Product Description

Reflective practice is a key learning and development process on social work courses. This book looks at the concept of reflection and reflective social work practice from a more critical stance than previous texts, and in accessible ways involving case material and practical tasks. Divided into two parts, the main section of the book will examine some of the more difficult and radical applications of the concept - for example emotionally intelligent workers, dangerousness, men in social work and inter-professional leadership. The final section will explore how a reflective approach to practice can be maintained and enhanced in the workplace.

Review
This book is informative and offers useful guidance to students to help develop their skills of reflection within social work practice. Chapter on Professional Dangerousness is particularly helpful. --Lecturer, Belfast Metropolitan College

Good introductory text on reflective practice. I like the down to earth approach and its accessibility which is enhanced by the practical examples throughout the book. --Teaching Fellow, University of Stirling

The book provides a clear examination of the concept of reflective practice. The case studies and exercises in this book are very useful tools. The chapter on listening to service users and carers is very well written and highlights the importance of partnership work. --Lecturer, University of Wales, Bangor
