Getting the Most Out of Clinical Training and Supervision: A Guide to Practicum Students and Interns
As two eminent leaders in the field, Falender and Shafranske offer a thoughtfully crafted guide for collaborative supervisory endeavors. They provide new therapists with a sophisticated template for enhancing their clinical competence through the supervisory process. It is also ideal for those teaching and supervising future generations of therapists. --Nadine J. Kaslow, PhD, ABPP, School of Medicine, Emory UniversityFalendar and Shafranske s goal in writing this guide is to jump start a trainee s process of being a supervisee. They have clearly succeeded. This resource helps supervisees make the most out of supervision and helps supervisors facilitate the professional development of their supervisees. Supervisees benefit, supervisors benefit, and perhaps most important, the vulnerable public receiving their psychological services benefit. --Emil Rodolfa, PhD, Editor, Training and Education in Professional Psychology; Director, Counseling and Psychological Service, University of California-DavisThis book sets the traditional notion of supervision on its head. They help the supervisee learn how to make the supervisory experience more than a passive transfer of knowledge. While it is a worthwhile book for the supervisor who already wants to engage in collaborative supervision, for the more traditional supervisor, it could be a perspective-changing book. This book makes a valuable contribution to the development of competence in both the supervisee and supervisor. --Jack B. Schaeffer, PhD, ABPP, Chair, Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards Task Force on Supervision Guidelines for Licensing Boards"Quite simply, this book is one of the best of its kind, geared specifically to clinical psychology trainees who want to get the most from their formal supervision. Although the primary audience for the book is practicum students and interns, supervisors themselves should read it to improve their own skills. The book is so good that I recommend it as a standard text for trainees with supervisors within psychology training programs. Truly, this is a masterful resource that explains and makes manifest the art and science of supervision." --James K.
