Description
Summary:This paper addresses the use of reflective practice as central to the delivery of two M.Sc. interprofessional practice programmes for experienced practitioners from a variety of disciplines, who work with survivors of intentional and unintentional violence. The principle on which the programmes are founded, and the underlying theoretical framework are discussed. A central assumption is that the ownership and valuing of lived experience is an essential component of reflection and hence practice development. Violence violates boundaries, therefore students' reflective work is facilitated by two lecturers, allowing 'mutual supervision-in-action' between them. The paper explores the value of supervision for the facilitators' own reflective practice upon conscious and unconscious processes when working with the dark side of the human psyche. The safety provided by supervision enables the growth and sensitivity of the internal supervisor within the facilitators and the students, with resulting transformation of practice.
