The objective of this article is to present a reflection on the characteristics of the practice of supervision in psychosocial care services for families. This is not a document necessarily oriented to clinical practice, but that it draws on it to make contributions to the interdisciplinary teams that accompany related processes. The methodology used consisted of reviewing the supervision procedures, phases and scenarios, emphasizing conversation as the raw material for this practice. From a systemic and constructivist approach, the exercise of supervision stands out as an ethical obligation from the point of view of the enormous responsibility that the processes of intervention with families embody, as well as from the necessary self-care of professionals and institutions.
