The growing population of aging Americans is bringing with it
thousands of new workers into agencies serving the elderly each
year. Now, the need for supervisors to administer and train staff
in programs for older persons is increasing as well. This is a
practical, "how-to" guide for the supervision of case managers,
personal care providers, and interns working in community services
and long-term care of ill or disabled older persons. This updated
edition expands its focus by offering the latest, up-to-date ideas
and proven "practice wisdom" for handling many of the field's most
common problems. Filled with direct and composite case examples,
this useful guide looks at concerns central to the changing field
of practice. Part one gives an overview of the social work
perspective. Parts two and three consider practice and
administrative issues. Supervision of interns is covered in part
four, and part five expands the scope of original edition by
discussing the similarities and differences between home care and
long-term care settings. Chapters include coverage of: dual
emphasis on person and environment treatment with dignity and
respect stages of helping, learning, and teaching negotiating the
balance between dependence and independence styles of learning and
teaching tuning in and anticipatory empathy assessment, case
planning, on-going work, and termination empowerment, mediation,

Gerontological Supervision is an invaluable resource for
supervisors with or without MSWs and RNs, as well as case managers,
personal care providers, interns, and educators and students in
social work.
This unique book clearly depicts a need for supervision in
gerontological social work settings and provides a framework for
approaching supervision. Grounded in two distinct bodies of
literature, social work supervision and gerontological social work,
this important book thoroughly examines present gerontological
practice and principles and focuses on the stages and styles of
helping, and teaching case workers to improve agency
efficiency.Gerontological Social Work Supervision assumes some
gerontological knowledge and experience with aging on the part of
the supervisor, yet provides an abundance of informative and
practical methods to aid agency success rates with their clients.
The authors discuss the supervisory position as a positive asset in
all aspects of case work and management. Throughout the chapters,
the value of a supervisor is compounded, whether the supervisor is
helping a worker in seeing a broader scope of the field of social
work with the elderly, providing guidance through gray areas of
ethics, or teaching practice skills for work with individuals,
groups, or families, the need for an involved and prepared case
worker supervisor becomes increasingly clear through the theories
and scenarios presented. Extensive examples and helpful
considerations make this an invaluable book for agency supervisors
and workers. An entire chapter is devoted to providing supervision
in the educational arena, promoting a greater awareness of
gerontological social work in students preparing for the field. The
appendices are packed with lists of additional works on supervision
in social work, bibliographies of selected readings in case
management, entitlement, long term care, and familycaregiving.
