"The second edition of Your Supervision Practicum and Internship is fantastic! The authors illustrate concrete, relationally engaging ways for supervisors to address the salient skills involved in the supervision process. The book is cutting edge and includes the latest in neuroscience counseling, multiculturalism, and the DSM-5. It’s an exciting book, and I will use it in the classroom and with my supervisees."
