Self Supervision: A Primer for Counselors and Helping Professionals - Morrissette, Patrick J.

Clean, tight, unmarked; a few light scratches to covers; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; In this book, Morrissette attempts to fill the void in supervision literature by specifically addressing the topic of self-supervision through a synthesis of past and current literature on its theory and practice. Morrissette begins with a historical overview, and goes on to address counselor-client relationships, boundary transgressions, the impact of a counselor's own family-of-origin and unresolved issues, and topics of counselor self-care, including burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue. His in-depth discussion of the reflective process and the numerous strategies for self-supervision is enhanced by his exploration of the issues that must be examined when evaluating one's own clinical work. The specific techniques he offers make this book a practical and indispensable resource for practitioners.
