Clinical Supervision

Having taught a graduate seminar in advanced psychotherapy and having been a clinical supervisor for many, many years, I view Falender and Shafranske amp rsquo s new edition of Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach as a must-read for all supervisors and all those learning to become psychotherapists. Consistent with today amp rsquo s competency-based education in psychology, this textbook covers key topics like the personal factors of psychotherapists the supervision amp ldquo contract amp rdquo multiculturalism and ethical, legal, and risk management issues. - Ronald H. Rozensky, PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus, Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL Carol Falender amp rsquo s and Edward Shafranske amp rsquo s text provides thorough coverage of recent literature and will stimulate significant thinking and discussion about the knowledge base, characteristics and processes of supervision, the supervisee, and the supervisor. - Emil Rodolfa, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Sacramento, CA
