Supervision in der Psychodrama-Psychotherapieausbildung

Supervision of trainees is an important step in psychodrama training. Theoretical and methodological aspects of the training are to be linked by reflecting psychotherapeutic work of trainees. The article describes and discusses one case study of systematic reflection on supervision in psychodrama training. The focus is to evaluate to what extend the objectives in supervision are met and which methodological factors in supervision are helpful and supportive in this learning process. The article also investigates the level of distress on the trainees in their psychotherapeutic work, and to what extend it can be reduced in supervision. In order to investigate the sustainability of these effects the trainees are asked to give their feedback immediately after supervision and a second time after about two to four weeks. The outcome of this study depicts, that the objectives in supervision are met on a high level, and that supervision has positive effects in reducing distress of trainees. The results suggest that especially by enactment in supervision distress can be reduced in a sustainable way.
