Abstract
This paper examines how attachment processes interface with transference and countertransference dynamics that emerge through parallel process in the supervisor–therapist–client triadic relationship. Attachment establishes the groundwork for regulating distress that surfaces when transferences or countertransferences become activated in treatment and supervision. Attention to attachment styles helps prevent and resolve transference reenactments in the supervisory triad. Secure attachment within the supervisory relationship is linked to the self‐reflection and affect regulation of the professionals, which then influences the therapist's attunement to, and regulation of, the client's affect in psychotherapy. A case presentation illustrates the role of attachment in clinical supervision.
