DELIBERATE PRACTICE FOR PSYCHOTHERAPISTS
Reviews for this book:
"This book deals with an underdeveloped field of psychotherapy research, therapist development, in a very unique manner and both very personal and self-disclosing but also related to research evidence. Tony Rousmaniere explains the paths to competence and expertise as a therapist with all its ups and downs using a broad perspective and attracts trainees - and this is specifically striking - to learn from many other fields such as medicine and even the performing arts. This book provides an extremely valuable contribution to the field!" - Bernhard Strauss, PhD, past-president of the Society for Psychotherapy Research
"This book has important potential. Like Yalom, the book will benefit therapists in training, as well as professional therapists. The first person account is compelling.

MASTERING THE INNER SKILLS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
Reviews for this book:
“99.7% (my best estimate) of all therapists have had the experience of feeling “de-skilled” by the so-called difficult client. Such clients with their negative interpersonal process, despair, and traumatic histories can overwhelm a clinician’s psychological capacity to stay present and intervene effectively. What to do? Reach for this book! No matter what your experience level, theory, or client focus, this book can help you deal with those challenging cases from the inside out.” —Hanna Levenson, PhD, Professor, Wright Institute, Berkeley, CA

THE CYCLE OF EXCELLENCE: USING DELIBERATE PRACTICE TO IMPROVE SUPERVISION AND TRAINING
Description:
How do the good become great? Practice! From musicians and executives to physicians and drivers, aspiring professionals rely on deliberate practice to attain expertise. Recently, researchers have explored how psychotherapists can use the same processes to enhance the effectiveness of psychotherapy supervision for career-long professional development. Based on this empirical research, this edited volume brings together leading supervisors and researchers to explore a model for supervision based on behavioral rehearsal with continuous corrective feedback. Demonstrating how this model complements and enhances a traditional, theory-based approach, the authors explore practical methods that readers can use to improve the effectiveness of their own psychotherapy training and supervision.
This book is the 2018 Winner of the American Psychological Association Supervision & Training Section's Outstanding Publication of the Year Award.
USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Description:
This is the first comprehensive research and practice-based guide for understanding and assessing supervision technology and for using it to improve the breadth and depth of services offered to supervisees and clients. Written by supervisors, for supervisors, it examines the technology that is currently available and how and when to use it.
Reviews for this book:
"This excellent team of content experts address not only a range of technologies and their uses, but also the legal and ethical considerations to which supervisors should attend. It is essential that supervisors be technologically competent, and this volume will be invaluable in helping to ensure that competence."
-Rodney K. Goodyear, PhD, University of Redlands
"The editors and expert contributors show us the tremendous value of integrating technology into clinical supervision, and of closely attending to the nuances and opportunities involved with preparing and supervising counselors in an ever-changing landscape. This is a must-have resource for the delivery of clinical supervision today."
-Danica G. Hays, PhD, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
"Rousmaniere and Renfro-Michel offer a compelling and comprehensive understanding of how supervisors and supervisees can benefit from integrating technology into the supervisory process. There is a technology wave approaching, and these authors provide the tools needed to successfully ride the wave rather than crash into it."
-Nicholas Ladany, PhD, University of San Diego
