  • Title: The holding/containment function in supervision groups for group therapists.
    Author: Moss E.
    Journal: Int J Group Psychother; 2008 Apr; 58(2):185-201. PubMed ID: 18399738.
    Abstract:
    Group supervision is essential for group therapists, given the difficulty of following and reflecting on the multiplicity of processes in therapy groups and the unique opportunity of exploring them as they resonate and become enacted in the supervision group. More specifically, the paper discusses the critical function of holding/containment in supervision groups. Clinical vignettes are presented to highlight the importance of the holding/containment function and the obstacles that hinder its emergence. The role of the therapist's interpretations as a primary means for ensuring effective holding and containment is examined.
