Abstract
Supervision of psychotherapy cases is the central mode of learning psychotherapy for beginning therapists. In this paper, the authors discuss the process of learning within supervision in terms of the psychological work of the supervisee. This work includes addressing anxiety about psychotherapy and supervision; identification with the supervisor; maturation, introspection, and reflection; recognition of parallel process and intersubjectivity; appreciation of the nature of the therapeutic and supervisory relationships; and development of a therapeutic identity. In fostering these processes, supervision has an important role in the development of the beginning therapist.
