As psychoanalytically trained supervisors, we are increasingly faced with the task of supervising practitioners whose trainings and clinical practice may be very different from our own. Psychoanalytic models continue to compete with an expanding range of trainings, some of which either pay scant attention to psychoanalytic principles or none at all, so effective supervision of different modalities is a pressing issue.  Multi-model clinical supervision groups have become the norm within many organisations. However, what might make immediate sense economically, leaves little space for thoughtful development of workable frameworks to meet the differing needs of supervisees.
