'The book as a whole is well written, and serves as an excellent compendium ... The inclusion of useful reading and questions to stimulate reflection at the end of each chapter does point theorists in the right direction of ideas and texts. The book is an excellent first read for those needing to be initiated into the world of CPD, and is therefore highly recommended at this point of time.' - Escalate
