But with the growth in the number of directors has come an increased need to trains their supervisors. This collection of essays is one of the first books in the field that help with that training. Written by spiritual directors who have years of experience in supervision between them, this book engages some of the leading voices in the field in an explorations of a wide variety of issues: gender and sexuality; ethical dilemmas; working with diverse racial ethnic constituents; working with the differently abled; the parameters of supervision; and the supervision of beginning spiritual directors.
