Supervising the Reflective Practitioner

"This book is an excellent example of reflective practice to all practitioners of therapy or training. It is the kind of book that will continue to be an important reference book which practitioners will turn to throughout their career." Wendy Wood, Senior Lecturer, University of Derby, UK "There are just too many strategies endorsed by Scaife for this brief review to do them justice: but I would not, now, want to engage in supervision without this text on my bookshelf." - Dr. David Mair, European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Vol. 12, No. 4, December 2010 "This book is an excellent example of reflective practice to all practitioners of therapy or training.
