GERCHMANN, Augusta LEITE, Paula Daudt Sarmento. The living dimension of the didactic supervision experience. Rev. bras. psicanál []. 2021, 55, 4, pp.175-189. ISSN 0486-641X.
This paper regards a supervisory experience for analytical specialization purposes in an Institute of Psychoanalysis, developed by the analyst and supervisor involved in the task. The authors, based on an analysis of the historical dimension of supervision on the tripod of psychoanalytic training, propose a reflection on the supervision's role in the process of becoming an analyst. The study leads the authors to believe that, just as the analysis itself is an endless task, the intrapsychic forces that are permanently at stake in the encounter of the analyst with the patient generate a demand that calls for the dialogue in the supervision, which seems to contain the paradox of discovery without colonization. In conclusion, the authors consider that, while the task of supervision promotes new meanings, it should not become an exercise of indoctrination.
