Supervisor Training

'The book does admirably what it says it will do: create a lively and readable response for those planning supervision training. It combines the old with the new; looking at traditional forms of supervision training combined with how online e-training can contribute to that training. While making no attempt offer an integrated and universally acceptable training for all supervisors, it will still be a "must" book for the myriad trainers and tutors on the over 80 supervision training programmes in Britain. Its philosophy is to enjoy and take pleasure in the many different approaches to supervisor training while holding a rigour and excellence in recruiting, training, assessing and supporting supervisors. The book is written and presented in a style that resembles a three-way parallel process: a supervisory attitude that imbues the writing, leading to a supervisory process that permeates the training, which in turn impacts supervisor trainees to adopt the same flexibility and openness.'- Michael Carroll PhD, Visiting Industrial Professor, University of Bristol'Penny Henderson's book offers us a welcome and much needed edited volume on aspects of supervisor training. Individuals central to the development of supervision theory and practice in the UK - including Brigid Proctor and Francesca Inskipp - bring conceptual clarity and pragmatic resources to supervisor training and development. The book offers key material on contemporary supervision - including online and e-learning supervision - and the range of chapters provides an invaluable portfolio or 'toolkit' of resources for supervision trainees and trainers. Research and developments in UK supervision are, thankfully, beginning to increase; what Penny Henderson and her chapter authors provide us with are accessible concepts and practice resources that are sorely needed. I believe this book will be a valuable resource for supervisor training programmes'- Dr Lynne Gabriel, Chair, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy'A valuable and wide ranging addition to an important series on an important subject.'Gaie Houston, Author of Supervision and Counselling
