An ideal supplemental textbook for classes in any professional program that trains psychotherapists and a valuable resource for working professionals.
This reissued classic teaches supervisors and supervisees to anticipate the workplace issues they may face and provides them with valuable insights about what goes on in the clinical supervisory relationship. Because such a range of real-life situations are presented, readers reap the benefit of being confronted with workplace situations it might take them years to run across. The diverse vignettes, drawn from clinical practice in a variety of settings, lend a powerful dynamic to this practical book and provide a departure point for discussion or even debate about sensitive issues. The video, Challenges in Cross Cultural Supervision, created by Kaiser and her colleagues Carol Kuechler and Angeline Barretta Herman, is based on the concepts in this book and is available on You Tube.
