Inheriting both a Gestalt posture in Object relations gestalt therapy and the tools from the Vittoz approach, the author differentiates integrative supervision from other forms of supervision and seeks to show the importance of emotional skills as a common base for all training and as a specificity of each therapist.The activation of these emotional skills allow the integration not only of different approaches but also the activation of this vital process: the “enhanced self” of bodily awareness which the author attempts to define as “the laboratory”.
