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.

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 content which looks at the significance of reflective practice for management and leadership.
  • Clearer links across reflective learning, personal growth and spirituality.
