Group supervision is applied in many organisations as a part of the continuing development of competencies and well-being at an individual level and of the development of the professional field. We experience a problem concerning some of these methods applied to group supervision – that they focus too unilaterally upon the individual and upon conscious, rational considerations about specific solutions. Supervision can, for that reason, ensure that supervisors maintain a perspective centred on themselves as individuals and lead to instrumental expectations of the outcome, where the socially constituted and constituting basis of the professional field is left out. However, when work is not an equation with one correct answer, another entry into meaning and action may be needed in the field of work as a search for new understandings and possible ways forward that lie outside the habitual discourse and professional frames of reference. Therefore, we have examined a so-called socioanalytic approach to group supervision for its potential to meet this shortage. It includes an inquiry into the unconscious, silenced and neglected aspects of sociality. Collegiate, professional sociality, which makes professional work possible in general, as well as the larger societal, organisational, and political sociality as context – that is a more comprehensive meaning of sociality. The article deals with this inquiry which has been performed as collaborative action research and has taken place in organisations working with human development and care.
