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.
