Synopsis
Clinical supervision is the cornerstone of professional training in psychology. In this long-awaited second edition of their now-classic guide, Falender and Shafranske demonstrate the clinical supervisor's central role in orienting and socializing graduate students, interns, and postdoctoral fellows into psychology as a profession.
The authors promote a competency-based approach to supervision, wherein supervisors establish expectations and standards to help new clinicians build clinical competence, develop their professional identity, and shape future practice with psychology's values and hopes.
The chapters cover such topics as what makes for good and effective supervision, building multiculturalism and diversity competence in supervision, alliance in supervisory relationships, ethical and legal perspectives and risk management, and evaluation in the supervisory process.
This updated edition incorporates the best of 15 years of research developments and evidence-based practice in clinical supervision.
Synopsis
The highly anticipated second edition of Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach is groundbreaking and science-informed, the comprehensive resource for the training and supervision of mental health professionals. This new edition heralds the substantial progress that has taken place as competency-based clinical supervision has become acknowledged as a distinct professional competence, in keeping with the Guidelines for Clinical Supervision in Health Service Psychology (2014, 2015). Falender and Shafranske provide a unique bridge to practice for supervisors, helping them integrate the latest research findings and emerging practices into a multicultural frame. They cover key areas such as trauma-informed and assessment supervision and telesupervision, and bring empirical support, models, and research into every step of the supervision process.
This comprehensive text describes the essential knowledge, practical skills, and attitudes implicit in the supervisor competence needed to shape the practice of clinicians in training as well as professionals in all settings to enhance competence, develop their professional identity, and shape future practice. Supervisors, supervisees, training and program directors, administrators, students, thought leaders, and researchers will all benefit from this essential volume.
