While obviously aimed at family therapy settings and training requirements in Britain, the material contained in the book would be worthwhile reading for therapists in other countries. -- Family Matters The book overall is readable and accessible and has the virtue of brevity. As a practice teacher, I found there to be an overlap of common themes and issues as there would be for anyone involved in any supervisory relationship. I would therefore commend it to a wider readership than those solely involved in family therapy training and practice. -- Rostrum A useful introduction, aid and guide for multidisciplinary teams seeking to enhance and develop systemic interventions. -- Inga-Britt Krause, The Marlborough Family Service & University College, London In this collection of chapters, the authors explore the development of systematic ideas over the last 20+ years. This book shows the reader how supervisors of systematic therapy have addressed personal and professional development in pre-registratin training and with this in mind there is much of interest that follows... Overall, the content was not what I anticipated from the title, but I still expect this to be a worthwhile read for supervisors wishing to consider how to facilitate personal and professional development, and self-awareness in their supervisees and themselves. -- Joyce Scaife, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Psychology Unit, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK
