Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach

by Carol A. Falender, Edward P. Shafranske

Clinical A Competency-Based Approach is a resource for training and supervising mental health practitioners. Supervision has for years been central to training psychologists and other mental health professionals in clinical settings, yet supervisors have worked with little or no framework or guidance. Supervisors need no longer tolerate this state of affairs. This presentation of theory and research is tailored to contemporary practice and training requirements, with an emphasis on the identification and development of specific competencies in both trainees and their supervisors. This book guides readers through a science-informed process of supervision that clearly delineates the competencies required for good practice. The authors have geared this approach to mental health professionals who currently provide supervision in academic, training, and treatment settings as well as to students and practitioners who are studying supervision research and theory for the first time. Clinical Supervision provides guidance on both clinical and supervisory competencies and accounts for recent legislative initiatives mandating training in supervision.

I'm glad that i read half of this right before becoming a clinical supervisor. It gave clearly guidance around effective approaches as well as ethical and legal considerations that helped shape my identity in the new role.

This should be a required reading for clinical supervisors to understand the importance of their role and how to build skills in supervisees and center the welfare of their clients.

The appendix is filled with useful assessments for supervisors abd supervisees that I'll be copying and making use of.
