• The infrastructure required for effective supervision
• Relationship dynamics inherent in supervision
• Critical supervision processes, such as goal setting, feedback, evaluation, culturally-responsive supervision, and common clinical supervision challenges

Expert Insights and Strategies

In addition to covering the fundamental principles of clinical supervision, the book provides in-depth chapters on:

• Models of supervisor and supervisee development
• Strategies to promote student wellness
• Recognizing and addressing problematic performance
• Supervision delivery models

Each chapter is designed to engage readers with instructional objectives, vivid illustrations of major topics using supervision vignettes and examples, and descriptions of specific strategies for promoting self-reflective supervision practice.

Practical Applications for Supervisors

To further reinforce learning, the book includes experiential activities at the end of each chapter. These activities offer opportunities for readers to strengthen and maintain competencies associated with effective supervision processes and outcomes. Suitable for both current and future supervisors at all levels of experience, these activities can be used in the classroom or for self-study.

This comprehensive guide also features three contributed chapters from experts in supervision, education, and research, as well as an appendix with instructional tips for designing and conducting supervision training opportunities to facilitate participants’ learning experiences.
