Collaborative Inquiry as Research: An Exploration of Embodied Gestalt Group Supervision

Abstract

Abstract A collaborative inquiry approach to researching embodied Gestalt group supervision highlights the way a phenomenological and relational field perspective supports the cocreating of practice-based knowledge. A brief overview of this dynamic and reflexive approach is offered. Three key themes emerging from this research are discussed and critiqued to support supervisees and supervisors interested in embodied forms of group supervision. Considerations are offered for supervisors wishing to develop an embodied approach to their group work.
