"This innovative text on clinical supervision weaves neuroscience concepts into each chapter to provide a holistic overview of how neuroscience can inform supervision practice. Consideration is given to all aspects of supervisory practice, including assessing supervisee brain states, attending to negative implicit biases, and examining executive function. The additional resources are a highlight, especially the video demonstrating the practical application of five supervision theories. The text is a must-have for current and soon-to-be clinical supervisors."—Thom Field, PhD, LMHC, assistant professor of psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine"Russell-Chapin and Chapin continue to extend the infusion of neuroscience in the helping professions with this new text, which eloquently aligns existing supervision approaches with innovative theory and research in various neuroscience disciplines. This approach provides supervisors with a neuro-informed approach that explores the underlying mechanisms of existing supervisory practice while extending this knowledge with new conceptualizations of the mechanisms influencing successful supervisory relationships. As a supervisor, this will be a go-to resource that connects innovative theory to practice!"—Eric Beeson, PhD, LPC, NCC, core faculty in the Counseling@Northwestern program at Northwestern University"This fascinating textbook adds a rich component that strengthens what we know about integrated neurocounseling and clinical supervision. Client conceptualization is enhanced with the addition of neurocounseling concepts. The videos are an excellent way to showcase multiple models of clinical supervision in action with Dr. Lori Russell-Chapin and several supervisees. This text is an asset to building strong and necessary clinical supervision in therapy and is a must have."—Carrie Alexander-Albritton, PhD, NCC, LPC, CADC, professor of counselor education at Western Illinois University-Quad Cities
