Though Stand-Still of different degrees is a common experience during supervisions, it has been rarely addressed in the literature. We differentiate between a stand-still that is a necessary period that is required to consolidate the gains, from the one that threatens to dissolve the supervision. Based on clinical material from an analytic supervision we shall discuss these issues.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

  1. To discuss the various degrees of stand-still in supervision
  2. To compare your experience with the one presented.
