Abstract
When training psychologists, the supervision-internship-teaching tripod is essential for the development of professional skills. However, the close relationship between these three spheres sometimes leads to a nebulous understanding of the praxis concerning each of these fields. In the light of Bakhtinian dialogism and intersubjectivity, this article analyzes the construction of meanings about internship supervision by verifying the ambiguities related to this activity. The ambiguities grounded on the formative tripod were shown to lead to tensions in intersubjective relations and served as basis to construct new meanings about the supervision activity. These meanings are built through negotiation with other identities that permeate this training activity and the context in which they are carried out. Therefore, studies of this nature provide a broader understanding of theoretical/practical knowledge concerning the zone of supervision, which in turn can lead to the construction of facilitating strategies in the training of psychologists.
