Effective supervision offers an extra set of eyes to help you recognize what the patient is
communicating and use your skills and intuition to be as helpful as possible. In a respectful, collegial setting
with an experienced supervisor you can learn to better understand diagnosis, transference and countertransference and to develop
empathy for and insight into the patient's struggles and growth. Supervision is an opportunity to develop your unique
identity as a therapist, to build on your strengths and to clarify your professional approach and ethics so that you grow
into the best therapist you can be. Finally, it's a chance to create a healthy balance between work and personal life
and to gain the skills to reach your professional goals.
Many experienced practitioners regard the training analysis as a sometimes challenging
but invaluable aspect of their work as a psychoanalytic candidate; it is a hallmark of our profession. Your training
analysis is an opportunity to explore your life experiences, to find meaning and heal from hurt, and to increase your
empathy for patients who seek psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. It also offers a setting where you can
find support and perspective as you consider the challenges of your years of training in light of your personal journey.
