Learning from Failures, Faults & Fiascos
2023: Volume 7: Issue 1 ■ Agnes Turner Learning from mistakes and failure is an essential part of personal growth and development. It is often said that we learn more from our failures than from our successes because mistakes provide us with valuable feedback and insights that we can use to improve our future performance. Professional failures can be unpleasant and demotivating, but they are also an important opportunity for personal and professional growth. By taking responsibility, reflecting, identifying the lessons, applying them and also learning from the mistakes of others, we can improve our knowledge and skills to achieve better results in the future. In this issue of the ANSE Journal we look at the learning opportunities in the context of mistakes and mistake culture and discuss this in the context of supervision and coaching. Life planning and career paths may have disruptions that could be seen as failures at first glance. But it is precisely these supposed detours and painful experiences - cracks in life - that provide a great opportunity to learn and discover something new. A number of contributions address this issue and point out that it is exactly these life experiences that make us stronger or more resilient.The fact that the unconscious plays a role in our so-called parapraxes is also discussed in this issue and illustrated with examples from supervision. In further succession, a number of articles deal with the learning processes and enormous potential for development - the focus is always on the practice of supervision and coaching. One’s own perspective on mistakes is crucial, as is finding strategies, and this is where supervision can come in. With this issue, we will gain insights into the experiences of supervisors, who tell us in a very lively way about their view of errors and error culture. The European perspective is also explicitly represented in this issue, asking about the knowledge society in Europe. With this issue, a few changes in the Editorial Board are to be noted. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Sijtze de Roos for his wonderful work for the ANSE Journal! New to the ANSE editorial board is Gerian Dijkhuizen - welcome, we are very happy to have you in our circle. Gerian is already well known to us through her columns. This part of the ANSE Journal has been taken over by Sveindis Anna Jóhannsdóttir from Iceland. We are looking forward to your columns and thank you very much. Since the beginning of 2023, I have been able to take over the position of Chief Editor and thank the community for the trust they have placed in me. There are two innovations since this issue: firstly, we have set up a book corner. Books on supervision and coaching will be presented here on an ongoing basis. We are happy to receive suggestions and recommendations. Secondly, we have created a rubric with the title: Did you know?. Here we want to inform briefly and concisely about results and events in the ANSE community. By the way, did you know that in the summer of 2023 the Summer University will take place in Budapest with the title “With Words and Beyond - Values and Identity in an Incomprehensible World”? More information can be found at https://anse.eu/activities/summer-universities. See you there and remember, learning from mistakes and failure is a lifelong process. So, let’s go for it! ■
GratisSummer University Keynotes and Workshops on Human Empowerment in an Environment of Elevated Uncertai
2022: Volume 6: Issue 2 ■ Sijtze de Roos You probably haven’t missed it, but when still in doubt you might remember this happy fact from our previous issue: ANSE is 25 years young this year. We joyfully celebrated this in different ways, such as in Riga, during the ably organized ANSE Summer University of 2022. A happy event indeed. With Covid19 apparently fading away, we were finally able to meet in person again. Our Latvian colleagues did their very best to make participants from all over Europe feel welcome to join in the program. And how they managed this! The stimulating environment was not only a joy to the eye, but provided extra inspiration as well. For an impression of the location - the strikingly beautiful National Library of Latvia - please have a look at the photo to the right. All in all - organisation, environment and content - we can say that everything contributed to a stimulating and instructive conference. Yet although it certainly went fine, the nearby Ukrainian war cast its shadow over the proceedings, over Riga, over the entire Baltics and indeed over all of Europe and beyond. To cite just one example: while the Summer University was in full swing, less than a mile away from the conference venue the megalomaniac “Monument of the Liberation of Soviet Latvia” was brought down unceremoniously. “Good riddance”, most Latvians must have thought. To them, it symbolized the cruel Soviet oppression of the past; a memory made even more horrifying by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The conference program, too, allowed ample attention to the situation of our Ukrainian colleagues. Five Ukrainian supervisors presented an impressive keynote on ‘supervision during the war and the strength of the unconquered’; an inspiring performance, highlighting the importance of the conference topic: Power Dynamics. Highlighting, moreover, the serious consequences of this war for all of us. The impact of the war goes much further than Ukraine: it concerns the whole of Europe and indeed the cause of freedom and democracy worldwide. That is why we need to keep on supporting our Ukrainian colleagues. That is why