“One of the lesser known but great successes of clinical
supervision over the past 25 years has been Dr. David J.
Powell’s innovative adaptation of this methodology to the
U.S. Navy’s alcohol treatment program. Under the title
Clinical Preceptorship, it provided licensed and credentialed
mentors to the Navy-trained counselors. Dr. Powell started this
program in 1976 at the U.S. Naval Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in
Norfolk, Virginia. Over the years, he has overseen its expansion to
about fifty bases worldwide, from Iceland to Cuba and from Diego
Garcia in the Indian Ocean to Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The
program also operates on the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers. As a
former commanding officer of the Naval Alcohol Rehabilitation
Center, Norfolk, I have experienced the Clinical Preceptorship
Program’s great value to the counselors. Further, having the
ability to confer with an impartial, knowledgeable person from
outside of the organization is of inestimable value to the
commanding officer—a person who may or may not have training
in the substance abuse field. Dr. Powell’s clinical
supervision expertise and his vision created a program that helped
save the military career and possibly the lives of thousands of
Navy and Marine Corps personnel, including my own.”
--Capt. Thomas J. Glancy Jr., United States Navy, retired
“David Powell has trained tens of thousands of substance
abuse professionals worldwide in the fine art of clinical
supervision. In addition to his vast expertise, his wisdom, warmth,
and genuineness have all contributed to making Clinical
Supervision in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling the premier
text in the field.”
--Patricia A. Burke, faculty, Rutgers Summer School of Alcohol and
Drug Studies
“David Powell, internationally recognized leader in
clinical supervision, has helped to significantly shape the way in
which addiction policy makers and counseling professionals
understand and perform critical supervisory functions. The blended
model, described in Clinical Supervision in Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Counseling, is user friendly and theoretically sound.
More than nine hundred clinical supervisors throughout New York
State attended his training and have incorporated the book’s
principles and techniques. This result is being seen in increasing
qualitative patient care. Clinical supervisors are well advised to
use this book as a foundation for their practice.”
--Pamela Mattel, president, Changing Dynamics Consulting and
Training
“Clinical supervision is a significant part of quality
alcoholism and drug abuse treatment. This comprehensive book, based
on David Powell’s blended model of clinical supervision is of
paramount importance to the alcoholism and drug abuse field
today.”
--Gail Gleason Milgram, director of education and training, Center
of Alcohol Studies, Rutgers University
“Powell’s text on clinical supervision continues to
be a mainstay in the development of supervisory skills for
the counseling profession. This landmark guide has become the
principal manual for trainers and clinicians who promote the
practice of clinical supervision in addiction
treatment.”
--Thomas G. Durham, director, Clinical Preceptorship Program for
U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, Danya International, Inc.
“Dr. Powell’s text continues to be the foundational
operational reference for our clinical supervisors. Even more
useful has been the training conducted by David for our Provincial
staff that further develops these essential concepts, strategies,
and their applications.”
