Synopsis
Counselor Supervision: Principles, Process, and Practice (3rd edition) is intended for counselor educators and counselor supervisor practitioners who work in a variety of educational and mental health settings. Primary supervision theories are reviewed and critiqued with the intent of informing supervisor practitioners, counselor educators, and supervisor trainees. Additionally, cutting-edge topic areas are covered that include (a) multicultural issues in counselor supervision (e.g., how to balance and manage multiple identities such as gender, race, sexual orientation, age, and disability in the context of influencing trainees' multicultural competences), (b) the supervisory relationship (an essential but sometimes forgotten component of supervision) and its influence on supervision process and outcome, (c) supervision of career counselor trainees (e.g., supervision challenges unique to career counseling trainees such as integrating personal and career development), (d) supervision of school counselors (e.g., supervision challenges unique to school counselors such as confidentiality and balancing multiple roles), (e) supervision of family and group counselors, (f) group supervision, (g) understanding and conducting research in counselor supervision and training, (h) ethical and advocacy issues in supervision, and (i) supervisor training. Case examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the application of theory to practical issues that counselor supervisors encounter.