we - on behalf of our Austrian colleagues of ÖVS - publish this call for continuing support: As you will remember, we at ÖVS together with the ANSE, this spring collected €E80,000 in donations for Ukraine. A big thanks to every donor! It allowed our Ukrainian colleagues to alleviate current needs, varying from baby food to walking frames, from insulin to chocolate, all kinds of medicine and first aid bags, night vision devices, binoculars and of course drinking water treatment and generators. We could tell beautiful and touching but above all cruel and heartbreaking stories. And it looks like the horror is far from over. This autumn, the Russian military is mercilessly targeting critical Ukrainian infrastructure, which means a winter without heating and often without water for local people. Cleaning for drinking water and solar generators are urgently needed. We therefore ask you again: help us to help. .... ■
GratisHistory
2022: Volume 6: Issue 1 ■ Sijtze de Roos The topic of this issue is history. But what is history? There are many academic papers on the nature of history, but in the end most of these seem to boil down to this: history is something that is ‘made’ today, recorded tomorrow and reflected on the day after, if at all. History itself is subject to history – or to be more precise – historiography is historical and thus subject to debate today, recording tomorrow and reflection the day after. History is made today. Everywhere. In Ukraine for instance. We have to mention the war against the Ukrainian nation and its people. We cannot introduce this issue without attending to it. It is happening now, nearby, and we want to understand how it affects our friends and colleagues in Lviv, Kyiv, Kharkiv, how they try to go on living, what they need, how we could support them and how it impacts the ANSE community. We all need to make sense of this. In trying to understand what is happening to us, we, too, make history together. Today. To be recorded tomorrow. To be reflected on later. This is history in the making and we are involved in it, whether we like it or not. We better be aware, though, because, as a well-known saying goes, if we neglect the present we will not understand our history, and if we don’t understand our history, how could we have a future? If we ever would want to show a picture like this one in the future, we should act today as if the attack on our Ukrainian colleagues is an attack on all of us. After all, are we not confronted, too, with the violation of the core values of our trade? That is why we have to determine our position, to show solidarity and offer concrete support. That is why ANSE rushed to help. That is why several national member organizations - notably our colleagues from ÖVS (Austria) - are in constant contact with Ukrainian colleagues, organizing relief supplies. That is why the ÖVS opened a centralized donation account, inviting sister organizations to join. And that is why we as editors, on March 2, released a statement saying that “we are saddened and outraged at the unsolicited, unnecessary and unheard of aggression against the free country of Ukraine and the senseless violence perpetrated against its citizens ( )”. In order to make sense, we need a sense of history. It therefore suits us to present eight articles on various aspects of the history of our trade. Nicolas Mathieu (France) opens the thematic section of this issue with a critical essay on the history of supervision, drawing our attention to the theoretical inconsistencies and practical risks that we all should question to better understand the inherent paradoxes of our present practice. Who will guard the guardians, is his question, how could supervisors be supervised themselves? Louis van Kessel (The Netherlands) goes on to discuss two highly important historical roots of supervision – social work and psychoanalysis – and their effects on the evolution of supervision into a discipline of its own.... ■
GratisDiversity & Plural Identities
2021: Volume 5: Issue 2 ■ Sijtze de Roos Diversity is not a local hype, a fancy upper middle class pre-occupation or a passing fad, it is part of the human condition. Not only is it a matter of class, age, sex, gender or ethnicity, but just as well of history, lifestyle, religion, education and of political and moral convictions, traditions and value systems. And not to forget of the impact of geography, climate and the accessibility of water and food. All these factors shape our diverse social, economic and political arrangements, our family and kinship structures and our individual sense of self. All these factors permeate every aspect and every minute of our daily life. It could be said that nothing is more communal than the ever so highly revered ‘personal identity’ of the individual. One could also argue that people are like diamonds: an impenetrable core with many outer facets. No intelligent and self-learning system, biological or artificial, understands itself completely, nor will it ever be completely understood by others. It then depends on where the light falls, if at least you are allowed to turn your manifold self to the sun. Or if the powers that be leave you free to develop your own narrative and help weaving the community you feel you belong to. Considering what people do to their own and each other’s real or imagined identity, we immediately deal with a political issue. At stake is the right to be different and to belong. At stake, too, is the concurrent moral duty to refrain from boxing people up in preconceived and prejudicial categories. People cannot - and therefore should not - be fixed to a single ‘identity’ based on just