Maximising the Benefits of Psychotherapy

David Green is a clinical psychologist who has worked therapeutically for more than 30 years with young people and their families. From 1988 to 2010 he was Clinical Director of the Doctor of Clinical Psychology programme at the University of Leeds. He has been particularly interested in the role clinical supervision plays in the education of healthcare professionals.  Gary Latchford is a clinical psychologist working in physical health, based at the department of Clinical and Health Psychology at St James?s Hospital in Leeds. Since 1996 he has also been research director for the Doctor of Clinical Psychology programme at the University of Leeds.  His clinical and research interests are mostly around psychological interventions in medical settings, and he has published several papers and book chapters on this topic.

“In keeping with the authors’ clear preference for the on-going monitoring of client work, is the belief that on-going monitoring of the supervisory dyad mirrors and enhances the supervisee’s learning, and for that reason alone I would recommend this book to both the practising therapist and those in training.”  (Counselling & Psychotherapy Research, 2 December 2014)
