"Some clinicians use a simple master-apprentice approach to supervision; others utilize tools from their preferred model of psychotherapy. In this book, Brian McNeill and Cal Stoltenberg offer supervisors and trainees a different approach: their integrative developmental model of supervision. This empirically-tested model incorporates elements of cognitive models, schema and skill development, interpersonal influence, and social intelligence alongside models of human development to create a truly eclectic and time-tested approach to clinical supervision. The authors' model tracks therapists' development across all skill levels and theoretical orientations. Students and trainees are evaluated across domains of practice that include intervention skills competence, assessment techniques, individual differences, treatment plans and goals, and professional ethics, among others. The authors provide clear guidelines for progression, from beginner levels--highly motivated trainees who remain highly dependent on the supervisor--to more advanced supervisees, who are better attuned to individual differences in clients and seek more sophisticated clinical responses, all the way to master level therapists. The book also offers analyses of the authors' supervisory sessions with real clinical trainees, including those documented in the companion DVD, The Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision"--Résumé de l'éditeur.

The third edition of this book is an updated and expanded presentation of the widely used Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision. In contrast to other volumes on clinical supervision, Stoltenberg and McNeill present a comprehensive, time-tested, and empirically investigated model of supervision, rather than a broad summary of other existing or historical approaches. In addition to presenting a model of therapist development that spans beginning through advanced training, the book integrates theory and research from numerous perspectives, including learning, cognition, and emotion, as well as an up-to-date treatment of research directly addressing the supervision process. The model also examines the role of clinical supervision from an evidence-based practice perspective and addresses issues of common factors in therapy. The impact of cultural issues in supervision and training, as well as recent work in a competencies approach to supervision and trainee development, are also examined.

Essentials of Supervision presents, in the popular Essentials format, the key information students need to learn in a course on supervision. Utilizing pedagogical tools such as call-out boxes, Test Yourself questions, and case studies, the author provides step-by-step guidelines for effective planning, goal setting, and evaluation, along with tips for giving constructive feedback and applying coaching strategies to motivate supervisees. She also clearly explains how to manage paperwork and describes specialized techniques, such as using video in supervision. This informative text also includes a special section on ethics authored by a leading expert in the field.

While feminist therapy has grown in stature and recognition in the last few decades, comparatively little has been written about supervision and consultation from a feminist standpoint. In this book, the latest in the Clinical Supervision Essentials series from APA Books, Dr. Laura Brown remedies this deficit by presenting a theoretically-grounded, yet practical approach to supervision based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. This volume offers a framework for translating feminist therapy constructs -- including recognizing the impact of systemic hierarchies, and thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in the practice of psychotherapy -- into the supervision setting. Incorporating practices derived from multicultural, queer, and other critical psychologies, feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about the presence of bias, and ways in which power distributes itself in the context of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory, as well as case examples and practical advice for resolving common supervision problems. The book also offers close analyses of the author's consulting session documented in the DVD , also available from APA books.

This introductory text provides an invaluable and accessible overview of the rapidly developing field of integrative psychotherapy, and offers a relational-developmental approach to theory and practice. The book goes beyond the confines of the therapy room and explores the significance of the cultural, ecological and transpersonal dimensions of therapy by critiquing the philosophical bases underpinning the theoretical model and looking at the nature of resistance in different phases of therapy. This textbook is essential to students needing a comprehensive introduction to integrative psychotherapy and will also be of interest to the seasoned practitioner.

From practicum to internship and general practice, the competency-based approach offers clear training goals that help organize and focus the supervisor's attention where it's needed most.

The Handbook of Psychotherapy Supervision also provides detailed coverage of the communicative and relational factors which influence the supervision process.
