Organisational History

In 1987 a groups of supervisors who were developing training in supervision from a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic perspective started an organisation called the Group for the Advancement of Therapy Supervision. As this grew the need for a more structured organisation was required and in September 1995 the members agreed to form the British Association for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Supervision.

Its purpose is to provide a body to register trained and qualified supervisors who fulfil the entry requirements and to provide a forum to develop thinking and understanding of the dynamics and process of supervision within psychoanalytic and psychodynamic work.
BAPPS runs conferences for members and non-members and runs other events as required and is actively involved in the development of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic supervision.
It provides a register of members who are qualified supervisors to those who are seeking a supervisor.
