Supervision is a professional and ethical necessity for all counsellors, providing them with consultative and supportive aid while protecting clients from potential abuse - yet relatively little has been written on the subject. This volume aims to redress that balance.
Encouraging, yet sensitive to the difficult issues that frequently arise in supervision, the book contains practical suggestions, plus useful appendices, to help practising and trainee supervisors develop and enhance the skills they need to be successful in their work. The authors cover such key areas as creating a supervisory alliance, fostering the supervisory relationship, the use of tape-recording, highlighting supervisees' strengths and weaknesses, and protecting the client and counsellor.

`A useful book that will assist in the development of counsellor supervision. Detailed discussion and exploration of issues involved in the British Association for Counselling Code of Ethics and practice for the supervision of counsellors is very useful, with excellent summaries of key points highlighted in boxes. The book focuses with great clarity on exploring the boundaries between personal therapy, supervision and training, with good case studies illustrating some of the dilemmas...
