Reflective Clinical Supervision in Speech and Language Therapy

This practical book de-mystifies supervision in speech and language therapy. Written from experience, it stresses the importance of conversation and gives detailed insights into different aspects of working as a supervisory SLT, how to build strong working relationships, along with an array of practical resources for practitioners.
