Summary

Supervision now has increased significance in the professional lives of mental health professionals, especially since the advent of voluntary and mandatory registration, managed care, and clinical governance. Little, however, has been written to address the practical and theoretical needs and questions of those involved. In Supervision in the Mental Health Professions, Joyce Scaife, along with her guest contributors, draws on over two decades of experience to illustrate ways of thinking about and doing supervision. Using practical examples, she explores often-encountered dilemmas including: How can supervisors facilitate learning? What are the ethical bases of supervision? What helps to create a good working alliance? Supervision in the Mental Health Professionsis a comprehensive, practical, and indispensable text for supervisors and supervisees involved in mental health, including counseling, psychotherapy, counseling psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work.
