The Cycle of Excellence

<p>How do the good become great? Practice! From musicians and executives to physicians and drivers, aspiring professionals rely on <i>deliberate practice</i> to attain expertise. Recently, researchers have explored how psychotherapists can use the same processes to enhance the effectiveness of psychotherapy supervision for career-long professional development. Based on this empirical research, this edited volume brings together leading supervisors and researchers to explore a model for supervision based on behavioral rehearsal with continuous corrective feedback. Demonstrating how this model complements and enhances a traditional, theory-based approach, the authors explore practical methods that readers can use to improve the effectiveness of their own psychotherapy training and supervision.<br /><br /><b>This book is the 2018 Winner of the American Psychological Association Supervision & Training Section’s Outstanding Publication of the Year Award.</b></p>
