Clinical Supervision and Mentorship in Nursing

Contributors from a wide range of disciplines in modern nursing practice provide a description of the history and evolution of supervision in their own fields, with a view to sharing their own experience with colleagues in other specialities. The aim of the book is for the profession to think out its supervisory practices and to consider some "new" ideas, such as the therapeutic use of self, strategies to prevent "burn-out", and the role of the mentor.
