She has helped countless supervisors hone their skills and many more students understand the value of supervision. Notably, Anne has provided much needed definitional and theoretical clarity and her model is the dominant framework for understanding both the supervisory role and relationship. Her experience and wisdom are now available in the 2nd edition of this book, which now includes a separate guide for students. I am excited to use both in my own supervisory practice.Bruce Christensen, Australian National UniversityA treasure trove of practical advice.Anna Gannon, University of Cambridge
