Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision

by Janine M. Bernard, Rodney K. Goodyear

This is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary book on clinical supervision. Due to the overlap of the mental health disciplines and of supervision modalities, the authors have integrated psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, and social work contributions into the central themes that dominate the study and practice of clinical supervision. The authors offer a comprehensive look at the supervision relationship that must develop if supervision is to be successful. In doing so, the book serves as a valuable resource for the practitioner as well as the scholar. The authors also address the professional issues of ethical and legal concerns, evaluation, and establishing a productive context for supervision; the practice issues of supervisor training and development; and the research issues affecting both the study and practice of supervision. Appendices offer additional resources. These include materials to assist the readers in training supervisors. They also include selected instruments that might be used by supervision researchers and practitioners. Clinical supervisors.

I read the 6th edition. Helpful for beginning supervisors.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite text book. There is useful information for days, but the writing is a bit dry and dated despite a somewhat recent, 2019, revised edition.
