As far as supervisees are concerned, it is often seen as preferring autonomous behavior as well as supportive and facilitating relationships, while supervisors consider that the feedback given to supervisees as of paramount importance. 3. CONCLUSIONS By its nature, psychotherapy relies on a complex interpersonal process that encompasses both theory and practice, scientific aspects, but also art that deals with particular, individual aspects of those involved. Understanding the two concepts is easy. Often, for the supervisee or for those who are at the beginning of the activity and who have no experience, recognizing the moment of the transfer can be a difficult. The therapist often behaves in the relationship with the supervisor as the client does in therapy; conversely, the therapist answers the client as the supervisor does in their relationship. An appreciative view that underlines the strong points of the supervisee’s work requires supervisors to create a stronger support relationship, focusing on recent successes rather than questions, issues and frustrations. When the supervisee describes the recent achievements of his or her work, the supervisor can guide the discussion to an analysis of these successes, and explore with supervisee other cases, supporting the process of supervision by directing the activity to rebuild the situation. It is also important that the path adopted for the reconstruction of this parallel process to be aimed at facilitating the shift from issue-centred supervision to appreciative supervision and directing the supervisee towards the client’s strong points and the self-experienced situation in his relationship with his client [9]. Vîşcu describes the parallel process carried out in supervision as a model that speaks about the normal effect of the support function, performed by the supervision as being a „therapist’s support activity, centred on patient protection, often emerging a parallel process in the relationships dynamics: client-therapist and supervisee-supervisor.” [10] One must also underline the quality of supervision for the supervisee, the insights the supervisor can have on the supervisee (the ability to explain and in observe the supervisor relationship). On the other hand, the supervisor must realize that quality supervision is based on profound individual analysis: understanding personal needs and finding weaknesses, a good knowledge of the qualities and competencies, perceiving the role of the supervisor and his / her efforts to properly manage the supervision relationship.
