This book provides an accessible overview of the influential Fook/Gardner Critical Reflection framework for students, researchers and professionals.

'Jan Fook and Fiona Gardner have the enviable knack of making very practical connections between different theoretical perspectives on critical reflection and its application in organizational and community settings. This edited collection provides us with some vivid case studies of critical reflection in action and will be helpful to teachers and practitioners seeking to understand how this process plays itself out in practice.' - Stephen D. Brookfield, Distinguished University Professor, University of St. Thomas, USA.
'Critical reflection is a powerful way of thinking and doing. This excellent book has international reach and provides a narrative for professionals working at the front line of practice, education and research. It tells stories of professionals applying critical reflection to enhance practice, organisational change and personal learning. If you dip into the book you will find practical gems, and if you read longer, theoretical development emerges from the practical applications. There is something for everyone.' - Professor Fiona Ross, Dean of Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, Kingston University and St George's, University of London, UK.