one feature like nationality, class, colour, gender or any other category that could be used to put - and keep - ‘the other’ in the readymade plugholes that ideology or the blind power of habit assigns them to. This brings us to the topic of this issue and its significance for our trade. Supervision and coaching are narrative in nature. All personal narratives reflect individually differing social experiences. What our clients bring forward will inevitably touch on the incidence of injustice, inequality, discrimination and of the willful or unthinking exclusion of - to name but a few examples - psychiatric patients, refugees or ‘strangers’. What we as professionals are challenged to do, and which different means and methods we could employ, is discussed under the heading ‘diversity and plural identities’. This thematic section contains six articles, interspersed and illuminated by three vignettes by, respectively, Jasmine Gill (UK), DeBorah ‘Sunni’ Smith (USA) and Isabelle Asseman (France), who eloquently share their various personal experiences and dealings with diversity. But we open with an essay by Lea Pelosi (Switzerland). She invites us to rethink the identity of self in reflection. A diverse world, she argues, doesn’t allow for unambiguous identification. Is putting our identity at stake problematic or could it be an opportunity for dynamic self-understanding differing from assimilation and self-optimization? What could supervision contribute to this?... ■
GratisDigitalization
2021: Volume 5: Issue 1 ■ Sijtze de Roos Threatened by corona, the world changed. Everything turned topsy turvy. All of a sudden it proved practically impossible to do even the simplest things and to perform even the most ordinary everyday tasks. Shopping, enjoying a cappuccino on a sidewalk café, picking a flic at the local cinema, visiting friends, meeting your lover (furtively or overtly), going to school, taking part in conferences or travelling to ANSE meetings; all of this and much more slipped out of our reach. All that we so easily took for granted turned out to be potentially corrupt, a source of contamination, a threat to our health. The world changed and we had to change with it. To stay connected we - as professional supervisors and coaches - were forced to turn to online technology, distance learning, video coaching or zoom supervision. Some of us were already comfortable with - and proficient in - the virtual channeling of human connections, others less so and some not (yet) at all. But none of us ever imagined that the switch to the online world would be so comprehensive and confront us so intensively with psychological, professional and technical challenges. And here we are, perforce finding new ways to deal with space and time and to practice our trade, exploring exciting new approaches, reinventing our social methodologies, adapting to screen-filtered human interaction. In less than two corona-ridden years we gathered and systematized heaps of experience. Behind our smart devices, screens and monitors we went through challenging and frustrating episodes, through ambiguous and - certainly also - joyful and even exhilarating online events. Is it not fitting that we dedicate this issue to the topic of digitalization, presenting a fine array of examples of dealing with such experiences? But before we come to that, let me first introduce our brand new Editorial Board. Up till now, Barbara Baumann, succeeded by Reijer Jan van’t Hul and since beginning last year by yours truly, took care of contacts with national editors, text acquisition and the final editing phase practically on their own. But since its formal installment on January 20th of this year, we may rely on a diverse and highly competent company of editors, gathered together in a full blown Editorial Board. These are the colleagues that from this issue on carry the load of this magazine for you:..... ■
GratisSupervision and Ethics
2020: Volume 4: Isseu 2 ■ Sijtze de Roos Trust, it would appear, is no longer self-evident. In the past, so they say, people ‘knew their place’ and more or less blindly trusted and followed the leaders of their particular social group, class or political party. nowadays trust seems to have turned into work. Trustworthiness must be demonstrated by, for example, transparency, authenticity, openness and integrity, all of which need guidance by codes of conduct and action protocols, and documentary proof by audits and visitation reports. But how reliable are organisations if they conveniently park their responsibilities with a special Chief Integrity Officer? Would that not amount to sheer tokenism, as, for instance, the conduct of commercial banking often shows? And how trustworthy are social professionals if they have their moral dilemma’s formally solved for them by referring to the code of conduct of their professional organisation? Morality by ticking off items on a checklist? How about supervisors and coaches? Clearly, in the course of their dealings with supervisees they live their ethical standards, or at least should try their best to do so. Their ethics are not only vested in personal experience, they are also grounded in the profession they share with colleagues and which they together shape in their professional associations. Hence the importance of shared ethics. So it came to be that, in Berlin, on the 22nd of September 2012, the 14th ANSE General Assembly adopted the ANSE Code of Ethics. According to the preamble, it is meant to serve as a guideline against which national organisations could measure their own codes of conduct, ethical guidelines and general moral principles. Its main purpose is to challenge supervisors and their professional associations all over Europe to always act according to moral requirements arising from the nature of supervision. Supervision is a communicative trade. Supervisors will radiate trust in their supervisees, in his or her potential, uniqueness and humanity. As trust implies the recognition of shared humanity, supervisees need to feel accepted, to feel at home with themselves, with others and the world around them, and to be free to be (or become) what they want to be. