“The book is mostly descriptive rather than analytic … . This book will be useful not only to social workers who provide supervision but to educators and to social work practitioners more generally as they seek to make the most of the supervision experiences.” (Mark Henrickson, The International Journal of Community and Social Development, Vol. 5 (3), 2023)
