Synopsis

The terms 'critical reflection' and 'reflective practice' are at the heart of modern healthcare. But what do they really mean? Building on its ground-breaking predecessor, entitled Critical Reflection for Nursing and the Helping Professions, this heavily revised second edition analyses and explores reflection. It presents a structured method that will enable you to both challenge and develop your own practice. Full of clear and practical guidance, it includes: - real-life case studies to illustrate the significance of reflection to practice - a detailed framework for understanding and producing reflective writing - chapters on the role of reflection in supervision and research - 'reflective moments' - activities encouraging independent reflection. Expanded to meet the needs of all healthcare practitioners, this text redefines self-evaluation as a catalyst for personal and professional development. It is the essential guide to critical reflection for all students, academics and practitioners.

Book Overview: Once again an excellent text for both BSc and MSc levels - Pat Williams, Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies, Cardiff University, UK We will definitely add this book to the reading list... - Susan Thomas, Faculty of Health & Applied Social Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, UK This is an excellent text that considers critical reflection in a meaningful manner - Joanne Atkinson, School of Health, Community & Education Studies, Northumbria University, UK I like the clear definition of critical reflection and the importance of analysis within this. The chapters give a range of techniques which cater for different learning styles and approaches. The strategies for reflective writing (chapter 5) I found particularly useful both for myself and for sharing with students - Janet Wilson, Senior Nursing Lecturer, Faculty of Health and Wellbeing, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
