With detailed case examples, this volume skilfully demonstrates the various roles supervisors play, from monitor and advisor, to role model, consultant, and mentor. The unique importance of supervisory competencies, including counselling skills, case conceptualization, ethical practice, intra and interpersonal awareness, and self-evaluation, are examined in depth.
This book describes the dynamic interplay between various supervisory "systems," including the client, trainee, supervisor, functions, learning tasks, and setting. Understanding these systems and the interplay between them is the foundation of a thriving supervisory relationship.
