This edited collection of 10 papers contains contributions from mainly European and English psychoanalytic scholars who give their views about the nature of supervision of individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy, including supervision of marginally trained therapists in such institutions as prisons and mental hospitals. This volume was published for the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Health Services (EFPP) and was also partially funded by a strong Swedish group, Riksforeningen Psykoterapi Centrum.
