Music therapy supervision with trainees in adult psychiatry

This chapter focuses upon supervising trainees who are near the end of their training in the psychiatric setting. A case study approach is taken whereby the parallel process of a final-year supervisee and a supervisor will be examined from the inside. This internal perspective draws and reflects upon the supervisee's experience first hand, because the supervisee contributes vignettes from his own unique experience. In particular, dealing with disturbances arising from group members who are psychotic, and the importance of understanding and accepting the negative transference through supervision, lie at the heart of the process described.
