Gendlin and Passionate Supervision
Focusing may offer a means to understand the 'teche logos' of phronesis. Phroneisis is the 'risky' aspect of passionate supervision that is also the core of passionate supervision. Enough here for a "Potential research directions" style article. Journal "Reflective Practice' asks for such.

Focusing may offer a means to understand the teche logos of phronesis. Phroneisis is the 'risky' aspect of passionate supervision that is also the core of passionate supervision. By offering a means to better understand phronesis I may be able to put passionate supervision on stronger foundations, making it more acceptable and less 'dangerous' to practice given the requirements of professional organisations.
Steps: Draft article (will need to check that I have considered all the necessary material on Focusing/Gendlin's theory of meaning and passionate supervision), decide on journal (likely Refelctive Supervision), contact Owen, Smythe, Shohet etc. and ask for feedback if this seems like a good idea. Ask for feedback from others. Richard Charmley I think authored something in this field. Submit article.
The material is mainly drawn from an essay I wrote for PROFSUPV704. The most imptt parts to pay attention to are the section called Phronesis, the section called Endnote and footnote 8.

Note extracted from Omnifocus:
P.130 in Journey of the Heart says stuff I connect with the "ah ha" moments of Passionate supervision. Look back at my essay from PROFSUPV704 and also the case study to a lesser extent for the connections between this style of supervision and GENDLIN and MINDFULNESS. There are research projects here.
