Abstract
The objective of this research was to explore trainee practitioners’ experiences of the psychodynamic supervisory relationship and supervision. Eleven trainees were recruited and data were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Most of the trainees described strong supervisory relationships that enhanced their therapeutic practice and their accounts depicted features of the real relationship in supervision (Watkins, 2011, 2012). However, some of the participants discussed the consequences of challenging supervisor-supervisee dynamics. Future researchers studying negative supervisory relationships could explore if and how the absence of the real relationship in supervision contributes to problematic supervisory dynamics.
