In this new edition Michael Carroll draws on over 30 years of practising, teaching, researching and writing about supervision to provide an essential introduction to the field. Presenting a framework of supervision based on learning and reflective practice, the book offers new insights into how critical reflection can become the heart-blood of supervision. Previously titled Counselling Supervision, this second edition covers crucial and contemporary areas of supervision such as building and maintaining the supervisory relationship, ethical maturity and insights into supervision from neuroscience.

Using features such as case studies, exercises and points for reflection, this is an ideal introduction to managing the supervisory relationship for both trainee and supervisor.
