‘…an important text for practitioners…this text is a
valuable tool that develops self-inquiry skills.’
Journal of Advanced Nursing
Reflection is widely recognised as an invaluable tool in health
care, providing fresh insights which enable practitioners to
develop their own practice and improve the quality of their care.
Guided Reflection: A Narrative Approach to Advancing
Professional Practice introduces the practitioner to the
concept of guided reflection, in which the practitioner is assisted
by a mentor (or ‘guide’) in a process of self-enquiry, development,
and learning through reflection in order to effectively realise
one’s vision of practice and self as a lived reality.
Guided reflection is grounded in individual practice, and can
provide deeply meaningful insights into self-development and
professional care. The process results in a reflexive narrative,
which highlights key issues for enhancing healthcare practice and
professional care. Reflection: A Narrative Approach to Advancing
Professional Practice uses a collection of such narratives from
everyday clinical practice to demonstrate the theory and
practicalities of guided reflection and narrative construction. In
this second edition, Chris Johns has explored many of the existing
narratives in more depth. Many new contributions have been
added including several more innovative reflections, such as
performance and art.These narratives portray the values inherent in
caring, highlight key issues in clinical practice, reveal the
factors that constrain the quest to realise practice, and examine
the ways practitioners work towards overcoming these constraints.
