Social work supervision has been identified as one of the most important factors in determining the job satisfaction levels of social workers and the quality of service to clients. As an indirect but vital factor in the social work process, it is surprising that supervision has not received as much attention as other components of social work practice, such as social work research or administration. A book on social work supervision is desperately needed to bridge the gap between the demands of the field and the absence of literature.
Social Work Supervision aims to provide readers with basic knowledge of theories, research, and practice of supervision. The book will address the needs of social work supervisors, frontline practitioners, students and educators.

Some social work students are unaware of 'supervision' related themes and issues. Practice educators and social work students will find this book a much needed resource particularly in light of social work reform changes to practice and social work education.

This is a helpful introductory text to supervision which engages well with students on a practical 'how to do level' as well as introducing them to some critical perspectives.
