Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision

Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision

Supervising other clinicians is its own skill, and Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision is a textbook devoted to learning it. Janine Bernard and Rodney Goodyear wrote the book, and Pearson Education published this paperback in 2018.

Its subject sits where education meets psychology, with psychotherapy and counseling as the working setting. The book supports academic study and ongoing professional development for people who supervise, or are training to supervise, counselors and therapists.

Supervision as a teaching role

A clinical supervisor is partly a clinician and partly an educator. Because the book is classed under both education and psychology, it treats supervision as a form of teaching that happens inside counseling and psychotherapy practice. That is the angle readers should expect.

Who reads it

Graduate students in counseling and psychotherapy programs meet this text in supervision courses. Licensed clinicians who are about to take on supervisees, or who want to strengthen their supervision skills, also use it for professional development.

Physical size

The paperback has 448 pages and measures about 9.4 by 7.7 by 1.2 inches. It is written in English.

Why supervision needs its own study

Being a skilled counselor does not automatically make someone a skilled supervisor. A dedicated text gives supervisors a shared vocabulary and a structured way to think about guiding less experienced clinicians.
