Art therapy supervision: a space of confluence between seeing and doing

Abstract

The demands on supervision are aimed at filling doubts and gaps of a theoretical nature, others are methodological and practical, what to do and how to do it. Others are in relation to the need to link, to reassure and go internalizing reference models, not only conceptual, but also to do own art therapy. From the position of supervisors, we listen, we return, we point out, we welcome the emotions and the fragility of the person who is exposed, and in this our way of doing and being in the session is reflected and in that sense it is a reference of the art of therapy. In this article we ask ourselves questions about what supervision is, what we learn to see in supervision, what is put into play, where the supervisor puts the focus, what attitude he has, or what he transmits.
