title: On the experiential and psychotherapeutic dimensions of psychoanalytic supervision: an interpersonal perspective.
abstract: I advocate in this article for supervision to provide a frankly psychoanalytic (i.e. psychotherapeutic) experiential encounter for the supervisee, and the stipulation that it convey experientially the very idiom it is intending to impart. I contend that the psychotherapeutic and experiential potentials of psychoanalytic supervision have often been prescriptively delimited, to the detriment of its participants' potential transformations and evolutions as psychoanalysts and persons. I address some of the unique contributions interpersonal psychoanalytic theories offer in support of conducting psychoanalytic supervision in terms of my suggested modifications.
