Nursing Supervision

Clinical supervision is the subject here, approached in practical terms. The book takes readers through the supervision process one stage at a time. Each stage is illustrated with a mix of factual information, the author's own views, academic theory, personal anecdotes, serious discussion, and reflective exercises.

The author focuses on why clinical supervision matters and what it can offer those who take part. He also examines the pitfalls supervisors and supervisees may face, and suggests ways to avoid them. Several theories and models are tied to each stage, giving the practical issues raised a conceptual footing.

The book is intended for both supervisors and the people they supervise. Its aim is to help each side get the most from the supervisory relationship, and its writing is accessible and conversational throughout.
