Cases in Multicultural Clinical Supervision: Models, Lenses, and Applications is an application-focused guide for mental health providers delivering clinical supervision to diverse populations in a variety of contexts and settings. The casebook emphasizes the need to not only provide competency-based supervision, but also for supervising clinicians to understand and practice cultural competency within their work. Viewing diversity through a wide lens, the text calls to attention myriad cultural dynamics that impact the process of mental health supervision, both between supervisors and trainees, and trainees and their clients.

The casebook is divided into seven distinct sections: Supervision Competence; Diversity; Supervisory Relationship; Professionalism; Assessment, Evaluation, and Feedback; Problems in Professional Competence; and Ethical, Legal, and Regulatory Considerations. These sections progress from foundations of clinical supervision in mental health contexts to increasingly detailed and complex clinical examples, all within a multicultural framework. Throughout, the casebook presents a variety of interventions used in actual training settings, and includes the perspectives of field supervisors and clinicians-in-training.

Full of clinical examples and opportunities for practical application, Cases in Multicultural Clinical Supervision is well suited for mental health supervisors-in-training or practicing mental health professionals delivering clinical supervision.
