Covering a range of professions including nursing, counseling, social work, and allied health, this work reviews the organizational context of professional supervision and describes the supervision relationship. It presents a model of supervision that draws on ideas from adult learning theory and reflective practice, and discuses skills for supervision, communication and emotion in supervision, and using supervision to promote professional resilience in complex work environments. Two chapters are devoted to the specifics of supervision in child protection and the supervision of students in clinical placements. Case vignettes illustrate techniques.
