ABSTRACT
Learning to be a supervisor, like learning to be a therapist, is a lifelong task. But you need to begin somewhere and the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. This chapter is meant to be that first step. We intend to build a foundation upon which everything that follows can be erected. We believe that it is important for a beginning supervisor to have a clear understanding of those principles that seem to be central to all effective family therapy supervision.
