The Breining Research and Education Foundation developed The Clinical Supervisor: Training Manual for Clinical Supervisor Competency in the Addiction Treatment Setting with the goal of developing a meaningful training manual to assist addiction professionals become clinical supervisors, or to improve their skills in clinical supervision.

"[H]elpful to the student studying to become a supervisor as well as a helpful manual for reference for the practicing supervisor."
Susan Blacksher, MSW, MCA, Executive Director, California Association of Addiction Recovery Resources (CAARR)

With the generous academic contributions of a number of distinguished clinicians, supervisors, program managers and educators in the field of addictions, the Manual uses as a guide the recommendations suggested within the "Competencies for Substance Abuse Treatment Clinical Supervisor" Technical Assistance Publication Series 21-A (also know as the "TAP 21-A Supervisor Competencies"), primarily the Section III Foundation Areas, and the Section IV Performance Domains.

"I think what I like most about this manual is the fact that it explains the many facets of clinical supervision in an easily discernable fashion."
Warren Daniels III, CADC II, ICADC, CCJP, Chief Executive Officer, Community Recovery Resources; Chair, California Foundation for the Advancement of Addiction Professionals (CFAAP)

We hope that this Manual provides valuable information for the individual desiring to improve his/her competency as a clinical supervisor in an addiction treatment setting.
