Once upon a time, in a supervisor’s office

phenomena occurring in TA supervision at early stages of psychotherapist’s development

Summary/Abstract: This article concentrates on the traits of a supervisor that are relevant at the onset of the therapeutic work as well as the phenomena that are likely to occur in the process of supervision. The authors emphasise the relevant aspects of supervision that require acknowledgement and analysis, such as entering games by taking on roles in drama triangle and experiencing fear/anxiety in relationship with a supervisor. Most importantly, the effective means of dealing with these obstacles are being presented in order to facilitate the process of establishing and maintaining a safe supervisory relationship. These include changing the drama triangle into a beneficial triangle and dealing with fear/anxiety in supervision in a way proposed by Shohet. In order to illustrate the above mentioned processes, the authors employ an original fairy tale.
