Intercultural Supervision in Therapeutic Practice extends the dynamics of intercultural principles beyond the scope of the therapy room to the supervisory relationship.

The book spotlights reflections from diverse cultural and "racial" identities and modalities, facilitating critical exchanges and conversations amongst the contributors without the constriction of rank. Trainee and qualified therapists who are not supervisors highlight the radical perspective of their placement supervision experience within intercultural settings and some pitfalls encountered in non-intercultural practice contexts. Chapters by experienced supervisors describe and review interventions, with recommendations for practice. The themes covered include the supervision of trainees within agencies, multi-disciplinary women working with survivors of domestic violence, and the supervision of therapists working with refugees and asylum seekers.

At once contemporary and historical, this volume will serve as a reference for inquiring academics, and be of interest to students and clinicians undertaking supervision training, and supervisors and practitioners seeking to offer supervision to multi-disciplinary mental health practitioners.

Industry Reviews

'This book is a must read for every supervisor and supervisee. The collection of chapters passionately and comprehensively delve into the interplay of intercultural elements in supervision and therapy. The authors urge supervisors and Supervisees to explore and sensitively engage with the nuances and clues of race and culture in the therapeutic process. This volume paves the way for open conversations amongst clinicians in the supervision space. A rich, deep and valuable work.'

Pinar Cakir, Trainee Counsellor at Enfield Counselling Service.

'This comprehensive collection of writings is a rare invitation to envision a supervisory space that embraces the often hidden and complex lived experiences which touch the borders of race and culture. With candour and honesty, the various authors offer the therapy profession supervisor and supervisee perspectives that provide learning, challenge and, importantly, hope.'

Eugene Ellis, Author of The Race Conversation: An essential guide to creating life-changing dialogue.

'The singular achievement of this volume is its presentation of trainee chronicles within its multiple voices. It is an invitation to therapists in training to understand the many perspectives within their supervision. The book exposes the reader to a fuller realm of the experiential complexities within the supervision encounter. The writings of these practitioners are crucial, introducing us to a future generation of essayists in the clinical supervision field of race and culture. Which is often missing from other studies on supervision.'

Monika Schwartz, Director of Better Practice Advisors and former CEO of Women's Therapy Centre.
