supervisees with a brief synopsis of each book prior to selection could be beneficial in
supporting the choice for BGS.
Conclusion
Throughout their coursework candidates are challenged to explore ways to build alliances with
clients. Once the basics of how to think and behave like a professional counselor are put into
practice through the practicum experience, it is time to consider how to motivate supervisees to
develop a curiosity about a wide array of clients and their presenting problems.
The author sees a need to vary the standard case-based presentation in the final semester
of supervision. The approach and variation offered using bibliotherapy provides counselor
educators a unique way to connect supervisees with present and future clients/patients or
consumers by adding emotion those books can evoke to the thinking and behaving elements of
their graduate experience.
