The highly anticipated second edition of Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach is groundbreaking and science-informed, the comprehensive resource for the training and supervision of mental health professionals. This new edition heralds the substantial progress that has taken place as competency-based clinical supervision has become acknowledged as a distinct professional competence, in keeping with the Guidelines for Clinical Supervision in Health Service Psychology (2014, 2015). Falender and Shafranske provide a unique bridge to practice for supervisors, helping them integrate the latest research findings and emerging practices into a multicultural frame. They cover key areas such as trauma-informed and assessment supervision and telesupervision, and bring empirical support, models, and research into every step of the supervision process. This comprehensive text describes the essential knowledge, practical skills, and attitudes implicit in the supervisor competence needed to shape the practice of clinicians in training as well as professionals in all settings to enhance competence, develop their professional identity, and shape future practice. Supervisors, supervisees, training and program directors, administrators, students, thought leaders, and researchers will all benefit from this essential volume. Reviews: Having taught a graduate seminar in advanced psychotherapy and having been a clinical supervisor for many, many years, I view Falender and Shafranske’s new edition of Clinical Supervision: A Competency-Based Approach as a must-read for all supervisors and all those learning to become psychotherapists. Consistent with today’s competency-based education in psychology, this textbook covers key topics like the personal factors of psychotherapists; the supervision “contract;” multiculturalism; and ethical, legal, and risk management issues. — Ronald H. Rozensky, PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus, Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, July 2020 Carol Falender’s and Edward Shafranske’s text provides thorough coverage of recent literature and will stimulate significant thinking and discussion about the knowledge base, characteristics and processes of supervision, the supervisee, and the supervisor. — Emil Rodolfa, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Sacramento, CA, July 2020 About the Authors: Carol A.
