Description
Book SynopsisReflective practice is an essential skill for those working in health and social care, but why is it so vital and how can it be learned? As inter-disciplinary working becomes more common, finding shared ways of reflection on practice are becoming more and more important.
Trade Review“This is a very good book, clearly written, easy to read and definitely worth a place in any social worker’s collection.”
