"In this collection of scholarly and stimulating essays. supervisees from a variety of cultural backgrounds describe conditions most conducive to learning. They also teach us the ways in which supervisions can go awry. Through clinical cases shared with a perceptive supervisor, we watch learning and teaching processes unfold. We are shown in detail just how complex and rewarding the supervisory experience can be." Daniel Jacobs, MD, Training and Supervision Analyst, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, co-author, The Supervisory Encounter"This book is distinctive, organized by two supervisees of an unusually gifted supervisor, written from supervisees' perspectives. It represents the insightful cumulation of the multiple supervisees' psychodynamic experiences. Readers will be delighted by their candid descriptions. The contributors demonstrate that supervision is the bilateral co-creative maturing process. It also delivers the implications of cross-cultural supervision. I guarantee that supervisees, supervisors, and many others in psychotherapy/psychoanalysis discipline will benefit significantly from reading this book world-wide."
