On Existential Supervision

https://doi.org/10.65828/2f5e2851Keywords:
existential supervision, supervision as 'over seeing', supervision as 'seeing over'Abstract
This paper examines the recurring question, raised by several authors, as to what existential supervision is and what, if anything, distinguishes it from other approaches to supervision. It proposes that while the 'over-seeing' aspects of supervision remain a dominant theme for many approaches to supervision, it is its 'seeing-over' emphasis that most distinguishes existential supervision and which permits its critique of various key assumptions surrounding the focus and purpose of supervision.
