This concise guide applies the principles of Existential-Humanistic therapy to the practice of clinical supervision. With the skillful use of case examples—including transcripts and analyses of real sessions with a real clinical trainee—the authors utilize the key ingredients of the E-H therapeutic approach, including empathy, acceptance, and genuineness, to model how trainees can create safe, collaborative, and supportive relationships with clients. E-H supervisors help trainees learn to enter their clients’ self-constructed worlds, using their own personal contexts to develop responsiveness to clients, while also cultivating the “presence” that enables genuine encounters and real therapeutic change. "This is a clear, concise, and comprehensive guide to the art of clinical supervision. It skillfully teaches beginning supervisors the essentials of cultivating curiosity and empathy, examining interpersonal process, and respecting the uniqueness of each client. I recommend it highly."--Irvin Yalom, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University, Stanford, CA "Krug and Schneider, leaders in the existential-humanistic therapy movement, aptly demonstrate the supervision process in existential-humanistic therapy by showing its uniqueness from other approaches, and illustrating how it is rooted in the existential-humanistic tradition. This book is sure to advance existential-humanistic therapy through deepening the training and supervision process."--Louis Hoffman, PhD, Department of Humanistic and Clinical Psychology, Saybrook University, Oakland, CA, author of Existential Psychology East and West.
