Working with Embodiment in Supervision: A systemic approach (Hardback)

'This book is that rare thing: innovative, practical and developmental. A wise and experienced collection of contributors bring themselves personally and professionally, to explore neglected areas in supervision and practice; power, difference, attraction, disgust and the intentional use of our bodies within supervision. It should, deservedly, become recommended reading for all counsellors and therapists of any orientation. All will be engaged and will take something away for their practice.' - Peter Pearce, Faculty Head, Metanoia Institute'This is an inspiring and thought provoking book that attends uniquely to our embodied selves as supervisors and supervisees – an area for too long left to the side in systemic practice. Its particular appeal lies in the interweaving of theory with often intimate and personal accounts of supervisory practice, and its keen attention to power and social difference in supervisory relationships. Authors encourage us to explore their ideas further by offering guidelines for practical application, ensuring this will become a treasured resource for seasoned supervisors as well as newcomers to supervision.' - Grace Heaphy, Section of Family Therapy, King’s College London."Working with Embodiment in Supervision is groundbreaking and can be used across all theoretical orientations. It furrows new territory and invites you to interact with its innovative, page-turning ideas in ways which will entice you and forever change your work." – Janine Roberts, from the foreword. "A shift, a major shift, is beginning to take place in how we think and talk in relation to our communication with each other, and it is reflected in all the concerns voiced by the contributors to this book." - John Shotter, from the afterword.
