Synopsis

Some clinicians use a simple master-apprentice approach to supervision; others utilize tools from their preferred model of psychotherapy. In this warm and engaging text, Brian W. McNeil and Cal D. Stoltenberg offer supervisors and trainees a different approach: their integrated developmental model of supervision. This empirically-tested model incorporates elements of cognitive models, schema development, skill development, interpersonal influence, and social intelligence alongside models of human development to create a truly eclectic and well-regarded approach to clinical supervision.

The authors describe a proven supervisory model of tracking therapists’ development across all skill levels and theoretical orientations. Students and trainees are evaluated across domains including intervention skills competence, assessment techniques, client conceptualization, individual differences, theoretical orientation, treatment plans and goals, and professional ethics. The authors provide clear guidelines for supervisee progression, from the initial levels—highly motivated trainees who are highly dependent on the supervisor—to more advanced supervisees, who are better attuned to individual differences in clients and seek more sophisticated clinical responses, all the way to master level therapists. The book also includes transcripts and analyses of the authors’ supervisory sessions with real trainees, including those documented in their companion DVD, The Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision.

Review

“McNeill and Stoltenberg’s latest work reflects their comprehensive knowledge of supervision research as well as their extensive practical experience as supervisors...a sophisticated understanding of the supervisory process and relationship and sound, well-reasoned recommendations for interventions with supervisees at all developmental levels.” —PsycCRITIQUES®

“Authors McNeill and Stoltenberg are master clinicians who explicitly trained to be supervisors and are currently working as supervisors. The book helps in the understanding of supervisee growth and development. Its empirically tested approach can help supervisors monitor trainee progress on several levels and across differing theoretical orientations.” —New England Psychologist
