"The author addresses the topic of self-supervision through a sythesis of past and current literature on its theory and practice.""...experienced and novice practitioners alike, who must deal with restrictions of time, cost, and convenience, would benefit immensely from an alternative method of professional supervision. As illustrated in Morrissette's book, self-supervision can provide an effective, flexible, and cost-free tool for professional growth and quality assurance in treatment. In Self-Supervision, Morrisette attempts to fill the void in supervision literature by specifically addressing the topic of self-supervision through a synthesis of past and current literature on its theory and practice...His in-depth discussion of the reflective process and the numerous strategies for self-supervision is enhanced by his exploration of the issues that must be examined when evaluating one's own clinical work." -- Family Therapy, Volume 29, Number 2, 2002
