Aberastury describes six types of experience as fundamental for supervision in child analysis. 1, Studying the history given by the parents and attempting to predict the course of the first interview with the child; or 2, studying the first interview with the child before studying the history given by the parents. 3, Comparing the first interview with the parents and the first hour with the child with the data derived from subsequent sessions in the analysis of the child. 4, Performing what Aberastury calls 'style exercises' to find better ways for the analyst to interpret the material. 5, Attempting to 'translate' the adult language to the child's level and vice-versa, including a tentative approach as to what words the analyst will use in interpreting material produced by the child. 6, Having an essential knowledge of normal child development as contrasted with the pathological.
