This book is not a survey of supervision models and practices but is an in-depth approach to supervision that can guide research teaching practice across professional roles and disciplines. -- Carlton E. Munson editor The Clinical Supervisor In IDM Supervision the authors expand on the widely-praised Integrated Developmental Model (IDM) of supervision?a proven adaptable model for supervising therapists at all levels of experience across disciplines and therapeutic orientations. This completely revised and updated edition is based on the authors most current research. It outlines specific approaches interventions and techniques most appropriate for each stage of the three levels of development across the overriding structures: Self and Other Awareness Motivation and Autonomy.
