Resumen

Aunque las directrices de la American Psychological Association (APA) alientan a los supervisores clínicos a integrar la diversidad en todos los aspectos de la práctica y la supervisión, los modelos dominantes perpetúan sistemas hegemónicos como el imperialismo blanco eurocéntrico y el individualismo, que fomentan un enfoque universal hacia el adiestramiento. Por lo tanto, es imperativo reimaginar un enfoque antihegemónico de la supervisión que se centre en transferir el poder a las identidades particulares de la relación de supervisión. El presente artículo pretende ofrecer a los lectores una aplicación de la praxis de la liberación a las dinámicas de supervisión. La psicología de la liberación ofrece una guía para desarrollar una praxis de supervisión mediante el cultivo de la conciencia crítica de los sistemas opresivos. En este artículo, los autores proponen un marco que (a) humaniza la totalidad de las experiencias entrelazadas de clientes, supervisados ​​y supervisores; (b) invita a la colaboración a través de la interrogación de las dinámicas de poder; y (c) participa en la problematización (es decir, conciencia de oposición, desideologización y desnaturalización) diseñada para recuperar la memoria histórica y revisar las ideologías dominantes para que coincidan con las experiencias vividas de los grupos marginados, incluyendo la Mayoría Global. Los autores pretenden desafiar los modelos de supervisión existents que perpetúan el colonialismo y, por lo tanto, promover prácticas que interrumpen los métodos tradicionales de adiestramiento en supervisión y psicoterapia.
