This practical guide provides support for mental health practitioners as they develop their approach to clinical supervision, drawing on the authors' extensive experience of counseling and psychotherapy to bring readers into the "real world" of clinical supervision.

Chapters introduce the essential responsibilities and tasks of a clinical supervisor and place emphasis on the development of a Competence-Oriented Model of Clinical Supervision, upon which a philosophical foundation for supervision can be built. Integrating up-to-date research with case vignettes and practical resources, the text discusses philosophies of clinical supervision and explores themes that often define a supervisor's contextual world, from professional ethics and legal issues to the personal development of both the supervisor and the supervisee.

Affirming and encouraging professional development as well as identifying a range of common challenges, Clinical Supervision in the Real World is a key resource for aspiring clinical supervisors looking to build their own philosophy of supervision.
