"Supervision in Action" looks enticingly slim: a "quick read", perhaps? But unless the reader is already well versed in the complexities of supervision, the book will challenge the reader to think and reflect deeply, and perhaps to read it all a second time. This not a quick "how-to" guide, it is not "Supervision for Dummies". De Haan explicitly rejects prescriptive step-by-step methods as unhelpful. Effective supervision depends not in the first instance on the background or knowledge of the supervisor, but on the quality of - and the supervisor's understanding of and insight into - the here-and-now relationship with the supervisee.

Supervision is above all about listening, not only to what the supervisee has to tell, but, critically, also to what the supervisee's account triggers in the supervisor's own emotional responses, to the supervisee's emotions, and even to empathising with what might be going on for the supervisee's client during whatever situation is the focus in a session. Effective and, above all ethical, supervision requires reflective, rational, emotional and intuitive capacity. It is a very complex and personal process. De Haan: "A supervisor's life is ... complicated, ambiguous and uncertain ... and that is perhaps what makes our field so rich and enjoyable."

The book does exactly what effective supervision challenges the supervisee to do: reflect. This means more, however, than "mulling things over" from time to time. I found Chapter 3 particularly intriguing because of the way the different types or depths of reflection are presented, each relevant and important to learning.

De Haan is a practicing academic. His `academic' nature shines through in the ease with which he refers to concepts and models which draw on decades of inquiry into the fields of human behaviour, psychotherapy, sociology, and indeed philosophy. But this need not be disincentive to a reader, because the book is packed with a great many clear case examples drawn from first-hand experience, which bring to life all the key principles and ideas which the book expounds.

"Supervision in Action" is above all a practical book, and highly recommended for supervisors of coaches and consultants.

I chose this book before embarking on a counselling/psychotherapy supervision course. It was very easy to read and informative. It wasn't quite what I was looking for; I wanted something more concerned with counselling and psychotherapy supervision however, because this type of supervision is so similar I got a fair amount from the book. I would probably recommend this book to coaches and managers but not necessarily counsellors and psychotherapists.
