The Ethics of Supervision and Consultation: Practical Guidance for Mental Health Professionals 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

Clinical supervision and consultation have long been considered integral elements of training and maintaining competency for psychologists and other mental health professionals. One of the primary responsibilities of supervisors is to help with the professional socialization of supervisees; instilling in them an understanding of the relevant ethical principles and standards is a significant component of this charge.

Although students may have considerable knowledge from graduate courses in professional ethics, only in the context of clinical work do the nuances and complexities of ethical issues begin to emerge. Supervisors must be present and attentive to capture and fully utilize those proverbial "teachable moment" in which the applications of ethical principles and standards may be recognized and internalized. The potential for misunderstanding and misapplication is significant for novice clinicians.

Even seasoned professionals are vulnerable to ethical errors caused by other factors such as mismanaged countertransference, lack of knowledge about evolving standards, and personal problems that compromises objectivity and effectiveness. Supervisors and consultants must provide the guidance necessary to protect the welfare of clients, educate supervisees, and facilitate the professional development of consultees.

The Ethics of Supervision and Consultation: Practical Guidance for Mental Health Professionals represents the confluence of ethics with supervision and consultation. Supervision and consultation are treated as discrete areas of specialization. Ethics codes and specialty guidelines are analyzed in terms of their applications to this work. Supervisors and consultants are provided with both theoretical concepts and practical strategies for incorporating ethical principles into their work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluble Resource
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I not only do supervision & consultation, but I teach both. I now routinely recommend this book in any workshops I do.

    This thoroughly researched book covers a great deal of ground and is an invaluble resource for those doing supervision or consultation, or who are considering taking on such roles. It covers standards in a number of fields -- not just psychology -- and would be useful to family therapists, social workers, professional counselors,and others. There is a good deal of "meat" packed in this book -- no wasted verbage. I'd highly recommend it.

    The book provided a comprehensive overview of ethical issues for clinical supervisors to be aware of as well as scenarios that portrayed how these issues can play out and how to address them. Would be a useful resource for any clinical supervisor.

    I found this book to fill a void in what is currently available regarding ethics and supervision. It covers a lot of ground, comparing the different disciplines and fields of mental health. I found it well organized, easy to follow, and answering many questions I have run into in my work. I strongly recommend it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too many lists
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    The book contains some good insghts on issues of supervision, such as setting up the contract with attention to informed consent. But too much space is taken up with lists of boards that have ethics codes and descriptions of previous work on the subject. Thus, the volume appears sretched and loses readability in some sections.
