Abstract
The one-way mirror method of supervision is an excellent method to train psychotherapists. Its positive influences on training candidates and patients are well-documented in previous studies. Based on his personal experiences as an observer of psychoanalytic psychotherapy sessions from behind a mirror, the author recognized particular materials, dynamics and defenses both in the patients and the trainees, brought out by the one-way mirror setting. The advantages of this supervision method and the materials, defenses and dynamics that this setting instigated in patients and therapists are explored separately. The importance of the supervisory relationship in dealing with such issues is elaborated.
