The book “A Practical Guide to Clinical Supervision in Genetic Counseling” offers a thorough examination of clinical supervision, with a focus on supervising genetic counseling students. Drawing on various fields such as genetic counseling, psychology, counselor education, and Dr. Veach’s extensive experience in supervision, the book covers key topics in clinical supervision. These include the necessary infrastructure for effective supervision, relationship dynamics, critical processes like goal setting and feedback, culturally-responsive supervision, and common challenges in clinical supervision.

The book also discusses models of supervisor and supervisee development, strategies for promoting student wellness, addressing performance issues, and different supervision delivery models. Each chapter includes instructional objectives, illustrations of major topics through supervision vignettes and examples, and specific strategies for enhancing self-reflective supervision practice. Experiential activities at the end of each chapter allow readers to strengthen their competencies in effective supervision processes. These activities are suitable for both current and future supervisors at all experience levels, and can be used in educational settings or for self-study purposes. Additionally, the book includes three contributed chapters by experts in supervision, education, and research, as well as an appendix with instructional tips for designing and conducting supervision training opportunities to enhance participants’ learning experiences.
