Editorial Reviews

Review

It is a pleasure to read a book about supervisory practice that invites the reader as this does. -- Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal

I would highly recommend this book for all supervisors and practice learning assessors. -- The Higher Education Academy Social Policy and Social Work Subject Centre

This glorious little book is for anyone who is dubious about the value of supervision. anyone who argued against mandatory supervision at the 2007 CSTA AGM, and all supervisors and supervisees who want more from the supervisory relationship. Right now.I'm off to find a new supervisor. -- The Fulcrum (Journal of the Craniosocial Therapy Association)

Overall the book presents a rich tapestry of writers with an eclectic mix of training and experience. In this respect I feel there is something for everyone to dip in and out of. -- Drama Therapy

Shohet, a member of the Scottish spiritual community Findhorn, brings together supervisors from the fields of consultancy, education, psychotherapy, youth work, and medicine, many of whom have been supervising for over 29 years. The contributors explain why supervision continues to be just as important as when they first started, and many impart a spiritual perspective when describing how and why they have managed to stay passionate about their chosen career. -- Book News

This is a book that unashamedly brings love, spirit and soul into the heart of the supervision process but does so without becoming sanctimonious or precious. We see this through the various heart-felt experiences and stories of the different helping professionals that Robin Shohet has brought together -- from the Foreword by Peter Hawkins, author of Supervision in the Helping Professions

I am about to embark on training to be a supervisor of spiritual directors and I found this book invaluable to place supervision in a creative place in my heart to which I can now add the skills and practices. Variety of perspectives, which strengthens the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Guiding without Control
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2012
Verified Purchase
I came to the author of this book by having a conversation with two psychotherapy colleagues who had attended a seminar with him. They praised his skill in conducting a learning environment that nurtured self-reflection in the practitioner. There are many professionals who are obliged to maintaining a learning for life approach to their work.. Teaching, Medicine and Healthcare are just a few of the groups obliged to maintain regular CPD schemes to stay on top of their skill base. Shohet encourages you to consider everything you do. Not from a negative stand, but one of valuing all your own personal history. It's enormously beneficial to revisit situations and analyze what was going on at that time (from lots of different themes). Revisiting situations and individuals you work with, allows the luxury of hindsight. You could have changed one or two elements within it-and as a result changed the outcome?

All of Shohet's material including this text, shows a blend of experience, wisdom and caring that supports the individual who wants to maintain a dynamic and responsive way of working. Within the pages of his work, the reader will find many epiphanies. I find his approach refreshing and full of transformative ideas that are above all else, practical and not overly verbose.

You can read over a chapter, reflect on its advocacy, then put it into practice. The material reads well, and according to those who've been on his courses or attended supervisory sessions with him, reflects these encounters.

There are many practitioners or students with diverse backgrounds who need to maintain a high level of competence. I don't think you can achieve this without some form of external peer review model. Shohet offers you his version, and I can imagine that it works better than most others, only requiring a little adjustment to reflect personal need.
