description: The reflective process of critical self-evaluation is continuing to develop and to be recognised as a successful method, particularly with the introduction of clinical governance. With exceptional clarity, this timely text provides nurses and other health care professionals with a guide to all aspects of reflective practice. Through the course of eight chapters a range of structural approaches to reflective practice are introduced including individual and group supervision, reflective writing and reflective research. Readers are encouraged to be systematic and rigorous in their examination of practice, to learn from their actions and to challenge practical and theoretical knowledge. To facilitate understanding, each chapter is packed with interactive reflective writing exercises, suggestions for discussion and further reading. Critical Reflection for Nursing and the Helping Professions aims to offer clear frameworks and structures from which practitioners can learn to make a real difference to their practice. It is a uniquely practical user's guide to reflective practice for nurses and healthcare professionals at all levels.
