Introduction
 
Chapter 1: Accountability Supervision and Clinical Supervision
 
Chapter 2: Components of Supervision
 
Chapter 3: Alternative Forms of Supervision
 
Chapter 4: Power and Authority
 
Chapter 5: Casework at Second Hand
 
Chapter 6: Judgements of Solomon
 
Chapter 7: Games we all play
 
Chapter 8: The Framework
 
Chapter 9: Dealing with Problems

Those new to being supervised will find this a useful guide on making the best use of it. [It also] provides useful frameworks to help supervisors map out their strengths and areas for development; would be helpful for any therapist venturing into management and/or supervision.

This is a really useful book and certainly relatable to many different areas of work, of which supervision is a part of. It is clear, easy to read and would recommend for anyone with an interests within this area.

Though written primarily for a social work audience, this book has a number of more widely applicable uses.
The book covers a number of things (in its own way) you might find in a number of supervision texts (eg components of supervision), but I'd commend it for these things:
the layout and organisation were helpful;
the chapter on 'Power and Authority';
'Judgements of Solomon' (difficult decisions);
'Games we all Play'; and finally
'The Needs of the Supervisor' (hurray!)
One final - and helpful thing - the neat summary list in p90 of what we all might hope supervision can be like

This was an interesting read, not least because (as a psychologist) it was helpful to read something produced by someone who's been a social worker. I liked generally the many ways practice could be seen to be mirrored in supervision and was particularly taken by the chapter on Power and Authority.

This is a great addition to the SW literature on supervision. Beckett covers key areas in an accessible format - really helpful to those new to supervision, such as PEs
