This book focuses on the dynamic nature of the clinical supervisory relationship when the supervisee is a mental health professional working with children. The contributors focus on the unique issues faced in supervising child and play therapists, as well as the unique challenges faced by these clinicians in treatment. The rationale for using play-based techniques in supervision, along with the varying facets of transference, countertransference, cultural sensitivity and engagement of the supervisee are addressed.
