About this title

Synopsis

This practical guide illuminates the tasks, roles and responsibilities of group supervisors and supervisees. Case studies of four groups are developed throughout to illustrate the differences and issues that arise in the process of group supervision. The first part describes the Group Supervision Alliance Model on which the book is based and identifies four overlapping but distinct types of group: authoritative, participative, co-operative and peer. Part Two focuses on the skills of managing each type of group and offers guidelines for making clear agreements and alliances, developing flexible leadership and making sense of group and individual developmental needs. The author also tackles `hot issues′ that arise in group supervision and suggests positive ways of encouraging and working with the diversity which groups encompass.
