It offers advice on a variety of pedagogic approaches to supervising, suggests ways of strengthening student acculturation and developing critical thinking, helps you build strong supervisor/student relationships, including constructive co-supervision, encourages support for academic literacy, deals with ethical dilemmas and provides strategies for student empowerment. It will not only answer all your questions about supervision, it will also make the supervisory process much more productive.

Essential reading for postgraduate supervisors as they steer tomorrow’s researchers through their doctoral studies.
Professor Alistair McCulloch,University of Southern Australia

Anne Lee is a pioneer in the academic and professional exploration of research supervision. She has helped countless supervisors hone their skills and many more students understand the value of supervision. Notably, Anne has provided much needed definitional and theoretical clarity and her model is the dominant framework for understanding both the supervisory role and relationship. Her experience and wisdom are now available in the 2nd edition of this book, which now includes a separate guide for students. I am excited to use both in my own supervisory practice.
Bruce Christensen, Australian National University

A treasure trove of practical advice.
