4.0 out of 5 stars Good review of literature & studies on clinical supervision, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

Excellent resource for developing a clinical supervision training program. Provides a good review of literature & studies dealing with clinical supervision. The two day curriculum is helpful but uses too much video & doesn't tell you where to get a video to use in the training. Gives good basics to what is important in Clinical Supervision; chapter on ethics & legal issues whas somewhat unclear, but very important. Great appendix section. I was surprised that Dr. Larry Shulman wasn't referenced more. Overrall - great resource to have if you are doing clinical supervision.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE supervision text, July 22, 2006

By	Clinical Supervisor and Educator (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

It is easy to see why Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision is so frequently referred to as THE supervision text. Bernard and Goodyear successfully synthesize a vast (and growing) amount of multidisciplinary supervision literature into a single comprehensive source. The book is well written, and organized such that it makes for easy referencing. Each of the 12 chapters presents an in-depth examination of both seminal and contemporary writing related to clinical supervision. While the `Supervisor's toolbox' serves as a welcome resource for graduate students and new supervisors, the thorough presentation of the most up-to-date theoretical and empirical work informs seasoned supervisors and educators alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots and lots of good info, November 22, 2007

By	L. Siddiqi "Living&learning" (Nashville, Tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

Really good book for learning about the subject. I have noticed since that this book is used as a reference in a number of articles and other books, so it is respected by other professionals too. What I like is that it gives examples-I have to have examples.
