Reviews


"Competency-based" may be misnomer
This is a VERY thorough review of the literature pertaining to supervision. So much so, that it reads more like a dissertation than how to do good supervision, as the title may imply.

If one wants to know what is written about something, such as self-disclosure, this is a wonderful reference. If one is looking HOW to do supervision, with different levels of supervisees, in different settings, etc., one may be somewhat disappointed.

Clinical Supervision
I have not begun the class for which I purchased this book, but it appears to be informative and thorough.

A Superb and Thorough Work
This is a book for anyone doing supervision in a mental health field. It provides a much needed and innovative approach to supervision and includes material on strategies, diversity, legal and ethical considerations, role of personal values, evaluation, and disruptions to the supervisory process. There is a wealth of information and resources to enrich every level of supervision. It can be used as a text or for reference and contains excellent tools in the appendices.

A Great Text for Graduate Courses
This book reflects an intelligent, scholarly approach to a complex process that examines all aspects of competency in clinical supervision. The chapters dealing with diversity and ethics are outstanding, and the appendices provide a gold mine of practical guidance for both the supervisee and the supervisor. This is a must-read for academics, for practicum, internship, and postdoctoral supervisors, and for licensing regulators as well as a great text for much needed graduate courses.
-Asher R. Pacht, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Excellent text and reference
This is an incredible book. The breadth and depth is excellent with insight for the most sophisticated supervisor along with the less experienced. I was very pleased with the chapter layout and the inclusion of personal factors as well as the expansive sections on diversity, evaluation, and legal and ethical considerations in supervision. The panoply of evaluation tools in the Appendix are a bonus that more than justify the purchase of this volume.
