Publisher's Synopsis
In this book we have revisited the reasons why clinical supervision was first suggested as an important process and identified areas where we feel there has been a positive move towards its implementation. The book identifies how individuals and groups can positively engage in such a process and how this in turn contributes to their efforts to be life-long learners. We link clinical supervision with the knowledge and skills dimensions as set in the Department of Health’s document (2004) and individual’s development plans/portfolios.
In this edition we build on the first book and review where we are now in relation to the implementation of support networks for all professionals. We also identify why some parts of the process of clinical supervision have not lived up to their early promise and raise some new possibilities for both an appropriate conception of clinical supervision and its implementation.
