Reflective Practice in Social Work - Paperback

by Andy Mantell (Editor), Terry Scragg (Editor)

Reflective practice is at the heart of becoming a competent and confident social worker. It's both a key element of learning and development on social work courses and an important aspect of social work practice. This accessible and introductory text explores a range of approaches to reflective practice, its main aim being to help you as a student become more confident in answering key questions, including ′what is reflective practice?′, 'how do I develop as a reflective practitioner?', 'how do I maintain reflective practice in key contexts?'. There are sections on writing reflective journals, communicating well with service users and carers and reflective practice while on placements.
