There are many and different answers to the on-going inquiry What is Psychoanalytic Supervision? The supervisors need to develop the capacity to learn about and respect the analytic perspectives other the one they are affiliated with. In this manner, they are likely to listen and respond adequately to their supervisee’s needs and their patients.

During this meeting, we will discuss in the morning the basic characteristics of the different analytic perspectives to supervision and provide a clinical illustration. We will focus on An Understanding of Dreams during Psychoanalytic Supervision. The participants will have plenty of opportunities to present brief clinical material.
