Being Supervised: A Guide for Supervisees provides a complete introduction to help supervisees and supervisors to get the most out of supervision and reap its unique and substantial benefits. De Haan and Regouin-van Leeuwen present a didactic method that enables professionals in the helping professions to convert insights and experiences into greater professional competence. Presented in three parts, the book approaches theory, methods, and practice from the supervisee's perspective, answering questions such as: What is supervision? How does it work? What's the benefit? Part I provides a concise exploration which introduces supervision to future supervisees, Part II is addressed to novice supervisees and examines the supervisory process based on its three main stages, and Part III is focused mainly on advanced supervisees. This fully updated and revised edition includes practical exercises that supervisees and supervisors can use in the preparation of their supervisory journey, taking into account extensive feedback from teachers and supervisors who regularly work with the book, and updates to Ashridge's Code of Conduct for Supervisors. Being Supervised will be essential reading for any helping professional beginning supervision or looking to understand more about the process, and for supervisors. It will be particularly relevant for psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, and psychoanalysts in training.

This fully updated edition of Supervision in Clinical Practice: A Practitioner's Guide is packed with practical examples from personal and professional experience. Since the publication of the first two editions, health and social care organisations have become increasingly risk averse, resources more strained, and moves have been made towards stifling levels of clinical governance. In this edition Joyce Scaife counters the idea of supervision as a constraint and challenges some of the thinking associated with ‘evidence-based'practice when this focuses on what can be easily measured rather than what matters.Joyce Scaife explores frequently encountered dilemmas including: How can supervisors facilitate learning? What are the ethical bases of supervision? What helps to create and maintain an effective working alliance? How can supervisors balance management and supervision roles? How can supervisors work equitably in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic world? Supervision in Clinical Practice remains an indispensable text for supervisors and supervisees who practice clinically in a range of professions, including applied psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, nursing and social work.

We know from experience and research that supervisory relationships can be immensely rewarding and developmental. Yet the same relationships can also be, and often are at the same time, highly anxiety-provoking and conflictual. Supervision as a developmental process is often mixed with quality assurance, performance reports, or marking and evaluation. Such processes only amplify the substantial power relationships that are part and parcel of supervision and they make engaging well with a supervisor really tough and challenging. This book helps supervisees to get the most out of supervision and reap the unique and substantial benefits that can indeed be found on this profound journey.

Since the publication of the first edition of this book supervision has become of even greater significance in health, education and social care settings, with continuing pace in the trend towards mandatory registration, managed care and clinical governance. This fully updated and expanded edition includes new chapters on issues of diversity and the managerial role of the supervisor in context. Packed with practical examples in the key areas of personal and professional development, Joyce Scaife and her contributors draw on three decades of clinical experience to explore frequently encountered dilemmas including: how supervisors facilitate learning the ethical bases of supervision creating and maintaining a good working alliance how supervisors can balance management and supervision roles working equitably in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic world Supervision in Clinical Practice offers a range of suggestions for providing supervision that are stimulating, creative and fun, using methods that ensure safe and open practice. It is an indispensable text for supervisors and supervisees who practice clinically in a range of professions, including applied psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, nursing, and social work.

Supervision is of increasing significance in the practice of mental health professionals, especially since the advent of voluntary and mandatory registration, managed care and clinical governance. Little, however, has been written to address the practical and theoretical needs and questions of those involved. In Supervision in the Mental Health Professions, Joyce Scaife, along with her guest contributors, draws on over two decades of experience to illustrate ways of thinking about and doing supervision. Using practical examples, she explores often-encountered dilemmas, including:• How can supervisors facilitate learning?• What are the ethical bases of supervision?• What helps to create a good working alliance? This comprehensive, practical and indispensable text is vital reading for supervisors and supervisees involved in mental health care, including clinical psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, counselling psychology, psychiatry, nursing and social work.
