. .. Maria Gilbert & Ken Evans have given us a beautifully written & richly illustrated account of psychotherapy supervision... Providing clear guidelines for effective clinical supervision the book describes & vividly illustrates how the supervisor monitors instructs models consults & supports the supervisee all within the context of respect & empathy."
- Marvin R. Goldfried Ph.D. State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook New York USA "... Dont read this book if you have a well-worked-out pre-determined model of supervision that you dont want to change...it will only disturb distract & challenge you. If you would like to review your model of supervision on the other hand update it in the light of modern scholarship & insights open it to manufactured uncertainty so as to adapt it to the contemporary issues of the day then its a must for you. Its a book of tomorrow in the light of the best of yesterday & indisputably for today."
- Michael Carroll Ph.D. Chartered Counselling Psychologist & BAC Fellow "... Gilbert & Evans book is sure to become a key text in the area of psychotherapy supervision from an integrative perspective... the authors reveal an extensive knowledge of the work of other experts in the field & a deep understanding of how this knowledge may be translated into practice... Gilbert & Evans draw much needed attention to the often neglected aspect of the contexts within which supervision takes place. Their focus on the multi-cultural aspects of supervision & their advocacy for anti-oppressive practices is of note...very accessible & highly recommended to beginning supervisees & seasoned supervisors alike. This book will make a substantial contribution to the field for a long time to come."
- Gillian Straker Professor of Psychology at the University of Sydney * What are the primary goals of clinical supervision ? * What is the basis for ethical decision making in supervision ? * How can anti-oppressive practice be embedded in the training of supervisors ? This book presents an integrative relational model for psychotherapy supervision. The focus is on the primacy of the relationship both in psychotherapy & in supervision. This is one of the few books in the field of supervision to focus exclusively & in-depth on issues in clinical supervision. It provides an integrative relational model of supervision drawing on developmental theory that is applicable to the fields of psychotherapy counselling & clinical & counselling psychology. The authors believe that this integrative framework for supervision will be of use to supervisors of pure-form approaches as well as to those supervisors involved in cross-orientation supervision since its main focus is on the quality of the supervisory alliance. Psychotherapy Supervision contains a balance of theoretical material examples of in vivo supervision & a discussion of techniques. The book presents some interesting & innovative material on ethical decision making & on anti-oppressive practice in training organisations. The authors illustrate their material with frequent examples of supervision from their own practice to show the reader the model in action. The book is aimed at supervisors of counsellors psychotherapists & psychologists at all levels."

This title is Winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize 2008. Metro" magazine recently wrote that Andy Kirkpatrick makes Ray Mears look like Paris Hilton. Words like boldness adventure & risk were surely coined especially for him. As one of the worlds most accomplished mountaineers & big-wall climbers he goes vertically where other climbers (to say nothing of the general public) fear to tread. For the first time this cult hero of vertical rock has written a book in which his thirteen-day ascent of Reticent Wall on El Capitan in California
- the hardest big-wall climb ever soloed by a Briton
- frames a challenging autobiography. From childhood on a grim inner-city housing estate in Hull the story moves through horrific encounters & unique athletic achievements at the extremes of the earth. As he writes Climbs like this make no sense.. .the chances of dying on the route are high. Yet Andy in his thirties with young children has everything to live for. This is the paradox at the heart of the story. This book
- by turns gut-wrenching entertaining & challenging
- appeals to the adventurer in all of us."
