Supervision is a prerequisite for all counsellors, and for mostpsychotherapists, yet until recently it has been assumed that anyexperienced counsellor or therapist could become a supervisorwithout any special expertise. But the experience of those insupervision is sometimes of inadequate or even unhelpful work bytheir supervisors. At the same time supervision is receivingconsiderable attention as a discipline in its own right, with anexpanding literature on the dynamics of the supervisory couple (orthe supervisory triad, since the client is a central if absentpresence); more attention is also being paid to the technicalskills required of the supervisor.
This book addresses those issues both from the perspective ofthe supervisee and the supervisor, suggesting what superviseesmight expect from good supervision, as well as offering guidance tosupervisors on how best to use to the full the opportunitiesoffered by a therapeutic situation which has some similarities, butalso some radical differences from counselling and therapyitself.
