About this title

Synopsis

A study of marriage and family therapy supervision, this book addresses areas such as context, philosophy, relationships, pragmatics and supervisory training. The major models of MFT supervision, from psychoanalytic to postmodernism approaches, are presented. Methods of using a wide range of intervention strategies are suggested, including the use of genograms, reflecting teams in case presentation, and taped and live supervision. The book targets the objectives of supervisory training established by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. An accompanying resource guide contains practical tips, access to supervision resources and reproducible forms which can be adapted for the use of any supervisor's practice.
