Author Description

This comprehensive, state of the art book takes a sophisticated look at marriage and family therapy supervision.The major sections of the book address broad areas that all supervisors should be knowledgeable about, including context, philosophy, relationships, pragmatics, and supervisory training. The major models of MFT supervision -- from psychoanalytic to the postmodernism approaches -- are presented. Ways of using a wide range of intervention strategies are highlighted including the use of genograms, reflecting teams in case presentation, and taped and live supervision. The book targets the objectives for supervisory training established by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. To extend the usefulness of the book, an accompanying resource guide contains practical tips, easy access to supervision resources, and forms that can be easily reproduced and adapted to enhance any supervisors's practice.
