Integrative Systemic Supervision: Training Therapists to Work with Individuals, Couples, and Families [Hardcover]

This book provides a comprehensive guide to applying Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) principles in clinical supervision and training. It offers a solution to the challenges therapists face when integrating diverse therapeutic models.

In todays clinical practice, training based on single models is insufficient, and many therapists struggle to combine conflicting approaches. This book presents a theory-driven, hands-on method for supervisors to help therapists bridge these gaps and master integrative therapy from a systemic perspective. The first half focuses on IST supervision methods within cultural contexts, while the second half explores the development of both IST supervisors and therapists, with practical, real-world supervision examples throughout.

Invaluable to supervisors in marriage and family therapy, counseling, clinical psychology, and social work, the book equips readers with essential tools to enhance their supervision practice and expand their expertise in integrative therapy.
