Social Work Pocket Guides are an entirely new concept in social work. They are designed to help busy practitioners to get to the bottom of the What? Why? and How? of the chosen subject.

The Social Work Pocket Guide to Reflective Practice summarises theory and research in an accessible way and offers practical suggestions for skill development.

Reflective practice is a key component of social work practice. This Guide explores what is meant by reflective practice and why it is important in social work as a profession. Recognising the need for social workers and students to both develop their skills in reflective practice and to produce critically reflective assignments, a range of tips and guidelines are provided for the reader.

Siobhan Maclean is a registered social worker with a passion for practice education. Siobhan has written a number of publications for social workers and students including the immensely popular “Theory and Practice”. She is committed to making the knowledge base accessible for busy practitioners.
