Doctoral study is a complex process, and the critical and overarching factor is the quality of supervision. The article presents reflections on a doctoral supervision from the perspective of the supervisee. Key themes to emerge from these reflections on the role of the supervisor and experiences in the supervision process are: inauguration to academia - this involves the socialization and familiarization of the doctoral student with the requirements of the institution; dynamic disequilibrium - this involves the supervisor challenging the doctoral student into new ways of thinking that can sometimes be uncomfortable; and collaborative approaches - this is a model of supervisory dialogue that enhances integrative work between supervisor and supervisee.
