It is vital that social work students learn to integrate their
personal and professional selves if they are to meet the challenges
of social work in complex changing environments. This accessible
text is designed to enable readers to explore and build on their
existing skills and abilities, supporting them to become competent
and self-aware reflective practitioners. Reflective Thinking in
Social Work uses stories told by a range of social work students to
model reflective practice learning. Discussing issues such as
identity, motivation to enter the social work profession and lived
experiences in the journey into social work, the book brings
together stories of hardship, privilege, families, hopes, interests
and community activism from many diverse ethnic backgrounds. Each
narrative is introduced by the author and ends with a commentary
drawing out the key themes and exploring how the reader can use the
narrative to enhance their own understanding and critical thinking,
and to engage in transformative practice. Framed by an in-depth
discussion of available frameworks for reflective practice in
different contexts and the importance of narratives in constructing
identities, this is an invaluable text for social work students at
both bachelor's and master's degree levels.
