Clinical Supervision Made Easy: The 3-step Method

It is becoming increasingly evident that many people, including those who are already acting as supervisors, lack a clear direction regarding the desired structure, focus and outcome of a supervision session. Time and again people express the need for a guide or blue print that helps them run a session effectively. This book provides such a guide and is based on a practical, user friendly model, which so far has been well received by those to whom it has been introduced.

The author presents a range of useful skills for both supervisors and supervisees as well as an extensive tool kit - methods that that may be used.via scenarios, case studies and examples taken from right across the professions at which the book is aimed.

Van Ooijen suggests helpful qualities/ habits to be developed and tasks to be addressed by both supervisor and supervisee with useful skills to develop and a tool kit which may be used. Theses skills can then be tested rounded off by a consolidation section in which the reader can test their knowledge and understanding by completing a number of questions.

• The overall outcome is that readers will be clearer on the purpose of supervision, how to run a supervision session, how to write useful notes of a session, how to evaluate what they
• Useful for all levels - students as well as qualified practitioners of the relevant professional groups
• Non academic, practical. Demystifying, written in straight forward language.
