"A supervision approach that emphasises the finding of the client
in the therapist is a great contribution to Relational
psychotherapy and to supervision generally. The rich contributions
in this book invite a deep level of reflective practice for all
psychotherapists and supervisors" - Adrienne Lee TSTA (P), Director
of The Berne Institute"Inspiring, original and practical. This
could transform how we think of supervision, whether in training
settings or for qualified people. Against a background of a superb
critical appreciation of what ‘relational’ means – sharp and
fascinating in itself - the book tells it like it is in group
supervision. The new model for supervision shows how working on
realistic levels of mutual openness, on personal imaginative
expressiveness, and on the development of a grounded ethical
sensibility aid the development of those same qualities in therapy
work."- Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology,
University of Essex "I am delighted to offer an endorsement for
this book. It certainly fulfils its aim of describing a relational
approach to supervision – indeed, I think it achieves more than
this in expanding this approach in this field. Although there are
many gems to be found throughout the book and in the varied voices
of the various contributors, there are two specific features that
make this a significant contribution to the literature on
supervision. The first is that it is informed by both humanistic
and psychodynamic thinking, which the editor and principal
contributor, Helena Hargaden, weaves together with great skill and
useful application. The second is that the book places experiential
learning at the heart of the approach to supervision presented –
from the initial supervision groups facilitated by the editor and
the colleagues she supervised through to much of the content,
including an important chapter on shame which, of course, affects
practitioners’ ability to disclose their practice and to reflect in
supervision. The different experiences of the reflective
practitioner – and a highly reflective supervisor – have also led
to a creative structure for the book in which Hargaden offers four
chapters that form bookends to six chapters from practitioners she
has supervised. Finally – and most importantly – it is well-written
and enjoyable to read; I commend the editor and contributors on an
excellent volume, and highly recommend it to practitioners." -
Keith Tudor, Associate Professor, Auckland University of
Technology, Aotearoa New Zealand"In this candid and fascinating
exploration of a relational approach to supervision, the reader is
invited into a creative group process, as each contributor shares
their personal struggles, vulnerabilities and reflective insights
along with case vignettes. The form of the book reflects the lively
relational process it describes, encouraging us to draw inspiration
from many voices rather than presenting a definitive approach.
Hargaden’s personal zest for experimenting with ideas in action
shines throughout this innovative project. This book will be of
value to any practitioner in the mental health field, wanting to
extend themselves and their practice as supervisors or
supervisees." - Jo Stuthridge MSc, transactional analyst,
supervisor, trainer and co-editor of the Transactional Analysis
