This is a description.

Session 8 part 2 from the Evolution of Psychotherapy is called The Leap to Complexity: Supervision in Family Therapy. Jeffrey K Zeig, PhD is the discussant. Moderated by Janet Edgette.

Isomorphic processes include supervision and therapy. The very teaching of the process of creating change in people is an attempt to create change in the supervisee. Like families, therapists tend to confine themselves to certain parts of their repertory. The expansion of the therapist’s use of self is a major goal of supervision.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. To describe the foundations that every therapist has, and the idiosyncratic styles that constrain their interventions.
2. To describe a form of supervision that, accepting the therapist’s baselines, moves toward an expansion on the repertory of therapeutic possibilities.
3. To describe the process of the relationship between supervisor and supervisee.

Session may be edited to preserve confidentiality.
