37 work with clients, or because the client's possible "inner interlocutors" can be explored by identifying with them to gain a more differentiated understanding of their experience and behaviors. Clients who are personally unknown to the supervisor also become the subject of the Dialogic Triad. In conclusion, it can be said that the concept of the Dialogic Triad can be of great practical benefit in that it is helpful in accompanying our supervisees on the path to becoming their own supervisor. It even offers the opportunity to train their own "inner dialog partners" who reflect on, question, and positively influence the work process with clients. In this sense, the supervisees can then also support their clients in becoming aware of their "inner interlocutors" and getting to know themselves a little better, accepting themselves better and improving the way they interact with others. 6. CONCLUSIONS The concept of the Dialogic Triad developed within the conceptual framework of Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy [ 1 ] can also be applied very fruitfully in the field of clinical supervision. Paying careful attention to "inner conversations" can be of great benefit to the supervisor, the supervisee, and their clients in terms of reflection, differentiation, and expansion of their own options for action. Making the interaction between dealing with oneself and dealing with others a topic not only offers a very useful tool for us, our supervisees, and their clients in the process of self-exploration and self-efficacy, but also contributes significantly to obtaining a more differentiated, reflective view of dealing with oneself and others.
