This article explores the concept of parallel process and proposes that it provides a connection between the relational fields of therapy and supervision as well as between theory and practice. The author defines parallel process, with reference to neuroscientific research, and then links it to transactional analysis theory. Examples of supervision in the clinical field as well from individual and group supervision are provided. The article also considers the concept of parallel process as a connecting point between didactic and supervising functions of supervision and among different practices in psychotherapy.
