Reflective Practice in Social Work (Transforming Social Work Practice Series)

Reflective Practice is a aspect of social work courses and this book is written to help develop reflective skills. Fully-updated to include the Professional Capability Framework for Social Work, there are sections on reflecting on emotion, using reflection as a catalyst for change and understanding the importance of good communication.

Written in three parts, this essential guide starts with a broad exploration of reflective practice, drawing on key texts that have informed its development. The authors then move on to real practice issues including the management of social work practice and collaborative working.
