'''Parallel process''' is a phenomenon noted between therapist/social worker and supervisor, whereby the therapist recreates, or parallels, the client's problems by way of relating to the supervisor. The client's [[transference]] and the therapist's [[countertransference]] thus re-appear in the mirror of the therapist/supervisor relationship.
The client's [[transference]] and the therapist's [[countertransference]] thus re-appear in the mirror of the therapist/supervisor relationship, and may be usefully studied there.
