Drawing on deep reserves of experience and theoretical and research knowledge, Nancy Mc Williams presents a fresh perspective on psychodynamic supervision in this highly instructive work. Mc Williams examines the role of the supervisor in developing the therapist’s clinical skills, giving support, helping to formulate and monitor treatment goals, and providing input on ethical dilemmas. Filled with candid clinical examples, the book addresses both individual and group supervision. Special attention is given to navigating personality dynamics, power imbalances, and various dimensions of diversity in the supervisory dyad. Mc Williams guides mentors and mentees alike to optimize this unique relationship as a resource for lifelong professional learning and growth.
