Supervision Essentials for Existential-Humanistic Therapy

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 amp rsquo self-constructed worlds, using their own personal contexts to develop responsiveness to clients, while also cultivating the amp ldquo presence amp rdquo that enables genuine encounters and real therapeutic change.
