Summary
Structural Supervision is a conceptual framework, which allows us to analyze problems in the working environment without personalizing them by the use of discourse-analytical and subject-scientific instruments. It is an attempt to combine supervision with an emancipatory impulse. In this paper I sketch the basic assumptions and the analytical framework with its theoretical implications. Following from there I describe the different steps of a supervision process. Finally I give an example of a supervision process in order to illustrate the advantages and problems of this approach. The example is taken from work with the Sanctuary Movement in Germany.
