Abstract

Objectives The study addresses in-depth exploration of a professional bibliotherapist’s experience via case conceptualization-based supervision, by way of the narrative study methodology. Methods The above-mentioned bibliotherapist has more than 10 years of experiences offering bibliotherapy and more than 50 hours of supervision experiences. Data were collected over a 3-month span, by way of three supervision and in-depth interview sessions. Results Analyzed out of the data were 3 domains and 9 lower categories that are related to temporality. Lower category for the first domain (‘pre-supervision pressure’) was ‘preparation of supervision at a loss.’ Lower categories for the second domain (‘shifting of perspective via supervision’) were ‘training for whole-hearted understanding,’ ‘completely melted bibliotherapist’s medium, not part of it,’ ‘going from winding alley to boulevard,’ ‘change of interactions with added trust trust,’ ‘proactive motivation of using media for bibliotherapy,’ and ‘bibliotherapy with shifting of perspective applied.’ Lower categories for the third domain (‘growth via supervision’) were ‘using bibliotherapy to improve counseling effect’ and ‘ruminating myself.’ Conclusions The results of this study will contribute to recognizing the meaning of the case conceptualization-based bibliotherapy supervision experience and preparing concrete evidence for how the case conceptualization training of bibliotherapy supervision is systematized and effectively carried out.
