This latest edition has broadened its scope to include professions other than counselling, such as coaching and consultancy. It begins with a comprehensive exploration: what is supervision? which challenges the reader to create their own one minute definition. Includes a fascinating chapter
exploring the concepts of 'voice, identity and power' including the making of meaning through dialogue in supervision. A contemporary text, including contributions from neuroscience and offering case studies and exercises encouraging the reader to consider and reflect. Thoroughly recommended to both fledglings and older birds alike!

This is one of the first books (earlier edition) I read when starting out as a clinical supervisor and I have been recommending it ever since. This latest edition expands the remit of supervision in the helping professions to include other areas such as coaching and further expands on the effective use of supervision in counselling and psychotherapy.
