Description

Despite the importance of supervision to the field of mental health—it is a building block of learning and a fundamental stepping-stone to unsupervised practice—most mental health supervisors receive little to no training in how to supervise. Supervision also remains the least developed and researched aspect of clinical training.

This relative lack of attention to this crucial element of training is what makes Supervision in Psychiatric Practice such a necessary addition to the psychiatric literature. More than two dozen experts bring their knowledge to bear on establishing a practical framework for supervision grounded in real-world experience.

This guide explores techniques such as role-playing, working with process notes, live supervision, and co-therapy in a variety of clinical and nonclinical settings, including:

  • Inpatient psychiatry
  • Hospital-based consultation-liaison and emergency department psychiatry
  • Couples and family therapy
  • Administrative training
  • Leadership development
  • Quality improvement initiatives

Key points provide a context for each chapter and allow readers to easily reference the book's major takeaways. All chapters address specific challenges and strategies related to the topic and include questions for supervisees and supervisors to facilitate discussion. Also included is a listing of additional resources that can serve as a springboard to further discovery and learning.

Special attention is given to unique issues in supervision, including selecting a psychotherapy supervisor, supervising adverse outcomes, supervising auxiliary health care providers, and terminating a supervisory relationship. A discussion of the legal issues in supervision and building a supervisor training program round out the most comprehensive, up-to-date manual of its kind.

About the Authors

Sallie G. De Golia, M.D., M.P.H., is Clinical Professor, Associate Chair of Clinician Educator Professional Development, and Associate Residency Director in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, California.

Kathleen M. Corcoran, Ph.D., is Clinical Associate Professor and Training Director for the Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Program (Adult) in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University in Stanford, California.

Here finally is the definitive work on contemporary psychiatry supervision! I can't wait to read it with my faculty colleagues. De Golia and Corcoran have brought together a wide array of expert supervisors to share how they leverage the one-to-one relationship with students, trainees and junior colleagues to help those learners grow, flourish and become independent, creative psychiatrists. The chapters include traditional settings like psychotherapy supervision, but also the supervision we need now as our field has changed, including integrated care, acute care, administrative and global mental health settings.—Richard F. Summers, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Senior Residency Advisor, Department of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania


De Golia and Corcoran have created a text that offers both breadth and depth to assist the practitioner of supervision in the medical field of psychiatry. Because all chapters follow the same clear format, it is easy to discern if a given chapter will provide what the reader seeks. The text also will serve as both a guide for the supervisor new to the role and as a resource for those who are asked to supervise within a new context. The basics of psychotherapy supervision that inform all mental health professions are covered with great specificity; these are then applied to multiple contexts within psychiatry. In short, this is a text that will prove to be a significant addition to the supervision literature.—Janine M. Bernard, Ph.D., LMHC, Professor Emeritus, Department of Counseling and Human Services, Syracuse University
