Abstract
Supervision of psychoanalytic therapy practitioners can be divided into three career developmental phases. Novice therapists need instruction about mental functions that make dynamic techniques efficacious. Journeyman therapists do better when technical matters regarding conflict and defense are the focus. Supervision of master therapists allows for more free-flowing mutual associations, intersubjective interchanges, and mutual attainment of interpretive approaches.
