In this progressive book, Holloway presents a new model of clinical supervision that embraces different theoretical approaches to counseling, moving away from models limited to only one approach. The book emphasizes research-based techniques and principles through boxes that summarize empirical work and define and illustrate key constructs of the model.

A major focus is "artistry" in practice, which Holloway demonstrates using supervision interview transcripts, cases, and other examples of actual supervisory interactions. This guide provides impetus for supervisors to think about supervision as they make critical decisions in supervisory strategy, trainee skill development, and professional ethics.

Clinical Supervision bolsters the supervisor in his or her challenge to create a learning context that will enhance counselors' understanding of the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary to work effectively with clients.
