    Description

    Supervision of everyday work is a core component of the safe and effective practice of both trainee and qualified forensic practitioners such as probation staff, psychologists, criminal justice and liaison workers and specialist treatment staff. Within mental health settings, the importance of supervision has been recognised and specialist training and resources have been developed. However, the skills and knowledge required to provide effective supervision have been largely overlooked within both the core training and the continued professional development for forensic practitioners.

    Jason Davies presents the first textbook on supervision designed specifically for forensic practitioners. It also provides a core reference for the practice of supervision aimed at the supervisor and student.
