This article summarizes the evolution in thinking about trauma and its impact on those who have experienced it. The nature of trauma-informed (TI) practice and care and implications for field instruction are then explained. This discussion is based upon the assumption that skills of social work field instruction that already have an evidence base lay the foundation for TI field instruction. Composite case examples drawn from the author's experiences as a field liaison, a practitioner who works with trauma survivors, and an instructor in the generalist practice curriculum illustrate methods and skills of field instruction from a trauma informed perspective.

This article examines therapeutic use of self in light of theoretical considerations and recent empirical findings. Two different sets of behaviors are distinguished: transparency and self-disclosure. The article examines how the supervisor can promote supervisees' understanding of and engagement in therapeutic use of self as well as how the supervisor can use herself or himself to enhance the supervisory alliance and model appropriate use of self with clients. Case examples illustrate the ethical, theoretical, and evidencebased considerations that should guide use of self in practice and supervision.
