision model (CPSM) on how psychoanalytic supervision works. The CPSM, a supervisory extrapolation of Wampold's contextual psychotherapy relationship model, accentuates four psychoanalytic supervisor supervisee relationship variables as crucial and change inducing: the learning alliance bond, supervisor supervisee real relationship, creating supervision expectations/providing an expectation consistent form of supervision, and the supervisee's engagement in facilitative educational actions. The CPSM is presented in hopes of stimulating further discussion about what makes psychoanalytic supervision work.
