Despite the importance of supervision to the field of mental health—it is a building block of learning and a fundamental stepping-stone to unsupervised practice—most mental health supervisors receive little to no training in how to supervise. Supervision also remains the least developed and researched aspect of clinical training.

APA Publishing Books Editor-in-Chief Laura Roberts, M.D. talks with editors Sallie G. De Golia, M.D. M.P.H., and Kathleen M. Corcoran, Ph.D. about applying approaches to supervision in the clinical practice setting and the challenges as first-time editors in bringing together this important work.
