Attachment and supervision

That's very helpful marcia and I think fits very well w attachment theory n creating new positive bonding relationships through the needed reciprocal roles.  Prevents negative transferece too.

Dear Anne, et al, 

I have found a new way to supervise a trainee director in action. Before they begin with the protagonist I say to the director, I would like to talk with you about the way I will supervise you . I would like to know what kind of parenting you had. Did you have a dominant, submissive, or abandoning mother ? What was she like towards you in giving you direction or help. What was your father like? Who was the dominant one between the two parents? The reason I am asking is that I don't want to repeat what you don't need and I would like to give you the kind of supervision that you may need." If they say, " My mother was overcritical, and dominant", I say, "Ok, how about I don't interrupt you until you feel you need help. Let's keep the relationship open and you can ask me anything,  as a supervisor,  when you feel you need it." If they say, " My mother was never around, abandoned me or never guided me, I say, " Ok, I could double you when I might have a suggestion, or/ and I could remain close enough by asking you what you are thnking, what you might like to do next, and keep an open contact but you'll know I am with you and guiding you when you need help.  " Something like that, I do. It has changed the quality of my supervision and the students report it is more spot on re: what they need from me, as supervisor/trainer.
