Antony Williams— Visual & Active Supervision: Roles Focus Technique. W. W. Norton & Company, 1995

Visual and Active Supervision offers a fresh perspective on supervision. Antony Williams contends that when the supervisor’s advice does not fit with the supervisee’s “map of the world,” words are not enough. Williams explores how in these cases visual and active methods of supervision are necessary to expand the supervisee's horizons. These methods include dramatic and narrative enactments of therapeutic dilemmas, and the use of evocative objects. These can allow multiple maps or realities to emerge for the trainee. Williams believes this results in personal yet systemic learning. This book also focuses on helping supervisees to develop clinical wisdom of timing and judgment. Williams believes that to foster this learning supervisors must play the roles of teacher, facilitator, consultant, and evaluator, alternately and sometimes simultaneously. He defines these roles more clearly as they relate to the stance of supervision. These are illuminated by many case illustrations. Both beginning and experienced supervisors - whether psychologists, social workers, counselors, psychiatrists, family therapists, or chaplains, will appreciate this unique perspective.  Antony Williams is in charge of counseling psychology programs at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of a number of books on group theory and psychotherapy.

Mary Gail Frawley-O’Dea and Joan E. Sarnat— The Supervisory Relationship: A Contemporary Psychodynamic Approach. Guilford Press, 2000

The Supervisory Relationship presents a comprehensive, relational picture of supervision. The authors propose a model of supervision where power and authority are shared, and reciprocity and mutual influence are integral components of mutual learning. This type of non-hierachical model is particularly appropriate for SPE supervision. The authors take potential difficulties like transference, countertransference, and regression, and re-envision them as learning opportunities. This type of relational learning is in keeping with the values CAPPE places on compassionate and engaged learning, and is similar to the object-relations approaches many SPE supervisors use. Along with making their own contribution, the authors present and critique a number of other psychoanalytic perspectives. Other topics addressed include working with group process in case conferences, and the supervisor's multiple loyalties to institution, supervisee, and patient. Discussion of these topics is illuminated by vignettes. Mary Gail Frawley-O'Dea is a faculty member and supervisor at the Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University and the Minnesota Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalytic Studies, and a psychologist and psychoanalyst in clinical and supervisory practice in New City, New York. Joan E. Sarnat is an adjunct faculty at California School of Professional Psychology and The Wright Institute, Berkeley, and a clinical psychologist in Berkeley, California.

Carol A. Falender and Edward P. Shafraske— Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach. American Psychological Association, 2004

This book, although academic in style, is of special interest to SPE Supervisors because it explores competencies required for supervision. The authors believe that supervision is a special competency in addition to clinical expertise and describe supervisory competencies in some detail. While it is written for mental health practitioners, spiritual care persons will find much that is applicable, too. The first chapter is an excellent overview of supervisory approach, theory and practice. The heart of the book addresses what makes good supervision, building technical competence, personal factors and alliance in supervision, diversity competence, legal and ethical matters, and evaluation of supervision. The last third of the book is appendices and bibliography. The appendices contain a number of useful instruments and formats such as a sample supervisory contract, a working alliance inventory, a rating tool for supervisory competence, and a supervision outcomes survey. Edward Shafranske is a psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice, community mental health, and educational settings.

Nicholas Ladany, Myrna L. Friedlander, and Mary Lee Nelson— Critical Events in Psychotherapy Supervision: An Interpersonal Approach. American Psychological Association, 2005

This practical, easy to read volume presents a relational approach similar to The Supervisory Relationship. Critical Events in Psychotherapy Supervision considers. important topics that were not as concertedly addressed in the other volume, like misunderstandings related to cultural background and gender, and the supervisory alliance. These are explored through analysis of dialogues between trainees and supervisors, and by means of vignettes. While they frame dilemmas such as counteridentification and parallel processes as learning opportunities, the authors are careful to draw boundaries that distinguish supervision from psychotherapy. This book is intended to work in accordance with a range of theoretical orientations, making it a good tool for the eclectic nature of SPE learning methods. It serves well as both a text and a reference. Nicholas Ladany is the chair of the Counseling Psychology Program at Lehigh University. Myrna L. Friedlander is a professor and training director in the School of Education, Division of Counseling Psychology at the University of Albany. Mary Lee Nelson is the Chair of the School of Education, Department of Counseling Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Janine M. Bernard and Rodney K. Goodyear— Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision, 3rd edition. Allyn & Bacon, 2004

Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary work on supervision.  Instead of putting forth a particular modality, the authors utilize a variety of modes of supervision.They consider and integrate perspectives from psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, and social work, to offer a thorough discussion of dominant themes in the study and practice of clinical supervision. Given the interdisciplinary nature of SPE and SPE supervision education, this breadth is valuable for our work. While diverse in its methods, one unifying theme is that good supervision comes as a natural extension of good clinical practice, and subsequently, that skills and models of supervision should complement those of clinical practice. Some topics included are ethical and legal issues, the context of supervision, and research issues affecting both the study and practice of supervision. Appendices include additional resources for training supervisors. The revised and updated third edition includes a student workbook with exercises and case studies, as well as a chapter on administrative issues, and discussion of reflexivity and  working with disabled supervisees. Janine M. Bernard is a professor and department chair at the School of Education, Counseling and Human Services at Syracuse University. Rodney K. Goodyear is a professor at the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.

Marijane Fall and Jack Sutton— Clinical Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners. Allyn & Bacon, 2004

This practical handbook guides students through the clinical supervision process.  In doing so it presents many of the important issues supervisors face, including ethical and legal issues, supervisee evaluation, and the process of supervision. This books strength is the hands-on tools it contains. It has an abundance of helpful exercises, examples, discussion questions, case studies, demonstration transcripts, and vignettes. It also includes twelve scenarios inexperienced supervisors commonly face, making it a particularly good resource for novice supervisors. It was intended to be a companion book to Bernard and Goodyear's (2004) work on the literature of supervision. Subsequently, it lacks the breadth and detail to stand on its own as a primary resource for novice supervisors. It is better used in combination with other supervision texts. Marijane Fall is a professor in Counselor Education in the Human Resource Development Department at University of Southern Maine. Jack Sutton is a professor emeritus of counselor education at University of Southern Maine’s College of Education and Human Development Sutton. He retired in 2005 after teaching for 26 years.

Supervising and Being Supervised: A Practice in Search of a Theory. Edited By Jan Wiener, Richard Mizen and Jenny Duckham. Palgrave Macmillan, 2003

This book brings together a number of different perspectives on supervision from experienced Jungian analysts. The authors challenge the assumption that if one knows how to analyze, one knows how to supervise. They explore key aspects of the supervisory experience with the aim to rectify what they believe to be a lack of literature on the supervision of psychotherapy, and to develop a theory for analytically-based work. The authors base their theoretical  perspectives and reflections on their practical experiences as supervisors. They use case examples that make the book stimulating and easy to read. The essays are organized into four sections: The Supervisory Relationship, Applications and Settings for Supervision, Problems in Practice, and Evolving a Theory of Supervision. The editors provide an introduction and a final overview. Jan Wiener is Training Analyst and the Director of Training for the Society of Analytical Psychology. Richard Mizen is a Professional Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and works in private practice as an analyst and supervisor in London and Exeter. Jenny Duckham is a Professional Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and Medical Director of the C.G. Jung Clinic in London.

Morton Shane, Estelle Shane, and Mary Gales— Intimate Attachments: Toward a New Self-Psychology. Guilford Press, 1997

Intimate Attachments is a comprehensive, well-integratedpsychoanalytic work on the clinical encounter. While focusing on psychoanalysis, it is another valuable resource for SPE supervisors for understanding and using intersubjectivity in their work.

They propose a framework where the clinical encounter is understood as bi-directional, co-constructed, and transformative. This book also addresses central clinical issues in psychoanalysis, including transference, empathy, attunement, and intimacy. As well as containing theoretical material, the book is also clinically oriented. It includes helpful guidelines for practice, clinical commentary, and illuminating case studies.
