Supervision Essentials for the Feminist Psychotherapy Model of Supervision

This book offers a theoretically grounded yet practical approach to supervision that is based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. Feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about bias and the ways in which power distributes itself in the contexts of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Chapters examine the impact of systemic hierarchies and stress the importance of thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in psychotherapy and elsewhere. The book includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory as well as case examples and practical advice for common supervision problems. This book is part of the American Psychological Association Clinical Supervision Essentials Series, the central resource for understanding contemporary models of psychotherapy supervision. Each book presents a concise review of the history, principles, techniques, and processes of a particular approach to supervision, including detailed analysis of a single supervision session and discussion of evidence supporting the approach. These books are an indispensable guide for students learning how to supervise as well as practitioners seeking quick references to improve their own supervision skills.
