Reviews

"The field of children, youth, and families services has waited a long time for a text that provides such clear and informed guidance. This should be required reading for all child welfare professionals and scholars."--Gerald P. Mallon, DSW, Professor and Executive Director, National Resource Center for Family-Centered Practice and Permanency Planning, Hunter College School of Social Work
"This book is a welcome addition to currently available literature on supervision. It draws on a variety of models to present a practical guide, particularly for child welfare supervisors. In addition, the practice examples and skills-based activities will be of interest to trainers and practice educators. I would highly recommend this excellent book."--Reviewed by Gillian Calvin Thomas, Senior Lecturer, Practice Learning, Bournemouth University, in Child
& Family Social Work
