Finding the Words, Finding the Ways: Exploring Reflective Supervision and Facilitation (DVD and Manual)

Professional groups and organizations have widely promoted and described the Reflective Supervision Model; however, capturing the essence of this proven practice on the written page has been difficult. This DVD and manual is a response to a widely expressed need to see and hear effective reflective supervision in action.

Each vignette contains:

• A brief "back story"
• The supervisory session
• The supervisor's reflection
• The supervisee's reflection
• The supervisory dilemma
• Turning points in the supervision
• Supervisory skills and strategies
• Themes
