Supervision Essentials for Integrative Psychotherapy

This book presents integrative supervision applicable to integrative and single-system psychotherapy alike. Distinctive features include its synthesis of supervisory methods aligned with multiple theoretical traditions, a research-informed fit of supervision to the individuality of the supervisee, its insistence on frequent feedback from both clients and trainees, and a modeling of the philosophical pluralism and pragmatic flexibility of integration itself. In reviewing videotaped therapy sessions, integrative supervisors offer key insights into common problems, demonstrate how to adjust treatment to clients transdiagnostic needs, and guide trainees to clinical competence. Transcripts from actual supervision sessions are included as well as commentaries from the authors' companion DVD, Integrative Psychotherapy Supervision. 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.
