The supervision of inexperienced counsellors and other helping
professionals should be regarded as an integral, rather than a
peripheral, part of their initial and ongoing training.
Furthermore, supervision can play an important role in the
development and maintenance of professional competence, and in
providing support for the experienced practitioner who wishes to
provide the highest quality of care for clients. Training of
registered counsellors in South Africa presents unique challenges
to supervisors. Supervisors and supervisees need supportive
information to stay informed about policy changes, trends and
research - from the community within South Africa and
internationally - that influence and nature and productivity of the
counsellor process. This publication answers this need by focusing
on the fundamentals of supervision and its effective utilisation.
The chapters cover a variety of topics, from accessible theory on
the role and functions of the supervisor and the development stages
of the supervisee to eminently practical chapters on report writing
and preventing counsellor burnout. Suggestions on the use of
metaphor and story in counselling add depth, while the many sample
case studies bring focus and immediacy to the text.
From the beginning of time, God has spoken to people in their
dreams. Through them he has reached out to both men of God?Isaiah,
Daniel, Jeremiah, Jacob, and his dream interpreter son, Joseph?and
ungodly men and women, like Pharaoh or Pontius Pilate's wife. Even
today, God has not stopped speaking to us in our dreams. We simply
stopped listening or being aware of Him.
More than twenty years ago, after God woke him up one night with
an incredible dream, author Manny Fernandez set off on a lifelong
journey to explore what could be learned from dreams. He made it
his mission to teach others how to remember their dreams and, with
God's help, interpret their meaning. In his guidebook, Fernandez
includes his own diary of dreams, associated Scriptures and
explanations, ways to remember and understand God's special
messages, an examination of parables, and his ideas for connecting
with God through dreams and prayer.
"Wake Up?God's Talking to You" is an innovative teaching tool
that guides spiritual seekers through all the ways God speaks to us
through dreams and brings us closer to Him.
