Daphne Hewson, Michael Carroll Reflective Supervision Toolkit

Reflective supervision looks easy when done by a skilled professional, but this apparent ease is based on mastery of many specific skills. To achieve mastery, you need to understand the principles of reflective practice, learn the techniques and then incorporate them so they become a natural part of your approach. Then you can "forget" technique and become a spontaneous reflective supervisor. This toolkit provides the techniques you'll eventually forget. The tools and mini-tools introduce you to a range of approaches to reflective practice. The goal is to discard the tools as you develop your reflective responsiveness. The toolkit expands on the principles of reflective supervision provided in the companion volume Reflective Practice in Supervision.
