Zusammenfassung

Die komplexen und vielfältigen Funktionen, die der Supervisor ausüben muss, um mit dem Kandidaten zusammen den Verlauf komplexer Prozesse verfolgen zu können, sind unter anderem:

• die Ziele der Supervision im Auge behalten,

• ein Lehrbündnis bilden sowie den Wunsch und die Ambition des Kandidaten zu lernen unterstützen,

• die Dynamik der Ausbildungssituation beachtend, eine Plattform für die komplexen Interaktionen mit den Kandidaten erstellen und die Einflüsse der Institution berücksichtigen,

• den Rahmen für die Arbeit festsetzen,

• untersuchen und reflektierend mitverfolgen, wie Übertragung und Gegenübertragung die Interaktion zwischen Patient und Analytiker sowie zwischen Kandidat und Supervisor beeinflussen,

• die Interaktion zwischen Kandidat und Analysand fokussieren, diese Interaktionen gemeinsam mit dem Kandidaten untersuchen, und ihn dabei dazu anregen, auch selbstständig zu analysieren,

• kontinuierlich Hypothesen über Kernkonflikt, Übertragungsphänomene und Widerstand beim Patienten erarbeiten sowie

• die gemeinsame Arbeit reflektierend und prüfend untersuchen.

Abstract

The manifold functions of a supervisor in following the course of complex processes together with the trainee, are:

• to keep the goals of the supervision in view,

• to establish a teaching alliance and to support the wish and ambitions of the candidate to learn,

• to build a platform for the complex interactions with the trainee with regard to the dynamics of the training situation and keeping in mind the institutional influences,

• to lay down the setting for the work,

• to explore and to reflect how transference and counter-transference influence the interaction between patient and analyst as well as between trainee and supervisor,

• to examine these interactions together focussing continuously on the interaction between candidate and patient, and to encourage the candidate to do the same on his own,

• to continuously formulate hypotheses about the core conflict, the transference phenomena and resistance of the patient,

• to explore and reflect on the cooperative work.
