This succinct and insightful text provides an important introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of critically reflective practice. Reflective practice is integral to professional education across the helping professions yet the term and the theories underpinning it remain confusing for very many people. The Critically Reflective Practitioner offers readers a clear foundation for understanding and a basis for developing knowledge and skills in practising reflectively.
It is singled out by: Its clear and careful integration of both the 'thinking' and 'doing' elements, Its logical and cohesive structure, which takes the reader through the main theories and principles in seven compact chapters, Its lucid exposition of complex topics through varied practice examples.
