“…This implies that further research needs to be done on supervisory alliances in alternative models for group supervision; that is, peer group supervision (Counselman & Weber, ). In this respect, it would be interesting to remember Kalai's () distinction between individual supervision in the presence of a group and group supervision employing group processes. Berman and Berger () argue that employing group processes, that is reverie and matrix, can enhance the productivity of group supervision.…”

In this paper the author explores the ways in which a supervision group can be a source of ruptures in the supervisory alliance. Furthermore, the group's involvement in repair of the supervisory alliance is examined. The author draws upon empirical material from supervision sessions with a supervision group consisting of one supervisor and four novice psychotherapists conducting psychodynamic psychotherapy at a university clinic. Based on the work of W.R. Bion, the paper argues that, in group supervision, the supervisory alliance cannot be separated from the group processes in which it is embedded. The author concludes that a supervision group can affect the supervisory alliance negatively through group dynamics, or the alliance can be ruptured by other alliance formations that constitute themselves in group supervision. However, a supervision group can contribute to the repair of the supervisory alliance by supporting the supervisee, compensating for the supervisor's imperfection and supporting the supervisor.

“…(Berman and Berger, 2007: 245) Thus, a collective 'group reverie' is co-created by associations and associations to associations in a similar way to what Foulkes (1964: 117) termed 'free floating discussion'. Kalai (2007) bases her supervision model on a Winnicottian 'squiggle-like-reverie' input from group members in a similar way to Berman and Berger.…”

Reverie, like love, is difficult to define yet easy to acknowledge when present. Like the container and the contained-reverie refers more to a state of mind, to a process, than to a concrete, momentary entity. Bion centralized this concept in the heart of the psychoanalytic discourse, and Ogden gave the term a more practical application. Foulkes had no explicit reference to the concept, yet we might suppose that his 'free floating discussion' is one example of his implicit interest with the idea of reverie experiences in the group. This article will introduce the concept of reverie and its implementations in both individual and group settings. A detailed clinical vignette of my group-analytic group will be presented and discussed, demonstrating how I (sometimes manage to) work with clinical facts in my room.

A narrative review of group analytic literature on clinical supervision: Seeking coherence and correspondence

A systematic narrative literature review was carried out with the aim of identifying key themes in the group analytic literature on clinical supervision, and to inform the development of theory, practice and research in this area. The systematic literature search identified 103 relevant publications, nearly all involving case vignettes of supervisory practice and theoretical reflections on group analytic supervision, with only a handful of published research studies in this field to date. Four core themes were identified in this literature, indicating what group analysts have considered to be the key functions of clinical supervision—one primary theme: Providing critical holding and containment, and three other themes radiating out from this primary concern: Supporting capacity to bear and process emotionally, sustaining ability to think deeply and widely, and counteracting isolation and enabling creative exchange. The nature of each of these themes is elaborated, and this material is critically considered in terms of the group analytic contribution to the clinical supervision field (considering theoretical coherence) and its relationship with the wider literature on supervision (considering correspondence with other disciplines). In conclusion, some implications and recommendations are outlined.
