Review

Review of the first edition of this title: "The text is highly readable, and the language is appropriate. The book will make a significant contribution to nursing literature, and I would recommend it as a valuable resource in the library and ward areas, as well as for individual practitioners." - Tanya Campbell, Bournemouth University, in Nursing & Residential Care, Vol 3, No 9. "This is a very easy to read book with many stories and examples of how reflection can be used in dealing with many life and patient situations. The situations are universal and can easily be adapted to readers' experiences. Many of the contributors have PhDs in a variety of fields and include nurses, educators, a psychologist, and a mathematician, providing a rich and diverse collection of stories and reflective examples." - 4 star review by Vicki Ann Moss.
