Supervisione e servizio sociale

[Machine translation] What is oversight? How does it play out? Who can drive it? Based on experiences and research conducted over time, the volume answers these questions by addressing with methodological rigor the topic of supervision and its implications in the practice of social work. Through the presentation of theoretical reflections, also from an international perspective, and empirical cases, the text critically illustrates the salient elements of the supervisory methodological process, some tools and techniques, and the crucial junctions for its effective application. Aimed at professionals, supervisors, managers of social and health services and students, it fills a gap in the literature at a crucial phase for Italy, considering that recent legislation has included supervision within the Essential Levels of Social Performance (LEPS).
