“…While literature and research into psychotherapy supervision is large, research into group supervision is still sparse [35,36]. The Balint method is the best researched form of group supervision for GPs and mental health professionals.…”

Background: In Denmark group supervision for general practitioners is an established part of continuing professional development. Several different approaches are used, including Balint Groups and Bendix Groups. The aim of this paper is to describe the benefits and challenges of a peer group supervision model with the role of supervisor taken by group members in turn. The setting was a group of general practitioners using a patient-centred consultation model and videorecordings of consultations. Methods and material: As part of a larger study the first author studied this long-established group by observing three group sessions over a period of six months. She conducted two individual, semistructured interviews with each general practitioner who presented consultations at the observed sessions, and held a group interview with the entire group at the end of the observation period. The interviews were recorded digitally and transcribed verbatim. The data were analysed using systematic text condensation. Results and conclusion: Participation seemed to improve communication skills and the ability to take a more patient-centred approach. It increased job satisfaction and prevented burnout. A nonjudgemental environment, respect and acknowledgement of all participants were important for developing confidence and for supporting personal and professional development.

“…The IPA analyzed manifest material primarily, but it was later developed into a more comprehensive model, A System for the Multiple Level Observation of Groups (SYMLOG; Bales & Cohen, 1979), where latent dimensions involving a certain amount of interpretation were taken into consideration. In a study on role patterns in supervision groups, based on SYMLOG self ratings (Boalt Boëthius & Ögren, 2000), the results showed that the supervision situation, independent of training level, stimulated specific informal role patterns.…”

“…The importance of the group as a powerful teaching instrument is emphasized both by supervisors and supervisees (Boalt Boëthius & Ögren, 2000). Ögren and Jonsson (2003) found that group supervision at the basic training level had a distinct and beneficial effect upon the development of the supervisee's psychotherapeutic skills.…”

“…In a study of the development of role patterns in supervision groups (Boalt Boëthius & Ögren, 2000), the results showed that, over time, the supervisees and supervisors experienced that they gradually became close to each other, and, in addition, the supervisees felt that their position in the group changed in a positive direction. Empirical studies of differences in perceived knowledge attainment and group interaction (Sundin & Ögren, submitted b;Ögren & Sundin, 2005) and group climate (Sundin & Ögren, submitted a) in supervisees admitted by an interview and by the traditional procedure respectively suggested that both groups of supervisees attained a substantial amount of knowledge, developed more stable and mature relations to the supervisor and peers, and a more beneficial group climate over time.…”

The main purpose of this study was to examine a set of independent group variables (group size, gender composition, and supervisory style) in group supervision, and their interrelation with supervisees' and supervisors' view on group interactions, group climate, and attained skill. The study also examined changes over time in supervisees' and supervisors' ratings. Results from hierarchical regression analysis indicate that the group variables measured in this study are interrelated with perceived psychotherapeutic knowledge and skills attainment, group interaction, and group climate. The participants experienced a positive change over time with regard to attainment of knowledge and skills, group interaction, and group climate. Supervisors were more likely to experience a positive change whereas supervisees, and especially supervisees on the basic level, tended to present more stable ratings over time. These data underline the utility and importance of studying group supervision in psychotherapy from a small group perspective.

“…Compared to individual supervision, supervision in group contributes to an even greater degree to the complexity of the supervisory situation. If this form of supervision is to be used effectively as a teaching format, more knowledge about the dynamics of the small group is of vital importance (Boalt Boëthius & Ögren, 2000;Hawkins & Shohet, 2000;Proctor & Inskipp, 2001). In addition to the frequent use of knowledge about supervision that has been accumulated within the long tradition of individual supervision, there are several routes that could be tried.…”

Beginner supervisees (n = 84) and their psychotherapy supervisors who worked in 28 supervision groups in an academic training context participated in this study. SYMLOG self-ratings of actual and ideal experiences of the group interactions were collected at three measurement points: the beginning, middle, and end of the supervision. The main purpose was to examine group members' (supervisees and supervisors) experiences of patterns of polarization in terms of development of subgroups within the supervision group, and group culture in terms of flexibility. The results showed that, for the majority of groups, experiences of patterns of interaction, as measured at the three measurement points, involved changes in role functions or degree of polarization among group members. The group members tended to become slightly more satisfied with their informal roles and the group culture over time.