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that we open the thematic part of this issue with a long read by our Croatian colleagues Maca Cicak and Kristina Urbanc, titled The role of ethics in creating supervision a safe space. Jean-Paul Munsch (Switzerland) goes on to show what is needed to achieve ethical competence by practicing theory. The path to mastery is a never ending learning process, in which theory and practice merge. In other words: ethical conduct presupposes ethical reasoning and ethical reasoning informs ethical practice, as Liisa Raudsepp and Helena Ehrenbusch from Estonia make very clear. They share their experience with the creation of a development process to enhance ethical reasoning among the members of the Estonian national organisation for supervisors (ESCA), on their way showing the importance of institutional guidance and support. What kind of moral challenges may supervisors run into? In our second long read, Dr. Hans Bennink (The Netherlands) analyses how all of us are regularly confronted with d ilemmas due to conflicting moral obligations. In order to help supervisees reflect on these, supervisors need to understand the complexity of loyalty issues and are challenged to find ways to discuss these in a learning manner. But what to do when supervisees themselves display an ethos that is totally contrary to the moral foundation of supervision? In his captivating article’, Dr. Daniel Trepsdorf (Germany) explores ways to confront ‘the language of hate’ by empowering, democratic and non-violent means. Christof Arn (Switzerland) moves on with an overview of thousands of years of ethical deliberation relevant to present day consultancy, and Attila Szarka (Hungary) presents us with a literary account of the moral effects of clothing. What should a supervisor wear? It is not as easy as it sounds. We complete this issue with The use of creative techniques in supervision by Ineke Riezebos (The Netherlands), which may serve as the starting point of a regular column on this topic. We are working on that. Ideas are very welcome. Finally, Ulrike Mathias Wiedemann (Germany) reviews the (very) critical study Supervision auf dem Prüfstand for us. She presents an overview of research outcomes which the community of supervisors is well advised to take proper notice of. Are we really as effective as we think? Reality testing is the groundwork of reflection. And last but not least (but at the same time first of all), Gerian Dijkhuizen (The Netherlands) tops all this off with her regular column - right after this page - and her interview with our Spanish colleague Ioseba Guillermo. This interview is one in a long string which Gerian published in both the Dutch LVSC Newsletter and partly in our journal. They are now collected in a magazine that LVSC will make available free of charge to the visitors of the ANSE Summer University, next year in Riga (Latvia), and those of the 40th Anniversary Conference of the LVSC of 6 April 2021 in the Netherlands. For particulars and registration, please check the ANSE website and/or the website of your national organisation. I hardly have to say that - due to corona (and some other worries) - we now live through barren times. That should, however, not deter us from enjoying our trade and the possibilities of professional exchange this journal offers. The topic of our next issue is ‘digitalisation and supervision’, which is, I think, a very timely theme. Please show us the (digital) loopholes you found to keep communicating, and let us have your visions and experiences. Let me finish wishing you this: however sober, do enjoy Christmas and have a happy new year. Let peace prevail.■
GratisReflection and reflective learning for editors
2020: Volume 4: Isseu 1 ■ Agnes Turner & Reijer Jan van ’t Hul We are really proud to present ANSE Journal Volume 4 – 2020 – Issue 1 with the title “Reflection and reflective learning”. As we all know, reflection is one of the core competences in supervision. Without reflection, there wouldn’t be a learning process. And so, it is in our editorial board. While we were finishing the latest issue of the journal last October, we discovered that editing and organizing a journal with quality and content is quite a heavy job. It is not only collecting and harvesting articles, but there is a lot more to do, like organizing the articles to a consistent and readable magazine. Many/Some of the national editors carry together with us this task. But we were also trying to find more editors, in which we didn’t succeed. So, we reflected, learnt and decided that we had to change something in the editorial board. We needed somebody with editorial experience, who knows the ANSE Community inside out. And although we didn’t know if we could ask him, we both had the same name in our minds: Sijtze de Roos. To us Sijtze would be the perfect Chief-editor to comment on articles, who is able to write in proper English and has a big network in and knowledge of the Supervision and Coaching community. We decided to take a chance and asked him. To our great honor, Sijtze responded positive and since January 2020 he is our Chief-editor