Clinical Supervision in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling: Principles, Models, Methods

by David J. Powell

This groundbreaking work, now available in paperback, is the standard text for the training and education of supervisors in substance abuse counseling. The blended model of treatment presented here is a synthesis of several established schools of therapy, and utilizes developmental, psychodynamic skills, and family therapy perspectives. Firmly grounded in both theory and practice, this book offers methods of supervisory contracting, observation, case presentation, modeling, intervention, and evaluation. Ethical and legal concerns are also addressed. Clinical Supervision provides the knowledge base that substance abuse supervisors will need in the coming years.

Very informative

This book was very helpful in that it offered many examples and specific questions to ask. The material is dry but how can anyone make it exciting? The author did a good job in attempting to keep the reader interested. Overall, the book covered numerous aspects of supervision and it should be recommended to new supervisors.

Huh, my review disappeared. Guess I'll have to re-read and reconstitute my memory of this one before I can write anything sensible about it.
