 Review 
Reading this book reminded me just how much the literature on supervision is siloed, with the consequence that those of us in psychology are missing excellent work on supervision being written by our couples and family therapy colleagues (and presumably, vice versa). Lee and Nelson have drawn on their rich clinical experience and deep knowledge of the literature to write a book that not only provides a comprehensive overview of the practice of supervision, but does so in a clear, practical, and engaging way. I strongly recommend it to anyone, including fellow psychologists and psychology students, who want to deepen their knowledge of supervision. 
Rod Goodyear 
Emeritus Professor 
University of Southern California and University of Redlands\nContemporary Relational Supervision is a must read for supervisors of all levels. It provides a deep dive into the evidence-based literature for best practice in systemic clinical supervision. Essential topics related to diversity and inclusion are integrated throughout the text which is essential for the practice of Socially Just Supervision. 
Toni Schindler Zimmerman, PhD, LMFT 
MFT Program Director, Colorado State University\nContemporary Relational Supervision (2nd ed.) is nothing short of a revolution in clinical supervision. No other text on the market covers the depth and breadth of topics tackled by Lee and Nelson in this impressive volume, encouraging readers to cultivate a personal style of supervision as well as guidance on highly relevant topics such as telesupervision. Written with incredible clarity, attention to context, and refreshing humility and charm, this text reinvents relational supervision and is a must-have for any systemic therapist beginning their supervisory journey. 
Katherine M. Hertlein 
Professor, Couple and Family Therapy Program 
University of Nevada, Las Vegas\nIf Lee and Nelson’s Contemporary Relational Supervision was a client family in a session, this text would read like its genogram, with the authors skillfully laying out for us who in the field did what, when, and how―along with all of the nuance and detail one appreciates in the best kind of genogram narrative. The history of systems supervision ideas is only part of the package; in this book, Lee and Nelson’s scholarship on the practice of supervision in family therapy is as comprehensive and engaging as the suggested exercises and tasks at the end of every chapter. Just as with the best of genograms, this book invites the reader to consider the patterns of supervision scholarship and practice across the generations, while also inspiring us to make our own contribution to its sound future.

The Contemporary Relational Supervisor

The Contemporary Relational Supervisor is an empirically based, academically sophisticated, and learner-friendly book on the cutting edge of couple and family therapy supervision. Appropriate for master’s and doctoral level students, as well as experienced clinicians who wish to learn about supervision, it emphasizes system and relational thinking and intervention, while privileging the diversity of training system members, their realities, experiences, and interpretations of life. The authors are attuned throughout the text to how and where clinical training and services are provided, and to whom, and provide detailed literature reviews for readers. These factors assist their discussion of the socio-historic development of the AAMFT supervision designation, and the fundamentals, contexts, philosophy, relationships, and pragmatics of CFT supervision. They also discuss major models and approaches, evaluation, ethical and legal issues, and therapist development. Perhaps most important is their presentation of methods that help tailor and extend supervision practices to meet the clinical, institutional, and economic realities that CF therapists navigate. Readers are engaged by the discussions and exercises at the end of each chapter, which help them to feel more grounded in a topic, to have their own voices heard, and to be granted insight through experiencing multiple realities. This valuable reference prepares the next wave of cutting-edge CFT supervisors–those who are knowledgeable, skilled, and realistically confident.

As you will see, and as these therapists reveal, sometimes all the top-notch and most innovative theories in the world won’t help a client in distress.Tales from Family Therapy isn’t just about therapists learning a lesson or two from their clients. It’s about compassion, healing, being taken by surprise, thinking on your toes, and encouraging people to believe in their strengths--not just their weaknesses.

They invite you to share in their recollections and discussions of: 
<ul>

<li>accepting, respecting, and working with the realities clients bring </li>
