Product Description

Review
""The Supervisory Relationship: A Contemporary Psychodynamic Approach," by Mary Gail Frawley-O'Dea and Joan Sarnat, extends the intellectual vigor and clinical relevance of our multiple ways of knowing to the supervisory process in a manner that is accessible, thought-provoking, and immediately useful....We often read that 'both beginning and experienced practitioners will benefit from immersion in this work, ' and in this case that is absolutely so--but with the reminder that with regard to an educated approach to the field of supervision, this book will make us all feel like grateful beginners discovering new approaches and new possibilities to enrich our work and the work of our supervisees."--"Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association" ("JAPA)"
"While the book is full of psychoanalytic theory, there are many clinical vignettes that add depth and specificity to the theory....I strongly recommend it for those involved in the practice of supervision."--"Pastoral Sciences"
"The authors' argument is well thought-out and clearly presented. The relational model of supervision would be useful in any clinical supervisor-supervisee relationship, regardless of the therapeutic method used with clients. Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat have written a book that takes clinical supervision into a more constructivist realm....The authors make an excellent point when they state that all supervisors must articulate their own theory of helping. Self-awareness is needed in any therapeutic relationship. Throughout the book are case examples of supervision to illustrate the concepts presented."--"Social Work Today"
"Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat's book is useful reading for supervisors andpsychiatric residents in supervision. It illuminates important relational concepts. The text, in that it dramatically avoids associating psychoanalysis with natural science, offers a wonderful teaching opportunity, illustrating the diverse opinions in the field of psychoanalysis and the importance of pressing forward with a program to bring psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic supervision under the umbrella and scrutiny of natural science."--"Canadian Journal of Psychiatry"
.,."a timely book that will serve as a text for all levels of clinical training. The concepts of relational theory are particularly accessible in the book since it includes many case examples, which beautifully illustrate the authors' ideas. In addition in its pages, new questioning voices are raised that challenge, enlarge and enliven analytic discourse. The winds of change unfold, brining new and divergent ideas which may offer the reader greater freedom to think more broadly about treatment issues without feeling identity conflice as a psychoanalyst or psychodynamically trained therapist and/or supervisor."--"Psychoanalytic Social Work"
.,."supervision is finally getting increased attention. Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat make a major contribution to this effort in their book, "The Supervisory Relationship: A Contemporary Psychodynamic Approach," by developing and demonstrating a relational model of supervision. They trace the history of psychoanalytic supervision and identify three essential dimensions: the nature of the supervisor's authority, the data focused on, and the supervisor's participation. Using these constructs, they review what they consider to be the major models of supervision--from thepatient-centered 'classical' model to the different therapist-centered models focusing on learning, empathy, or anxiety. Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat go on to systematically develop a relational model of supervision and address important aspects of the relationship, such as the distribution of power and authority, regression, the teach/treat boundary, and parallel process. Along the way, they provide a great many supervisory vignettes that enliven the book and demonstrate their approach....careful readers, even those who disagree with aspects of the relational model presented, will find themselves thinking about and clarifying, perhaps in some areas for the first time, what their own theory of supervision is. This is truly a gift, and we have much to thank Frawley-O'Dea and Sarnat for in furthering the development of psychoanalytic education."--"Fort Da"
.,."a very important book. It enriches an all-too-small literature on supervision and consultation. It invites supervisors and clinical consultants to examine their theoretical positions on the supervisory process and consider their technique....The book is rich with clear arguments and compelling examples of supervisory dyads in the midst of a complex relational process of both observation and participation....A strongly persuasive and helpful aspect of this book is its use of detailed examples. I have rarely seen books on supervision that capture the conversations that are part of the work. Because of the multiple tasks and levels of analysis inherent in the endeavor, there are countless choice points in every supervisory session. It is invaluable to see the specific comments and responses, and to consider their subsequent analysis bythe authors. Here as they have elsewhere (Sarnat, 1992; Davies & Frawley, 1994), the authors show their talent at capturing the real drama of clinical and supervisory work....The core of this book is rich and could easily be elaborated to explore various implications or corollaries to the theory....I am delighted to have this thoughtful and thought provoking book to help me grapple with the plethora of choice points in the complex, multi-level relational process of a clinical supervision."--"Psychologist-Psychoanalyst"
.,."an engaging, clearly written, and intriguing addition to our literature, one deserving of our attention. This book will no doubt contribute to lively debate and discussion about the nature of the supervisory relationship."--"The Psychoanalytic Quarterly"
.,."a passionate and intelligent treatise supporting and expounding an egalitarian, relational, postmodern approach to supervision....Unhampered by the rose-colored glasses so often worn by idealists, the authors bravely and effectively confront the realities of asymmetrical relationships....So challenging and new was much of the material that I found myself reflecting on my own past experiences as supervisee and supervisor. Such ability to involve the reader is the hallmark of a valuable book. Bravo!" -"-Readings"
