Book excerpt: "In her systems approach to supervision, the author presents a unique system of clinical supervision developed with her colleagues over years of experience as supervisors of psychologists in training. . . . The book is written in a 'reader-friendly' manner and is both theoretical and practical. The prose is clear; the charts are easily decipherable. Research findings are separated onto single pages interspersed throughout pertinent sections and printed in darker shades to draw the eye. The various levels of the supervisory session (transcript, recall, interview, analysis) are placed in columns side by side for easy comparison. The author has succeeded in dissecting the complex instructional strategy of modeling counseling task, function, and skill within the supervisory relationship. Her work is a valuable complement to the existing body of literature." --Susan B. DeVaney in Counseling Today "The book uses a range of interesting transcipts to illustrate points together with providing up-to-date research information on subjects such as trainee learning needs, supervisor and trainee gender, institutional factors and supervisor experience, to mention but a few. A thought-provoking book and one which I would recommend as profitable reading for those engaged in or considering becoming engaged in the field of supervision." --Gladeana McMahon in BPS Counselling
Download or read book Social Work Supervision written by Ming-sum Tsui and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-06-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social work supervision has been identified as one of the most important factors in determining the job satisfaction levels of social workers and the quality of service to clients. As an indirect but vital factor in the social work process, it is surprising that supervision has not received as much attention as other components of social work practice, such as social work research or administration. A book on social work supervision is desperately needed to bridge the gap between the demands of the field and the absence of literature. Social Work Supervision: Contexts and Concepts aims to provide readers with basic knowledge of theories, research, and practice of supervision. The book will address the needs of social work supervisors, frontline practitioners, students, and educators. The book is ideally suited as a text for graduate courses on social work supervision, as it contains a comprehensive literature review of the historical development, theories and models, and empirical research studies of the subject. Equally important, this is a book from practice experience in supervision that enhances the competence of supervisory practice. It will help social workers, supervisors, and administrators to realize and revitalize their "mission" in social work, that is, to benefit clients. Key Features: * Presents social work supervision as a rational, effective, and interactive process focusing on the whole person of the social worker * Discusses the history, the nature and definitions, and the theoretical models of social work supervision * Explores the major functions of social work supervision—administrative, educational, and supportive * Addresses the specific format and structure of supervision sessions

Supervision is seen as a key vehicle for continuing development of professional skills, the safeguarding of competent and ethical practice and oversight of the wellbeing of the practitioner. As a consequence the demand for trained and competent supervisors has increased and a perceived gap in availability can create a call for innovation and development in supervision. This book offers a collection of chapters which contribute new insights to the field. Authors from Australia and New Zealand, where supervision inquiry is strong, offer research-informed ideas and critical commentary with a dual focus on supervision of practitioners and students. Topics include external and interprofessional supervision, retention of practitioners, practitioner resilience and innovation in student supervision. This book will be of interest to supervisors of both practitioners and students and highly relevant to social work academics. This book was originally published as a special issue of Australian Social Work.
