Description
Staff Supervision in a Turbulent Environment: Managing Process and Task in Front-line Services by Lynette Hughes and Paul Pengelly. This book explores the complex relationship between supervisors and supervisees in the context of front-line services, where task and process are deeply intertwined. The authors draw on theoretical ideas from open systems and psychoanalytic thinking to examine real-world supervisory dilemmas in health and welfare services. They argue that effective service delivery relies on creating a "thinking space" for supervision, challenging supervisors and supervisees to reflect on their own practice. With expertise drawn from the authors' experience as senior staff members at the Tavistock Marital Studies Institute and former practitioners, supervisors, and managers in social work and probation, this book offers practical insights into the challenges of supervising in a rapidly changing environment.
