[Fine tuning an analytic supervision].

Abstract

With a casuistry we tried to show how disturbances in the free-floating attention of the reporter, which take on the character of micro-symptoms, can be based on the structural similarity of experience moments of therapist and patient; we were able to show how these experience moments influenced the report of an analytic supervision group. Only after a third person joined the others, the triangular relationship within the supervision, was it possible to consciously perceive the structural similarity. Within such a triangular relationship, where the person opposite can always also be seen through the eyes of a third party, it is possible that the capabilities of self-reflection and self-evaluation, which characterize the analytic attitude, can develop via identifications.
