The construction of the therapist's self through contact with the supervisor in systemic psychotherapy

In order to make the link with the theme proposed for this 11th EFTA congress 'resonances and interferences', we have chosen to look at supervision spaces in systemic psychotherapy. Although they are highly praised by therapists, trainers and the literature, supervision spaces in systemic psychotherapy are paradoxically the subject of little research. However, being a supervisor requires specific skills to carry out the process of accompanying the supervisee. In this presentation, we propose to present the preliminary results of our doctoral thesis on the construction of the therapist's self in contact with the supervisor in systemic psychotherapy. Through the use of the Grounded Theory Methodology (Glaser & Strauss, 1967), we will see how expert supervisors think about intervening to carry out their interventions and thus, contribute to the construction of the supervised therapists' self.
