Group Analytic Supervision uses group analytic concepts to cast light on how group supervision works, covering history, theory and practice.

Margaret Gallop and Margaret Smith illustrate the benefits that supervision can provide for post-qualification group supervision. This book offers a model of group analytic supervision, the clinical hexagon, to support supervisors of groups in thinking about their supervision group and its process. Gallop and Smith use vignettes to illustrate how supervision groups work together to broaden and deepen their understanding of their clients, including examples that demonstrate the benefits of this multi-perspective approach for therapists providing dyadic therapy. Group Analytic Supervision addresses several of the key tasks for supervisors of groups, including establishing and maintaining boundaries around the work, establishing good working relationships, working with parallel process, transference and countertransference. It describes using difference and diversity to enrich learning and it stresses the importance of self-care.

Group Analytic Supervision will be essential reading for anyone who is providing group supervision, particularly therapists who undertake group analytic training. It will also be of great interest to counsellors and therapists, social workers, probation officers and healthcare staff who both provide and receive group supervision.
