"A highly readable, very sophisticated, and practical volume on supervision that I recommend strongly to supervisors and supervises alike". -- Stanley B. Messer, Contemporary Psychology "Psychoanalytic educators have been searching in vain for a comprehensive book that would be useful to address the practical problem of how to do supervision. This is such a book -- an achievement of the first order". -- David Sachs, M.D. "The depth of scholarship and the authors' attention to the detail of the supervisory encounter make this book an invaluable addition for both supervisors and students". -- Anne Alonso, Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research
