From the Back Cover

The need for reflective practice as an underpinning of high-quality practice across the human services, management and education is now well established. Increasingly, the need for this to be critically reflective practice is being recognized.

This important text is a revised and updated edition of a very well-received and much-appreciated book by two highly respected authors with a strong track record in explaining complex ideas clearly and accessibly without oversimplifying them.

Divided into two parts, the book focuses first on theoretical issues to help develop a sound foundation of understanding of critically reflective practice and then on practical guidance on how to make this type of practice a reality.

This is an ideal text for students, practitioners and managers alike.
