Abstract

Social work supervision is viewed here as going beyond the traditional emphases and focusing on the learning process between the supervisor and supervisee in a phenomenological and holistic approach. The Gestalt concepts of phenomenology of the here and now, intrajection, organization of elements into meaningful wholes, tendency for closure, and impasse are described as they apply to supervision. This approach focuses on teaching the social work supervisee a process for dealing with case situations as opposed to offering singular solutions to singular case situations. This enhances the social worker's sense of professional identity and improves client treatment.
