Supervision in Social Work - Tapa dura

This book should become the basic text on supervision for schools of social work, practitioners, supervisors, and agencies concerned with in-service training and accountability. . . . Kadushin's analysis of the administrative, educational, and supportive components of supervision is excellent.

This third edition addresses the place and function of the supervisor in the social agency, updating long-standing controversies such as the conflict between professionalism and bureaucracy, and addressing the question of social work autonomy within organizations. The book discusses how dwindling resources have forced social work practice to become more results-oriented in a limited time frame. A new chapter explores what supervisors should teach and new sections have been added on feminist supervision, development supervision, the parallel process in supervision, and the ecology of social work supervision.
