Supervision in Neuropsychology Practical, Ethical, and Theoretical Considerations

The American Psychological Association now considers clinical supervision an essential professional activity of clinical neuropsychologists, yet most receive very little training in this activity. Instead, they rely on publications about providing general psychology supervision, with limited resources tailored to the specialty of clinical neuropsychology. This book offers a review of theoretical, practical, and ethical considerations when providing supervision in clinical neuropsychology. In each chapter, neuropsychologists with extensive experience teaching and supervising trainees review the scholarly literature and share wisdom with those who are learning how to conduct clinical supervision. Chapters cover competency, structural and practical issues, ethical considerations, diversity and inclusion in supervision, future challenges, and more. The book also includes 8 appendices for easy reference on matters such as professional competencies, evaluation, and supervision broadly. Supervision in Neuropsychology is a well-rounded, valuable resource for those who mentor neuropsychology trainees.
