The Role of Self Awareness in Social Work Supervision

Abstract

This paper explores the social worker's understandings of the similarities and differences between the processes of therapy and the development of case-related self-awareness within supervision. Various definitions of supervision are explored in relation to practical examples. Research findings provide an alternate approach to understanding the boundaries between therapy and case-related self-awareness. It is suggested that the ambiguities which are inherent in working towards self-awareness can be overcome where the supervisor has a clear concept of supervision and can thereby maintain a clear focus.
