About this title

From the Back Cover:

This long awaited volume opens with an exploration of the general methods of psychotherapy supervision and research. It then presents chapters devoted to psychotherapy supervision as practiced in each major therapeutic orientation, including psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, behavioral, rational emotive, cognitive, client centered, gestalt, experiential, systemic, and integrative. The Handbook of Psychotherapy Supervision also provides detailed coverage of the communicative and relational factors which influence the supervision process. The Handbook of Psychotherapy Supervision provides a practical analysis of the ethical and legal considerations in supervision, as well as several chapters on critical but often neglected issues like the impact of gender and culture on psychotherapy supervision. Experienced and novice supervisors alike will find valuable advice in the Handbook of Psychotherapy Supervision, and clinical trainees will benefit from an "insider's" look at the supervision process.
