Biography

Joyce Scaife, former Director of Clinical Practice for the Doctor of Clinical Psychology training course at the University of Sheffield, is a clinical psychologist with a career-long interest in supportive and challenging supervision.

"This book is an excellent example of reflective practice to all practitioners of therapy or training.  It is the kind of book that will continue to be an important reference book which practitioners will turn to throughout their career."Wendy Wood, Senior Lecturer, University of Derby, UK
