In Search of Supervision (In Search of a Therapist)

In Search of Supervision (In Search of a Therapist)

by Jacobs (Author), Jacobs (Author)

Synopsis

Following the success of In Search of a Therapist , this final book in the series provides a unique window into the supervisory process. It takes a session, with background information, from the editor's own work with a long-term client, Ruth and presents the dilemmas faced by the therapist to five supervisors - each one from very different therapeutic traditions: communicative psychotherapy; self-psychology; person-centred psychotherapy; cognitive-behavioral therapy; and family therapy. In Search of Supervision offers the first real insight into the process of supervision of an actual session and enables counselors and therapists to see how different orientations or schools of therapy and counseling react to and understand the same client and therapist. This fascinating book ends with a final chapter in which the therapist and client comment on the impact of the five supervisors on the work of their therapy together. In Search of Supervision will be of interest to a wide range of counselors and therapists, not only those working as or training as supervisors, but all those who experience supervision.
