xvii, 170 p. : illus. ; pbk ; 25 cm. This book is part of the Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice series written specifically to support students undertaking degrees in Counselling and Psychotherapy. These books are practical in focus, concentrate on linking theory to everyday practice, and are full of interactive features to aid learning. -- Reflective Practice is a key element of counselling and psychotherapy training and is a fundamental aspect of effective practice. This book explores the notion of reflection by guiding students and practitioners through the history of reflective practice, from its origins with Donald Schon through to ideas of knowledge and power and how the counsellor or psychotherapist deals with issues surrounding the `self'. A central theme of the book is the concept of self-reflection and what motivates a therapist to do an often difficult and sometimes emotionally-complex job. Other areas covered include self-therapy, using peer groups to reflect, the importance of critical and analytical thinking and the importance of research and analysis in practice. -- Written specifically for undergraduate students on counselling and psychotherapy courses, this book explores the idea that the reflective practice in counselling and psychotherapy is a developing phenomena rather than something static. It also looks at the debates around regulation and training of counsellors and psychotherapists and is full of practical activities to develop the student's understanding and learning. --Book Jacket.
