Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist considers how to meet
the supervision needs of trainee and experienced counsellors,
psychotherapists and other helping professionals using an integrative
approach that will appeal to practitioners from a broad range of
backgrounds and theoretical persuasions. The book charts the development
of the supervisor as he or she moves through making the transition from
therapist to supervising the work of others and includes consideration
of the advanced competencies required to supervise experienced
practitioners.
This third edition brings a number of contemporary perspectives to a
well-known and widely respected core text for the training and
development of supervisors. The Cyclical Model at the heart of the book
has established its relevance in the UK as one of the best known
frameworks for teaching and learning the steps and stages of
supervision. All chapters in this new edition have been extensively
revised and updated, and key elements include:
- Two brand new chapters on deepening supervision
practice and moving beyond supervising counsellors and psychotherapists
- Updates on recent developments in supervision,
including research outcomes, the use of technology and supervising
short-term work
- Creativity, play and the use of metaphor and
imagery in supervision
- Developing the use of self through
relational supervision.
Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist is a key text for
trainee and experienced supervisors of counsellors and psychotherapists,
those who train supervisors, and supervisees wishing to better
understand the supervisory process.
