Reviews

This book is relevant to anyone who wants to get the most out of supervision, as supervisor or supervisee... The clear, informative style draws on a wealth of experience. It gives a reader-friendly overview of theory while offering an enthusiastic and lively resource bursting with practical frameworks, ideas, activities and strategies for group and one-to-one supervision... I will definitely enjoy revisiting this book and look forward to trying out some of the ideas within my own work, reflection and training sessions. It is an excellent buy for those interested in extending their supervision experience. -- Speech & Language Therapy in Practice
This book is about inspiring us adults to feel confident in our learning and our ability to deal with "unsticking our stuck ness"...This book helps both supervisors and practitioners recalibrate our ideas about what learning and supervision could offer... As you may have guessed I am keen on this book. The authors have been teaching supervision skills for the past twenty years. If you are a supervisor then you have probably worked wit one or both of them. If you are in supervision - it is odds on that your supervisor has already been influenced by their work. Now all this experience is available in a book. I think this one is a classic that will be in print for years. -- The Homeopath, Gabrielle Pinto, Co-author with Murray Feldman of Homeopathy for Children
This book will not only inspire supervisors to be more creative, it also informs how to aid reflective practice in simple, straightforward and jargon-free language. As an aide memoir, to scan or dip into when we feel boring, deskilled, daunted or just weary, it will be invaluable refreshment. It should be on the reading list of all supervisors, trainers and consultant/coaches. -- Brigid Proctor, Fellow, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
