title: Control and power in supervision.
abstract: This article explores the dynamics of the supervisory process focusing on the factors effecting the balance of power between the supervisor and supervise. The assignment of inherent roles, issues of transference, countertransference, and the parallel process with all the risks involved for both parties are reviewed. Recent developments in the shifting supervisory equilibrium are analyzed and specific suggestions are offered to avoid the common pitfalls present in many contemporary supervisor situations.
