This book is written by the two people who know most about
professional supervision: Liz Beddoe and Allyson Davys. What is
most exciting is the critical analysis that they bring; they really
understand the complexities in practice today, and in exploring the
challenges in supervision, they challenge us to raise our game, so
that there are better outcomes for those who use our services. --
Professor Viviene Cree, School of Social & Political Science, The
University of Edinburgh
The scope of this text is truly impressive. The authors are
unflinching in their critical analysis of the urgent developmental
challenges facing supervision in all the health professions today.
Their scholarly and up-to-date knowledge of the professional
literature and current research in the field, combined with their
keen awareness of the hard realities of practice in diverse
contexts, makes for invigorating reading. -- Jim Holloway, BACP
Senior Accredited Supervisor, partner in Cambridge Supervision
Training, co-author of Practical Supervision: How to Become a
