CONFIDENCE AND THE ABILITY TO COPE WITH CONFRONTATION
Irena Bezić
Abstract
The relationship of acceptance and confrontation is the basis of the development in the supervision setting. The supervisory process is an asymmetrical process in which the supervisor, if he or she neglects the component of acceptance of the supervisee as he or she is, creates possibilities for hurting the supervisee’s feelings through confrontation. At the same time, confrontation opens the path to solve the problem. Understanding supervision as a creative process strengthens the supervisee’s self-confidence, therefore it is important for the supervisor to take into account what stimulates, and what inhibits the supervisory process in the sense of actively asking relevant supervisory questions.
Keywords
