Supervision in the Mental Health Professions: A Practitioner's Guide
Joyce Scaife Manufacturer: Brunner-Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0415207142 |
Book Description
Supervision now has increased significance in the professional lives of mental health professionals, especially since the advent of voluntary and mandatory registration, managed care, and clinical governance. Little, however, has been written to address the practical and theoretical needs and questions of those involved.
In Supervision in the Mental Health Professions, Joyce Scaife, along with her guest contributors, draws on over two decades of experience to illustrate ways of thinking about and doing supervision. Using practical examples, she explores often-encountered dilemmas including: How can supervisors facilitate learning? What are the ethical bases of supervision? What helps to create a good working alliance?
Supervision in the Mental Health Professions is a comprehensive, practical, and indispensable text for supervisors and supervisees involved in mental health, including counseling, psychotherapy, counseling psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work.

Brigid Proctor Manufacturer: Sage Publications Ltd ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0761959793 |
Book Description
This practical guide illuminates the tasks, roles and responsibilities of group supervisors and supervisees. Case studies of four groups are developed throughout to illustrate the differences and issues that arise in the process of group supervision. The first part describes the Group Supervision Alliance Model on which the book is based and identifies four overlapping but distinct types of group: authoritative, participative, co-operative and peer. Part Two focuses on the skills of managing each type of group and offers guidelines for making clear agreements and alliances, developing flexible leadership and making sense of group and individual developmental needs. The author also tackles `hot issues' that arise in group supervision and suggests positive ways of encouraging and working with the diversity which groups encompass.

Clinical Supervision in Occupational Therapy: A Guide for Fieldwork and Practice (With DVD)
Donna M. Costa; MS; OTR/L Manufacturer: AOTA Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Perfect Paperback ASIN: 1569002185 |
Product Description
Fieldwork education links education and practice and is a critical extension of occupational therapy curricula. Yet, despite its importance, the theory and practice of fieldwork education has remained relatively free of research, theory, development, or training for those who direct the learning of students. The chapters in this essential book, each of which offers several learning exercises, address these gaps in the occupational therapy knowledge base, providing a theoretical, and philosophical framework, correcting myths, and forging a connection between the theory and practice of clinical education and supervision. For OT and OTA students, this book will encourage an active learning experience. For new practitioners, the book will help identify a body of knowledge not learned in school. For fieldwork educators, this book will assist with self-assessment and encourage creating a professional development plan that will further refine supervision skills. For managers of practice settings, the book will provide a theoretical base for the administrative, supportive, and educational functions of clinical supervision. Includes an 18-minute DVD produced by occupational therapy fieldwork students with 5 clinical scenarios that show situations between students and supervisors, followed by discussion questions!

Financial Services: Authorisation, Supervision and Enforcement: A Litigator's Guide
Jonathan Russen Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0199296650 |
Book Description
Financial Services: Authorisation, Supervision and Enforcement provides litigators and compliance advisers with an understanding of the powers available to the Financial Services Authority in the context of the regulatory regime established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. It also clearly sets out the processes for authorisation and examines the meaning of 'regulated activity'. The text comprehensively explains the investigatory powers, sanctions and remedies available to the FSA, and the procedures applicable to their exercise, giving invaluable assistance to those advising and representing firms in proceedings involving the FSA. All such proceedings are considered, whether they take the form of an FSA investigation, disciplinary proceedings involving the Regulatory Decisions Committee or the Financial Services and Markets Act Tribunal, civil proceedings in the High Court, or a criminal prosecution. Russen not only makes extensive reference to the detailed provisions of the FSA Handbook, but also addresses, where appropriate, particular issues of practice and procedure that are likely to have an impact upon FSA investigations and any civil or criminal proceedings instituted by the FSA. In addition to its detailed treatment of the procedure governing action and litigation by the FSA, the book contains chapters on the authorisation process and on the substantive law (including complex secondary legislation) relating to money laundering, market abuse and financial promotions. Each of these areas is at the heart of the FSA's role as the single regulator of the financial markets in the UK and has been the subject of recent and substantial change both internally and as result of European developments. The powers of the FSA and the procedures relating to enforcement and litigation in this area are examined in the context of the authorisation rules and ways in which authorised entities may commit regulatory offences.

Quantifying the Value of Project Management
William Ibbs , and Justin Reginato Manufacturer: Project Management Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1880410966 |
Book Description
In today's highly competitive marketplace, organizations want more from project management than on-time, under-budget delivery. Just like labor, technology and equipment, project management is seen as a corporate asset that is expected to contribute to the bottom line. It must deliver a profitable return on investment if it is to become a strategic business asset, and not just another drill press in the corporate tool crib.In Quantifying the Value of Project Management, William Ibbs and Justin Reginato, from the University of California at Berkeley, explore real-world data from 52 U.S. corporations and find the key to a high return on investment. It is project management maturity. Mature project management departments have more on-time, under-budget projects; less variable schedules and expenses; and decreased cost ratios. Project management maturity benefits extend to the parent company where Dr. Ibbs finds lower utilization rates, higher production rates and lower operating costs. Dr. Ibbs shows how to assess project management maturity and track its development.
The details of these groundbreaking discoveries are presented in a style that combines the wit of Fortune magazine with the sophistication and rigor of an academic contribution to the Project Management Journal®.
If you are looking for a comeback to those who want proof of project management's corporate value, Quantifying the Value of Project Management lays out all the evidence you need.

Don't waste your money.......2005-03-16
This Book(let) is a Major Disappointment.......2003-03-11
I have purchased dozens and dozens of books on project management over the years and this one ranks in the bottom decile.
It is "49 pages" in total length consisting of the following:
Pages 1-3 introduction.
Pages 47-8 references.
Pages 4, 16 and 30 completely blank.
Pages 49 author contact information (consultants); actually the last 5 pages of the book are generically entitled "Upgrade Your Project Management Knowledge with Leading Titles from PMI" and are solely advertisements.
The booklet also contains glaring errors making for confusing and potential misleading conclusions, for example:
Page 24 Table 3-1 the equation is in error,
Page 28 Figure 4-1 the figure is mislabeled,
Page 29 Figure 4-2 part of the diagram is completely missing.
Unfortunately, the trade association (PMI) publisher of this "booklet" continues to struggle with putting out much needed quantifiable case studies demonstrating the value of project management. This booklet is not the way to do it, nor is it the way to develop a project management consulting business.
By the way, PMI sells this booklet for an amazing $...(see back cover of the book). I paid substantially less than that thru "Used" on Amazon.com and still wish I hadn't bothered. PMI should know better.
Save your money, invest it elsewhere. Two books that have some helpful resources for quantifying the value of project management include:
"The Project Management Scorecard", especially chapters 4-16.
"The New Project Management", especially chapers 12-13.
Other project management books I have read and found beneficial:
"Successful IT Project Delivery"
"Visualizing Project Management"
"Project Management Nation"
"Project Management: Best Practices for IT Professionals"
"Idiot's Guide to Project Management"
"Project Management Professional: Study Guide"
