Clinical Supervision: Conversations Between a Psychoanalyst and a Gestalt Therapist

Led by Donna Orange, Ph.D and Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D.

This didactic and experiential workshop will present some ideas that Donna and Lynne each hold regarding the practice of supervision. The format will include brief lectures on various topics they find important in their supervision and consulting work. Also included will be live supervision followed by discussion of supervisory themes that can be derived from the live demonstration. Finally, there will also be some small “break-out” group experiences.
