Abstract

Peer supervision is a dynamic process which highlights constructive and supportive feedback among therapists while minimising feelings of being evaluated. Some of its benefits include decreased dependency on the expertise of a supervisor, freedom, and equality. In this article, we outline the benefits of peer supervision between a dramatherapist and a family therapist and how their common roots based on creativity and action-based approaches could be used remotely to enhance the goals of peer supervision. We discuss how we utilised such methods and more specifically role reversal in a virtual space during the first Covid-19 lockdown to facilitate the process of peer supervision and understand better the needs and perspective of the client. We propose that incorporating creative and spontaneous methods such as role reversal in a virtual peer supervision environment can potentially enhance the supervisory alliance and therapeutic practice.
