Approaches in Supervision – Servaas van Beekum

Supervision has grown into an important procedure and resource for promoting professionalism in many fields, especially those that have a high degree of independent responsibility and in which creativity is more important than following learned procedures. Communication is essential, and a complex context (social, organizational, interpersonal, and intrapsychic) must be taken into account. Contemporary supervision involves a process of continued oscillation between practice and meta-reflection.

This event is opened to practitioners at all levels and fields.

Servaas van Beekum is a social scientist with a special interest in analytic, systemic and humanistic approaches in psychotherapy and consulting. He is a past president of both EAA and ITAA and a founding member of international associations for supervision and of associations that study unconscious process in groups and organizations. He has written over 30 articles and book chapters and was awarded with the 2015 Eric Berne Memorial Award for his work to bring back the concept of the unconscious into transactional analysis. He is active as a psychotherapist, corporate psychologist and strategy consultant. After being born, raised, educated and having worked in Europe, Servaas moved to Sydney some 20+ years ago, rebuilding and continuing his practice. Since Covid he has moved most of his international teaching and workshopping online.
