Reflective Practice helps nurses and midwives deal with the increased complexity and bureaucracy of their profession by constantly improving their work practices through reflection. Updated to include a new chapter, "The Taylor Model of Reflection," it defines the concept of reflective practice, explains its benefits, and offers practical advice on how practitioners can maintain it throughout their careers. ". . . a hopeful framework and a healing gift to all practicing nurses."--Jean Watson, distinguished professor of nursing, University of Colorado
