Clinical Supervision: A Systems Approach
Elizabeth L. Holloway Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0803942249 Release Date: 1995-06-16 |
Book Description
"In her systems approach to supervision, the author presents a unique system of clinical supervision developed with her colleagues over years of experience as supervisors of psychologists in training. . . . The book is written in a 'reader-friendly' manner and is both theoretical and practical. The prose is clear; the charts are easily decipherable. Research findings are separated onto single pages interspersed throughout pertinent sections and printed in darker shades to draw the eye. The various levels of the supervisory session (transcript, recall, interview, analysis) are placed in columns side by side for easy comparison. The author has succeeded in dissecting the complex instructional strategy of modeling counseling task, function, and skill within the supervisory relationship. Her work is a valuable complement to the existing body of literature." --Susan B. DeVaney in Counseling Today "The book uses a range of interesting transcipts to illustrate points together with providing up-to-date research information on subjects such as trainee learning needs, supervisor and trainee gender, institutional factors and supervisor experience, to mention but a few. A thought-provoking book and one which I would recommend as profitable reading for those engaged in or considering becoming engaged in the field of supervision." --Gladeana McMahon in BPS Counselling

Social Work Supervision: Contexts and Concepts (SAGE Sourcebooks for the Human Services)
Ming-sum Tsui Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0761917675 |
Book Description
Social work supervision has been identified as one of the most important factors in determining the job satisfaction levels of social workers and the quality of service to clients. As an indirect but vital factor in the social work process, it is surprising that supervision has not received as much attention as other components of social work practice, such as social work research or administration. A book on social work supervision is desperately needed to bridge the gap between the demands of the field and the absence of literature. Social Work Supervision: Contexts and Concepts aims to provide readers with basic knowledge of theories, research, and practice of supervision. The book will address the needs of social work supervisors, frontline practitioners, students, and educators.
The book is ideally suited as a text for graduate courses on social work supervision, as it contains a comprehensive literature review of the historical development, theories and models, and empirical research studies of the subject. Equally important, this is a book from practice experience in supervision that enhances the competence of supervisory practice. It will help social workers, supervisors, and administrators to realize and revitalize their “mission” in social work, that is, to benefit clients.
Key Features:
* Presents social work supervision as a rational, effective, and interactive process focusing on the whole person of the social worker
* Discusses the history, the nature and definitions, and the theoretical models of social work supervision
* Explores the major functions of social work supervision—administrative, educational, and supportive
* Addresses the specific format and structure of supervision sessions

Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0803972229 |
Book Description
"Multicultural Counseling Competence represents the next giant step toward implementing multicultural standards into the counseling profession. Logically organized and with a list of impressive contributors, . . . this book not only is well grounded in theory and research but is a practical guide to how graduate schools of counseling, clinical psychology, social work, and other helping professions might infuse multicultural competence into their faculty and students, curriculum, field work, and supervision. . . . The editors have made a major substantive contribution to the counseling profession with this text. They have accepted the challenge of cultural diversity and are serving the roles of pioneers in seeking both individual and institutional multicultural competence." --from the Foreword by Derald Wing Sue Professional associations such as the American Psychological Association and the American Counseling Association are beginning to mandate cultural counseling competencies in their ethical guidelines. That is, counselors who work with ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse clients must be multiculturally competent. How can multicultural competency be assessed in counselors? How can these competencies be acquired? In this volume, a cast of leading researchers and educators in multicultural counseling and psychology addresses the issues of what makes a counselor multiculturally competent and how to create more culturally competent counselors. Multicultural Counseling Competence considers ways to evaluate counselors for their awareness, knowledge, and skills in working with a broad spectrum of populations. Chapters also examine at length the pedagogical implications of establishing competencies, including training philosophies and models as well as course and curriculum development. Likewise, a group of contributors consider the impact that multiculturalism has on supervision and the theories and strategies that supervisors can use to ensure a culturally competent clinical environment. A cornerstone volume, Multicultural Counseling Competence pulls together the essence of issues facing the establishment of competencies. Counseling educators and supervisors especially will want to use this book to ensure that their programs help counselors become more culturally aware and serve all clients with efficiency and respect.
