IDM Supervision: An Integrated Developmental Model for Supervising Counselors and Therapists

This book is an updated and expanded presentation of the widely used Integrated Developmental Model of Supervision (IDM). In contrast to other volumes on clinical supervision, Stoltenberg and McNeill present a single comprehensive, time tested, and empirically investigated model of supervision rather than a broad summary of other existing or historical approaches.In addition to presenting a model of therapist development that spans beginning through advanced training, the book integrates theory and research from numerous perspectives including learning, cognition, and emotion as well as an up-to-date treatment of research directly addressing the supervision process. In addition, the model examines the role of clinical supervision from an evidence-based practice perspective as well as addressing issues of common factors in therapy. The impact of cultural issues in supervision and training as well as recent work in a competencies approach to supervision and trainee development is also examined.