for the next two years. And that was just the start of the development process. In the next months our aim is to build an editorial board with up to 6 or 7 editors, to reformulate our editorial guidelines and work out the themes for the next issues of the ANSE Journal. The current situation with the Corona-virus also made us reflect and forced us to be creative. The adaptation of new ways of online working opened new possibilities for videoconferencing and organizing editorial board-meetings. Six months ago, we would have been hesitant to organize this online, but after two months of lockdown, everybody is so used to online meetings, that it is not a threshold anymore. Although crisis and hurdles are not comfortable, they definitely provide a possibility for in-depth reflection and reflective learning. And there are more than one ways of reflection. This issue will teach us how multidimensional reflective processes and learning in Supervision and Coaching are. Particularly, the different theoretical and methodological as well as practical approaches of reflection and reflective learning strengthen the dialogue in our Supervision and Coaching community and therefore enriches our profession. Enjoy reading this ANSE Journal while having some nice reflective moments. ■
GratisBridging, connecting worlds through supervision and coaching
2019: Volume 3: Isseu 2 ■ Agnes Turner & Reijer Jan van ’t Hul …. was this year’s theme of ANSE Summer University in Bolzano Italy from 25th until 29th of August. It was a relevant and up to date theme, as we find ourselves more confronted with tension of separation and polarization in our society. Because we as supervisors are confronted in our work with clients, it is why it is important to discuss these topics here in the context of Supervision. – whether on a personal, ethical or political level in national organisations. ANSE builds bridges between the supervisors and coaches in Europe between the countries and national organisations, between different approaches of supervision, methods, tradition and wants to connect while always keeping the most possible diversity. It’s not about that we all do and think the same, it’s much more about the bridging between different landscapes and idea and again it’s is about the question – what happens on the bridge and where do we go. Supervision and coaching can be the vehicle for understanding, learning, development, change management and so on. It was a successful week with over 120 participants from 15 countries. During the week there were 7 keynotes, 17 workshops and 3 ANSE-platform presentations, study groups and social events. This ANSE Journal is dedicated to the Summer University and therefore it is titled “Bridging, connecting worlds through supervision and coaching”. We asked all keynote speakers and workshop leaders to share their presentation, outcome or summary of the workshops. We are very proud to present 15 articles of the Summer University 2019. This ANSE Journal represents the diversity in our community, it shows a range of theoretical and practical articles. We tried to use the possibilities of a digital Journal, by placing hyperlinks to YouTube movies, or slides of the PowerPoint presentations. The first four articles are written by the keynote speakers, Wolfgang Looss and Sara Niese, Marjaana Gunkel, Silvia Sacchetti and an interview with Brigitte Geissler-Piltz and Karin Herrmann. After these articles, the summaries of the workshop leaders are presented in random order. Of course, there is the column of Gerian Dijkhuizen and one of the interviews she did for the LVSC in this ANSE Journal. This time an interview with Ruslan Goshovskyi from Ukraine, the president of the Ukrainian Association, full ANSE member since last year. We are very happy with the beautiful pictures of Gabriel Scherer (Instagram @getaoutandcapture). Gabriel has a talent for capturing the atmosphere of the week. Every morning during Summer University he presented his pictures of the day before. A selection of 250 of his pictures can be found at the ANSE website. The cover of this Journal has been designed by Waldemar Kerschbaumer, www.adpassion.it/de/ He turned the logo of the Summer University into the ANSE colors. In that way we made the circle round for this ANSE Journal. Special thanks go to Gerian Dijkhuizen, because she started video-blogging for the LVSC during Summer University. Every day she interviewed participants and we posted them on our Facebook. This gave a very lively view on what was happening in Bolzano. For everyone who missed it, the interviews are still available. We hope you enjoy reading this ANSE Journal and get back into the good vibes of ANSE community during a Summer University. ■
GratisEducation of supervision and coaching, an interesting matter
2019: Volume 3: Isseu 1 ■ Agnes Turner & Reijer Jan van ’t Hul After the ANSE board was elected during the General Assembly in Budapest in October 2018, we had to divide tasks into our portfolio. We took a whole day in January to do this and Agnes put her name immediately at this task but Reijer Jan didn’t feel any challenge to write or to publish articles. Reijer Jan checked what tasks he really would like to do, but also posted his name to tasks with not so many names on it. And now one of his main tasks is the ANSE-journal. In this case it is the same as it is with education, you have to step out of your comfort zone, to learn something, and that is what Reijer Jan did and we decided to work for ANSE journal in a team and continue this successfully! In the first place we want to thank Barbara Baumann for all the efforts that she made, starting the