Mooli Lahad is Founder and Director of the Institute of Dramatherapy, and Director of the Community Stress Prevention Centre, Tel Hai College, Israel. He is a consultant to UNICEF, working in Sarajevo and other parts of the former Yugoslavia during the recent war; while as a supervisor he has worked with teams in many parts of the world, including Israel and Northern Ireland. For the past eighteen years he has supervised mental health care-givers such as psychologists, social workers, doctors, nurses, creative arts therapists and community health workers.
Within each chapter Lahad focuses on a particular creative
technique and at the end of the twelve chapters, the reader has a
wealth of information about the use of expressive art therapies in
supervision which includes storytelling, role-playing, guided
fantasy, imagery dialogues, letter writing, drawing and the use of
colours and shapes... I feel that this book would be an excellent
addition to the supervisor's and supervisee's repertoire.

A rich account of the very practical creative methods for the
practice of supervision.
Lahad opens his chest of treasures collected over more than 20
years of practical and shares them with us generously. Himself a
psychologist, drama-therapist, supervisor, and consultant in war
and crisis-stricken areas, he experiences in his everyday work
extreme situations and the vital role of the imagination in the
saving of lives. In this book, he shows us multiple ways of
applying this work to supervision.
This book is a must-have for everyone working or wishing to work in
supervision not only cognitively but also in efficient, intuitive
and creative way.
*The International Journal of the Arts in Psychotherapy*
This book gives an interesting perspective on the use of arts
therapies techniques and tools, for example drama therapy or art
therapy in supervision. The author gives numerous examples of the
techniques he uses as a facilitator in supervising such varied
professionals as child protection officers, art therapists and
crisis workers.The broad range of tools employed allows
professional care givers to examine their practice afresh.
*Therapy Weekly*
This is a delightful book that brings creative ideas from Mooli
Lahad's work across a range of disciplines that could be usefully
shared by counsellors, counselling supervisors and trainers of
supervisors... she provides suggestions for exercises that are able
to access intuition and logic, and can be applied to individual,
group and self-supervision. Ideas are illuminated by useful
examples of ways of using metaphor, visualisation, writing, drawing
and dramatic techniques in his work with practitioners who find
themselves facing confusion, stuckness or resistance with their
clients or supervisees. The reader is shown how, by valuing and
connecting with individuals through their strengths, we can
encourage them to develop modes of experiencing they may use
infrequently.
*Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal*
The richness of his supervisory style and techniques jumps off the
page at you, thus the book is lively, colourful and thought
provoking. Anyone wanting to stimulate and challenge their ideas
about supervision will get something from this book.
*The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling &
Psychotherapy*
This book is rooted in the creative supervision programme at the
London Centre for Psychodrama... The authors write concisely yet at
depth about complex levels of supervisory processes.... I enjoyed
the interweaving of supervision theory and methodology with
descriptions of how using creative approaches can unlock human
experience and catalyse reflective processes. I was excited by the
art-based, six-shape supervision structure... was moved by the
chapter describing supervision of work with children and greatly
enjoyed the thoughtful way in which the chapter on 'potential
space' knitted together multiple strands.
This book is a well-articulated, grounded resource for supervisors
and trainee supervisors working in creative therapeutic fields and
a useful addition to their essential reading list.
