Description
Supportive Clinical Supervision is the first systemic, evidence-based guide to the principles and practices of restorative clinical supervision, an organisational tool for reducing employee stress, promoting positive outcomes, and enhancing the emotional well-being of people at work. It provides employees with a safe, confidential space to discuss the impact of work pressures, process challenging emotional aspects of their roles and reflect on work-life balance, and it is widely accepted as an effective means to maintain well-being and boost resilience in healthcare work. In practice, however, the availability of restorative supervision to workers is often haphazard or superficial, with the growing recognition of supervision s wider role in professional development yet to extend to its potential as a tool for enhancing staff well-being. Tackling this issue, Supportive Clinical Supervision presents the most up-to-date theory and practical guidance on how people cope with the diverse challenges they encounter in their work as healthcare professionals, and how their employers can help.
Reviews / Votes
"This excellent book shows how clinical supervision can be structured to provide crucial support for therapists to help reduce work stress and burnout while delivering effective psychological therapies. A rewarding read - thoroughly recommended." --David M Clark DPhil CBE, Professor of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, UK; National Clinical and Informatics Advisor, IAPT, UK "This volume provides direct guidance to the generally unrecognized promise of supervision to enhance well-being and promote a healthy organizational culture. The authors construct a practical blueprint around a superbly organized collection of evidence provided by international studies." --Carol Falender, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology; Clinical Professor, University of California, Los Angeles, Department of PsychologyMore details
