This succinct and insightful guide to reflective practice is designed for students and practitioners across a range of professions in the human services - social work, healthcare and related fields. In seven compact chapters, it takes the reader through the main theories and principles of reflective practice, drawing on concepts and findings from across the associated literature. Its clear and careful integration of both the 'thinking' and 'doing' elements of the complex and often challenging task of practising reflectively makes this an ideal text for students and practitioners alike.
New for this edition:
