Abstract

[Extract] The book, Challenges in Professional Supervision: Current Themes and Models for Practice, by Liz Beddoe and Allyson Davys provides a clearly structured, evidence-based and practical guide for supervision in social work, social welfare and the health professions. It is a wide-ranging extension of Davys and Beddoe's earlier work, Best Practice in Professional Supervision: a Guide for the Helping Professions (2010), and considers the complex context of the professional environment that raises challenges and opportunities for social work and welfare practice. The book is divided into two parts. Part one explores current ideas and debates in professional supervision; and part two presents specific methods, models and skills for professional supervision. It comprehensively covers what it sets out to do, which is to critically explore the current challenges in professional supervision. The book also offers models, ideas, and strategies to work with these in order to provide, and partake in, supervision to develop and maintain career-long professional practice.
