Drs. Buechler and Goren each take a different vantage point on the underlying dynamics in supervision gone wrong, and what it is about the supervisor, supervisee, and the institutional framework that might contribute to such events. While Dr. Buechler focuses more on the idiosyncratic personality of the supervisor and the experience of shame among candidates, Dr. Goren's discussion centers more around the question of what is and is not a boundary violation, along with asking what constitutes legitimate inquiry within the supervisory relationship. I believe the salient theme that all of our papers have in common is the dilemma around what is deemed speakable and what must be kept tacit. As with any trauma, it is the silencing of affect, cognition, and experience that ultimately leads to shame, humiliation, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma in any family, whether that system be one's actual or analytic family.
