People professions - such as social work, teaching, nursing,
ministry and counselling - are at heart ethical or moral
enterprises. Much recent theorizing has been concerned to show that
effective professional deliberation and judgement cannot be reduced
either to technical rationality or to simple obedience to general
occupational procedures or prescriptions. Professional judgement
would seem to require the development of a distinctive mode of
practical (ethical) reflection or 'wisdom' - perhaps along the
lines of Aristotle's 'phronesis' or practical wisdom. Reflection is
required to address such key professional concerns as: What is the
impact of official prescription and regulation on professional
judgement? How should conflicts of professional judgement and
public/political accountability be resolved? How might one
reconcile tensions between universal justice and equality and
particular client need? What is the role of emotion and/or affect
in 'people professional' practice? This ground-breaking work
addresses, in a thoroughly multidisciplinary way, the central
question of the nature of professional judgement and deliberation
that has recently come to the fore in the academic literature of
profession and professionalism. It proposes a marked shift - in
theory, practice and policy-making - away from technical-rational
approaches to professional decision-making in favour of reflection
and deliberation informed by responsible moral judgement. This
reflects a significant progressive trend in this literature by
taking practical wisdom, rather than technical rationality, to lie
at the heart of professional judgement. It is unique in bringing
together key authors from different professional fields to address
the issue of professional wisdom in a cross-professional and
multidisciplinary way.
