supervision, developing a philosophy of supervision, and
contextual issues.
The AAMFT has published two books about marriage and family
therapy ethics, both of which address issues that arise in
supervision. The User’s Guide to the AAMFT Code of Ethics
uses vignettes to discuss the principles of the
AAMFT
Code of Ethics. Ethics in Marriage and Family Therapy
discusses contemporary ethical issues in therapy and
supervision.
The Family Therapy Glossary, 3rd edition, offers
definitions for words and concepts used in family therapy.
This book is a useful tool for supervisors and supervisees,
and offers a common language for discussing therapeutic
issues.
Effectiveness Research in Marriage and Family Therapy
is an
excellent resource for supervisors to use with trainees. The
book is a collection and discussion of the most current
research about problems commonly seen in family therapy, such
as substance abuse, conduct disorders, domestic violence, and
mental illness.
