Description

This leading resource is an empirically based, socioculturally attuned, and learner-friendly text on the cutting edge of couple and family therapy supervision.

The revised third edition provides emerging supervisors with the conceptual and pragmatic tools to engage a new wave of therapists, helping them move forward together into a world of highly systemic, relational, developmental, and integrative supervision and clinical practice. Chapters are redesigned to align with the AAMFT Supervision Course, the gold-standard for couple and family therapists. The authors discuss major supervision models and approaches, evaluation, ethical and legal issues, and therapist development. This new edition features literature updates and addresses socioculturally attuned systemic supervision in each chapter. It also includes a new chapter entirely devoted to contextual factors that include attunement to race, gender, sexual orientation, and culture, as well as new coverage of telehealth for therapy and supervision. Filled with discussions and exercises to engage readers throughout, this practical text helps emerging therapists feel grounded in their knowledge, develop their own personal voice, and meet the needs of modern therapy clients.

The book is intended for developing and experienced clinicians and supervisors intent on acquiring up-to-date and forward-looking, systemic, CFT supervisory mastery.
