After 30 years of declining practice among psychiatrists, psychotherapy is being increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in psychiatric care. However, alarmingly, the field has too few psychiatrists equipped as psychotherapy supervisors to train the next generation of psychiatrists.
Supervising Individual Psychotherapy is intended to address that need. Combining theoretical concepts with practical applications, it covers four key areas: the process of supervisor development; specific techniques used in supervision; common challenges that may arise in supervision; and supervision within various care settings and for specific populations, including a discussion of the possible effects of supervisee and supervisor race, gender identity, and sexual orientation on the supervisory process.
With a wealth of information organized in an accessible and easy-to-reference format and supported by a profusion of illustrative clinical vignettes, this book is an indispensable resource for early- to mid-career supervisors seeking to develop and refine their skills.
