Full Description
Intercultural Supervision in Therapeutic Practice extends the dynamics of intercultural principles beyond the scope of the therapy room to the supervisory relationship.
The book spotlights reflections from diverse cultural and "racial" identities and modalities, facilitating critical exchanges and conversations amongst the contributors without the constriction of rank. Trainee and qualified therapists who are not supervisors highlight the radical perspective of their placement supervision experience within intercultural settings and some pitfalls encountered in non-intercultural practice contexts. Chapters by experienced supervisors describe and review interventions, with recommendations for practice. The themes covered include the supervision of trainees within agencies, multi-disciplinary women working with survivors of domestic violence, and the supervision of therapists working with refugees and asylum seekers.
At once contemporary and historical, this volume will serve as a reference for inquiring academics, and be of interest to students and clinicians undertaking supervision training, and supervisors and practitioners seeking to offer supervision to multi-disciplinary mental health practitioners.
