Counselor Supervision ─ Principles, Process, and Practice

"I am pleased to welcome and commend this new edition of Counselor Supervision.

This latest edition takes our understanding of supervision to a new level whilst retaining its clarity of thought and expression."uWilliam West, PhD, Director, Counseling Studies Program, University of Manchester, UK

"Ladany and Bradley provide supervisors and supervisors-in-training with an indispensible training tool. Their work provides a comprehensive overview of the factors, theories, techniques, models, and professional issues that are essential elements of counselor supervision. Their book is a gift to the profession and in turn to the public we serve."-Emil Rodolfa, PhD, Director, University of California, Davis Counseling and Psychological Services

The fourth edition of this text is a theoretically guided, empirically based, and practically meaningful text that is intended for both counselor educators and supervisors 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. Cutting-edge topic areas are covered that include multicultural issues in counselor supervision; the supervisory relationship and its influence on supervision process and outcome; supervision of career counselor trainees, school counselors, and family and group counselors; group supervision; understanding and conducting research in counselor supervision and training; ethical and advocacy issues in supervision; and supervisor training. Case examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the application of theory to practical issues that counselor supervisors encounter.
