The past 10 years have seen a dramatic increase of interest in psychosocial treatments of bipolar disorder. There is now substantial empirical evidence suggesting the effectiveness of such treatments. However, this accumulated information has not yet been transferred into clinical practice in many settings. Help is now at hand. This compact volume brings to the practitioner a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to the treatment of bipolar disorder that is practical, easily accessible, and can be readily applied in clinical practice. This practitioner's guide begins by describing the main features of bipolar disorder and considerations for differential diagnosis based on DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria. Following this, current theories and models are described, along with decision trees for evaluating the best treatment options. The volume then guides the reader through a systematic, integrated approach to treatment, based on the best of recent research. The authors describe a structured directive therapy that is also collaborative and client centered. Special considerations, including managing suicide risk, substance misuse, and medication non adherence, are addressed. The volume is rounded off by the inclusion of clinically oriented tools and sample forms.

The effectiveness of CBT depends on the quality of the supervision and training that is provided to its practitioners. A Manual for Evidence-Based CBT Supervision is intended to significantly strengthen the available resources for training and supporting CBT supervisors. The authors drew on the insights of many accredited CBT supervisors to develop the guidance, and the work is built firmly on an evidence-based approach. This manual will also be useful for individual supervisors and to those who support and guide trainers and supervisors (e.g., peer groups, consultants, managers, administrators, training directors), as the authors include training supervision guidelines and training materials (e.g., video clips, guidelines and PowerPoint slides). In summary, this manual provides critical guidance in a number of areas: <ul>
<li>Training resources and evidence based guidance to individual supervisors in a continuing education/professional development workshop format</li> <li>Criteria and guidance (including measurement tools and competence standards) to support the certification of supervisors</li> <li>Assisting in a “train the trainers” approach suitable for agency or organization-based training of supervisors</li> <li>Coaching and training supervisors and supervisees remotely, through supplementary materials and an interactive website</li> </ul>

RESOLVING CRITICAL ISSUES IN CLINICAL SUPERVISION Address key challenges in clinical supervision with this comprehensive account of common critical issues faced by almost all practitioners Clinical supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical practice across the health and social professions. It can directly impact patient outcomes, shape clinical careers, and generally enhance professional development more broadly. The relationship between a clinical supervisor and their supervisees is therefore a hugely important one, embedded within challenging health and social care settings, which produces unique and complex challenges, but for which little formal guidance exists. Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision answers the need for guidance of this kind with a practical, accessible discussion of major challenges and their possible solutions, drawing on the best available evidence from research, expert consensus, and relevant theory. It provides dedicated advice for supervisors and supervisees, alongside suggestions for the clinical service managers and associated others who aim to resolve the most common critical issues. The result is an extensively researched and wide-ranging guide which promises to make sense of the main challenges, describe the best-available coping strategies, and thereby strengthen career-long clinical supervision. Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision readers will also find: <ul> <li>Authors with decades of directly relevant clinical, research, and teaching experience</li> <li>Dedicated treatment of the most common critical issues, such as unethical supervisory practices, ineffective treatment, and the role of organizational structure in undermining clinical supervision</li> <li>An evidence-based approach that provides practical guidelines of relevance to many health and social care professions.</li> </ul> Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision is a valuable guide for both clinicians and service leaders looking to establish and maintain best practices in clinical supervision.

Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision: A Practical, Evidence-Based Approach

Administration & Medicine Economics

Product Description Supportive clinical supervision provides healthcare workers with a safe, confidential space to discuss the impact of work pressures, process challenging emotional aspects of their roles and reflect on work-life balance. While it is widely accepted as an effective means to maintain well-being and boost resilience, the availability of supportive supervision in practice is often haphazard or superficial. Tackling this important issue, Supportive Clinical Supervision offers a complete, practical account of how the restorative and supportive power of evidence-based clinical supervision can prevent burnout, promote well-being, improve workplaces and contribute to better outcomes across healthcare and beyond. The authors propose an evidence-based 'support model' to capture and understand the many and complex ways in which people and workplaces interact, then consider a range of ways in which improvements can be made at individual and systemic levels. Review "This excellent book shows how clinical supervision can be structured to provide crucial support for therapists to help reduce work stress and burnout while delivering effective psychological therapies. A rewarding read - thoroughly recommended." —David M Clark DPhil CBE, Professor of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, UK; National Clinical and Informatics Advisor, IAPT, UK"This volume provides direct guidance to the generally unrecognized promise of supervision to enhance well-being and promote a healthy organizational culture. The authors construct a practical blueprint around a superbly organized collection of evidence provided by international studies." —Carol Falender, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology; Clinical Professor, University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Psychology About the Author DEREK L. MILNE was, prior to retirement, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Director of the Clinical Psychology doctorate at Newcastle University, UK.
