Description
Based upon a 4-stage developmental model, this text provides a comprehensive and practical guide to clinical social work supervisor for students and practitioners alike.
This book is unique in several ways. First, it presents a developmental model of supervisor that helps the supervisor meet the challenges of working with clinicians at different levels, and allows her to adapt her style and focus as clinicians grow and change over time.
Rather than survey-type text, the focus is upon the practical, everyday practice of clinical social work supervision in the workplace. The writing is casual and extremely reader-friendly. There are tools and tips, case examples and charts that cover all aspects of clinical supervision – the teaching of skills, the development of supervisory and clinical style and strengths. Through reflective questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, readers are challenged to examine their own values, increase their self awareness, begin to put into practice the concepts discussed in the chapter.
Finally, in the last third of the text, readers are given information and tools for handling the management aspects of supervision – the hiring, evaluation, and disciplining of staff; ethics and liability issues; effective time management; self-care.
