The Social Work Supervisor (Supervision in Context)

by Allan Brown, Iain Bourne

Book Description
The Social Work Supervisor is the first comprehensive British text on supervision of staff in social work, community care and social welfare settings. It examines the changing social work scene of the 1990s, and breaks new ground in areas such as:

* anti-oppressive supervision
* supervision of post-traumatic stress
* group supervision

The Social Work Supervisor is a comprehensive text for the social work supervisor, and for all supervisors in social welfare and community care settings. It includes new material not found in other books on supervision. The authors emphasise the importance of the supervisory relationship, regular skilled supervision and a clear value base in the provision of good quality services.

This book provides a clear theoretical framework, bringing theory and practice together through numerous practical examples of supervision in action. One major chapter examines a range of typical supervision situations, and provides suggestions for possible supervisor responses.

The Social Work Supervisor will be invaluable reading for new and experienced supervisors; practice-teachers supervising students; trainers of supervisors; and social work managers.

Supervision in the Helping Professions: Individual, Group and Organizational Approach

by Peter Hawkins, Robin Shohet

Book Description
Praise for the first edition of Supervision in the Helping Professions:

"The authors of this book really do know their subject well and have organised the presentation in a clear, systematic, readable style, refreshingly devoid of trans-atlantic jargon. It deals with all aspects of supervision and most importantly provides a meaningful blueprint about how useful and effective supervision can be. Let me recommend this book to you without reservation." – Journal of the British Psychodrama Association

"The one really powerful book in this area, a book that fundamentally changed the way in which people think about supervision and training." – Professor John McLeod, University of Abertay, Dundee, Scotland

"A very readable book which is of immense help to anyone in a mentoring or supervisory relationship. It will appeal equally to educators, managers and students. All nurses will benefit from reading it. It is reasonably priced and well presented. Buy it." – Philip Burnard, Nursing Times

"This timely book offers the reader a comprehensive and practical guide to the complex issues inherent in the supervision of health and social services personnel, from the student on field-work placement to the most experienced therapist." – British Journal of Occupational Therapy

This is an essential book for supervisors across all the helping professions which explores the purposes, models and different forms of supervision. It also addresses the needs of staff and examines how they can become more able in getting the support and supervision that they need.

The first edition was a ground breaking book in the development of supervision and supervisor training. This second edition retains the models for supervising in individual, group, team and organizational settings but in addition adds new material, including: an up to date review of the new literature, practice and training in the field; a chapter on supervising across different cultures; new models on supervising in groups; and ways of introducing better supervision into organizations.

Counselor Supervision: Principles, Process and Practice

by Loretta Bradley, Nicholas Ladany

Review
In this third edition, the editors present a comprehensive look at counselor supervision. The book is presented as a multipurpose book: a textbook for courses on supervision; a resource for supervisors-in-training and for active supervisors; and a reference guide for research in supervision and a general book about the process of supervision....This book provides rich information on the important topic of supervision. It has something of value for many audiences, including graduate students, researchers, site supervisors and faculty. We commend the editors Bradley and Ladany for their important contribution. The promise of supervision, which is a central catalyst in the development of expert therapists, emerges clearly throughout the book..
�Contemporary Psychology, APA Review of Books
This book is a resource highlighting the need for effective, ethical supervisory practice. Overall, the book is well written without much jargon, making it an easy read. Strengths of this book are its extensive coverage of topics and its use of case examples and practical strategies to illustrate concepts, theories and principles.
