From the Back Cover

Systemic therapy and accompanying supervision are practiced by many professionals, including couple, marriage and family therapists, social workers, psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, and other healthcare providers. Long considered the definitive text on systemic supervision, this comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject is now presented in a fully updated second edition that includes auxiliary online resources. As well as laying out an overarching framework for systemic supervision, the text offers readers a set of guidelines for building a personal approach to their practice, tailored to their specific contexts. The comprehensive nature, inclusion of specific supervision models, in-depth discussion regarding ethics, outcome education, cultural equity, and international implications, as well as the numerous case illustrations throughout, distinguish this book from all competing titles. The new edition also highlights evolving contexts for systemic supervision such as healthcare, schools, and the military. The on-line supplement consists of highly practical resources for supervisors to use to enhance their supervision. Readers can easily adapt forms, instruments, and examples of documents to their setting and incorporate strategies into their everyday practice of supervision.
