Counseling and play therapy supervision have similarities and differences, but both have a goal of helping supervisees develop into ethical and effective counselors. Counselors adhere to a supervision model as a guide in this process. Play therapy is a specialty area with a specific scope of practice and thus requires additional counseling knowledge. Play therapists are trained in the use of expressive arts, bibliotherapy, and other creative techniques for use in therapy. These same techniques can be beneficial in supervision. Using creative approaches in counseling supervision is catalytic for inspiring supervisees to include creative methods in their own work with clients. Books have frequently been used with clients to reach their mental health goals and incorporated into counseling supervision. This chapter will discuss the use of books in therapy, supervision, and provide case studies on its implementation.

Supervision is a critical element in the professional identity development of school counselors; however, available school counseling-specific supervision training is lacking. The authors describe a 4-hour supervision workshop based on the School Counselor Supervision Model (SCSM; Luke & Bernard, 2006) attended by 31 school counselors from three southern U.S. school districts. Employing a pre-experimental pretest-posttest research design using the Site Supervisor Self-Efficacy Survey-revised (DeKruyf, 2011), the authors found a significant positive relationship (t (30) = 9.31, p & .001; Cohen's d = 1.67) between supervision training and supervisor self-efficacy. These findings bolstered the efficacy of the SCSM. The authors discuss research and practical implications of this study.
