Review
There is so much to like about this book-it is clear, concise, engaging, creative, and packed with practical examples covering a full gamut of supervision scenarios, challenges, and solutions. I especially appreciate the personal reflections and hard-earned lessons shared throughout the book by the authors and other clinical supervisors. I've used the previous edition with favorable results, and I congratulate the authors for creating an even stronger third edition. --John J. Murphy, PhD Professor of Psychology & Counseling/Licensed Psychologist University of Central Arkansas Author of Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools, 3rd Edition\nThe authors have once again created a reader-friendly and comprehensive treatment of this important, multifaceted area of study and have expanded their expertise by adding the voices and experiences of a variety of students and supervisory practitioners in the field. They provide numerous opportunities for reader interaction and personalization of learning. --Emma Borens, MA, and Sharon Bowles, MA, Counselor Educators California Counseling Association Executive Council Members
