Abstract

The "blind spot" may be regarded as a paradox for strengths. However, in this chapter the "blind spot" specifically refers not to typical deficits of supervisees, but to supervisees' unawareness of their strengths that, given the right circumstances, can be recognised, facilitated and developed. When this awareness occurs there is transformation within the supervisee as their strengths grow and develop. So rather than conceptualising "recognising of blind spots" as a disabling or deficit concept, this chapter sees it is an enabling strategy that can assist in identifying strengths and skills, and in the supervision of practitioners and their interventions with clients.
