Structured peer group supervision: Systematic case reflection for constructing new perspectives and solutions

Abstract

This article reflects on the experiences of Estonian social work undergraduate students with a five-phased structured peer group supervision model, consisting of information, clarification, analysis, feedback and reflection phases. This kind of systematic case reflection enables the generation and critical exploration of new perspectives and solutions among those seeking to become professional social workers. Students emphasised that this model is a useful method for case supervision and that it is feasible to apply it after one-time or short training/experience.