ANSE-journal from scratch and now there is a group of national editors, a nice-looking Journal and the goal to publish ANSE-journal twice a year. Also, the topics for the next four editions are set, so it was not that hard to take over this task until now. Barbara, you put the standards high and we will do what we can do to keep this Journal alive, thank you very much. Within the last General Assembly of ANSE the topics quality and education were on the top of the list. Delegates and presidents for the member countries stated that these are all over Europe main issues within the national organization. The contains revising quality standards in educational programs for Supervision and Coaching but also learning about and implementing new and broader approaches of supervisory skills and competences in educational programs and lifelong learning settings such as intervision groups or conference. Talking about conference, in line with the topic education the first conference on Teaching Supervision and Coaching took place in Frankfurt in November 2018. In this edition of the ANSE-journal you can find an article about reflection on the first ANSE conference about Teaching Supervision and Coaching written by Ineke Riezebos. It was an inspiring conference and we set the goal to organize a conference again in spring 2022. The other articles are from Switzerland, The Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Latvia, Estonia and this provides a nice map of how supervision and coaching is taught in Europe. We get a great overview on the differences and the similarities in the programs throughout Europe and the diversity is also visible in the different points of view, from supervision, coaching, intervision and meta-supervision. Great thanks go again to Gerian Dijkhuizen for writing the ANSE column – this time about the practices of lifelong learning. Behalf of the ANSE board and all national editors we wish you a joyful and fruitful time reading the journal. ■
GratisPolitics and social responsibility: effect and influence in and through supervision / coaching
2018: Volume 2: Isseu 1 ■ Barbara Baumann This is the topic of the 2nd ANSE Journal. After the first topic “Quality”, to immediately draw attention to the political and social responsibility of supervision - too detached? We think and hope that the articles in this issue will stimulate reflection on one’s own attitude to the subject, collegial exchange and discussion in many places with different people. “Talking is working on the meaning of situations; understanding is grasping a situation in its meaning.” This aphorism by the philosopher Hermann Schmitz was certainly not coined with a view to supervision and coaching and yet he describes in a focused way what happens in the supervisory process. The issues, cases, questions and concerns that supervisors bring forward are given meaning through speach and the supervisory process is about understanding and grasping their significance. This significance does not only refer to the person of the supervisee, but also to the professional role, the organisation in which she or he works and not infrequently the social significance also becomes visible. And vice versa. Social and political developments influence organisations and the people who work there. To keep an eye on these interactions, to understand them in their dynamics and to develop constructive possibilities for action and behaviour is always the task and goal of supervisory processes. Therefore, supervisors are repeatedly called upon to deal with political and social changes. Economization, digitalization, globalization, migration - just four keywords that currently shape many socio-political discourses that have a massive influence on the world of labor and on people. These are also topics supervisors have to deal with reflexively, on which they have to develop an attitude. It is not coincidental that the first two articles in this issue are lectures. Jubilees, celebrations, conferences are always occasions to ascertain fundamental attitudes. Both Sijtze de Roos’ speech on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Croatian Supervision Association and Monique Castillo’s lecture, which was written on the occasion of an anniversary in Mexico but was also held once again this year at a conference of the French Supervision Association, address fundamental questions of orientation and attitude. The health sector today is certainly an area of many changes, which reflect social and socio-political change processes and in which political and social responsibility must be discussed and assumed. The article by Kristel Kotkas underlines the importance of supervision in this area, taking Estonia as an example. But how do individual supervisors position themselves on the topic of this issue? The interview conducted by Ineke Riezebos with Seyda Buurman Kutsal gives an example and the questions of the interview can be understood as a model to interview oneself and collegially discuss political and social responsibility and to enter into a collegial dialogue. The aim of the ANSE Journal is to make the diversity and significance of supervision in Europe visible. For this reason, we have added a new category to the journal. In each issue we now want to introduce a supervisor from somewhere in Europe. Gerian Dijkhuizen introduces a German colleague, Per Wolfrum from Berlin. Both worked together for a long time in an ANSE International Intervision Group. We hope that this second issue of the ANSE Journal will give readers a lot of pleasure, reading and discussing with colleagues, supervisors, clients and other in many different places. ■
