Full Description
This book is a commonsense guide to becoming a reflective practitioner, written by a practitioner for practitioners. This second edition is fully revised and updated, incorporating extensive new material emphasizing hands-on tools, worksheets, and guides along with practical advice for those interested in adopting reflective practice individually or in a group setting. It also provides useful resources, step-by-step instructions, and more case studies and commentaries from practitioners.
Every person in a conflict resolution process sees the world differently and acts in a distinctive manner. Yet, by following well-developed practice routines, practitioners often fail to consider the unpredictability of human interactions and overlook behaviors that are inconsistent with their expectations. To respond effectively to surprising and unpredictable events, this book encourages practitioners to adapt their thinking, so they can use their knowledge and skills when situations do not match their assumptions or are inconsistent with their practice routines.
