Reflective Practice and Personal Development in Counselling and Psychotherapy

More than an 'introduction'

Reflective practice is a vital part of counselling and psychotherapy training and practice. This useful book reports on what it is, why it is important, and how to use different models for reflection and reflective practice to enhance your personal and professional development, as well as your work with clients.

The book moves from a history of reflective practice through to new models and developments in research, explaining many academic terms on the way. There are also detailed academic references throughout. I've seen it described elsewhere as an 'introduction' but I thought it was more than that!

Useful and practical activities are included, and the book comes alive through pertinent case studies.

I particularly enjoyed reading the sections on supervision and creative writing.
