A supervision model : from initial interview to completed supervision assignment Upplaga 1

The book presents a personal model of supervision developed by the author and based on her long experience as supervisor and university teacher in Sweden and in continental Europe. Working models by the author and other supervisors, and appreciated in supervision groups, are described in detail. Several quotes are given from supervisees within a range of activities. The book may be used of many professionals within various supervision activities: newcomers and students in supervision training will learn how a supervision model can be formed and developed. Those with more experience as a supervisor may be inspired to consciously reflect on their own style and get new clues on how to work in a different way. Supervisees may also benefit by taking part in experiences of others. Managers budgeting supervision may find useful information about how supervision can be perceived and experienced by the supervised. Procurers can also gain broader knowledge and take part in the experiences and expectations the supervised have of supervision and of the supervisor. Lilja Cajvert: "Through continuous reflection on experiences, a model has emerged. There is a meaning in what I do, a common thread, a thought, a theoretical idea. Supervision is a complex professional practice and too responsible, demanding and lonely work to be practiced without reflection and awareness of what you are doing, why and for what purpose".
