Reflective Practice for Coaches: A Guidebook for Advanced Professional Development
by Iain McCormickThis practical evidence-based guide to running Reflective Practice professional development programmes provides a dynamic and engaging resource for a wide range of coaches. Reflective Practice is a proven learning and development approach that involves consciously and deliberately thinking about experiences to develop insights and apply these within coaching practice. McCormick argues that it is vital that coaches regularly reflect on their work to develop and grow professionally, and this book provides a definitive and rich source of material on how and what to reflect on. Topics include how to reflect as an individual coach; working in pairs and small groups; applying reflective practice in a training context; and how to run advanced group sessions for coaches. The book features a wide range of practical workbook exercises to challenge the reader’s current practice and extend their capability, as well as an evidence-based guide to enhancing skills in recently developed areas such as Unified Protocol Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internet Supplemented Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Using Schema Therapy with Mindfulness Techniques. Written by a highly experienced executive coach, this book is full of practical and effective ways to become more capable and proficient. It is essential reading for any career, life or executive coach who wishes to enhance their coaching capability through reflective practice, as well as for coaching training organisations, senior executive coaches offering sessions for other coaches, and academic institutions offering coaching qualifications.
Reflective Practice in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy: Listening to Young People
by Jeanine ConnorTherapy referrals for a child or young person can be motivated for a number of reasons. The parents, carers or professionals responsible for their wellbeing might describe a sudden change in presentation, risk taking behaviour, such as self-harm or experimentation with drugs, alcohol or sex, or they might label the young person as over reacting, under reacting or attention seeking. Such behaviour prompts concern for their safety and confusion about why the child or young person is presenting the way they are. This book offers a thoughtful approach to making sense of such behaviour and encourages adults to ‘reflect on’ rather than ‘react to’ young peoples’ outward presentations. Based on the author’s work with children, young people and families over two decades, this book shares reflections from the therapy room and illustrates how the therapist can try to make sense of mood, behaviour and presentations that previously made no sense. The content relies heavily on clinical experience as well as drawing on classical and contemporary psychotherapeutic literature. So often adults find themselves reacting to observable behaviour in a judgmental or punitive way, rather than pausing to consider what the behaviour might be communicating. The author aims to model a thoughtful reflective approach to making sense of what might be going on for children and young people and this book will be of great interest to child and adolescent psychotherapists, related professionals and those with an interest in young persons’ mental health.

Reflective Practice in Teaching: Pre-service Teachers and the Lens of Life Experience (Reflective Teaching Ser.)
by Gretchen Geng Pamela Smith Paul Black Yoshi Budd Leigh DisneyThis book investigates the ways in which pre-service teachers develop and articulate their professional knowledge by presenting their reflections on contemporary issues and topics they have explored during their own teaching practicums. It uses reflective practice to connect pre-service teachers’ personal backgrounds with their placement experience concerning a self-selected topic, including teacher educators’ reflections on the pre-service teachers’ reports on these placement topics. By illustrating the broad range of issues encountered by pre-service teachers, sharing multiple perspectives on the complexity of classroom practice, and demonstrating the importance of reflective practice, it also provides a valuable mentoring framework. Moreover, the book studies how examining pre-service teachers’ life experience can facilitate in-depth understanding, specifically in the context of pre-service teachers’ reflections on their own practices in different educational settings. In short, the book helps current and prospective pre-service teachers and teacher educators get to know their students and themselves better using reflective practice.
Reflective Practice in the Sport and Exercise Sciences: Critical Perspectives, Pedagogy, and Applied Case Studies
by Brendan Cropley Zoe Knowles Andy Miles Emma HuntleyWithin the Sport and Exercise Sciences (SES) and allied disciplines, reflective practice has become firmly established as a fundamental aspect of education, professional training and development, and applied service delivery. This has resulted in an emerging, context-specific evidence base that has attempted to make sense of the application and utility of reflective practice as a mechanism to facilitate personal and professional growth through experiential learning, and subsequently develop the knowledge required to navigate the complexities of applied practice. This new and fully revised edition of Reflective Practice in the Sport and Exercise Sciences explores the contemporary conceptual landscape, critical perspectives, pedagogy, and applied considerations in reflective practice in the SES and allied disciplines. Contributions from scientists, researchers, practitioners, and academics offer innovative perspectives of reflective practice, founded on a synthesis of the contemporary empirical evidence base and applied practitioner experience. These contributions challenge academic and/or practice-based audiences regarding the utility, research, and representation of reflective practice, while offering critical insights into the application of different approaches to reflective practice. Based on exploring the crucial interface between learning and practice, this book is important reading for all who work in the SES and allied disciplines, and, more widely, any professional aiming to become a more effective practitioner. This book is endorsed by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences.

The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think In Action
by Donald A. SchönA leading M. I. T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions--engineering, architecture, management, psychotherapy, and town planning--to show how professionals really go about solving problems. <P><P>The best professionals, Donald Schön maintains, know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work, they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated, largely unexamined process is the subject of Schön's provocatively original book, an effort to show precisely how "reflection-in-action" works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals.
Reflective Thinking in Educational Settings
by Alessandro Antonietti Emanuela Confalonieri Antonella Marchetti Alessandro Antonietti Emanuela ConfalonieriThis volume examines the role that culture plays in the acquisition of cognitive, linguistic, and social skills. Taking reflective thinking as a central analytical concept, the contributors investigate the role of personal reflection in a series of mental activities, including the creation of social relationships, the creation of a mental narrative to make sense of events, and metacognition. These three types of cognition are usually conceived of as separate research fields. Metarepresentation and Narrative in Educational Settings draws these discrete subfields into dialogue, exploring the connections and interplay among them. This approach yields insight into a range of topics, including language acquisition, cognitive processes, Theory of Mind, cross-cultural interaction, and social development. The volume also outlines the implications of these findings in terms of further research and possible social policy initiatives.

Reflexiones sobre el exilio: Ensayos literarios y culturales seleccionados por el autor
by Edward W. SaidLa selección definitiva de los ensayos culturales y literarios de Edward W. Said realizada por el propio autor. Este libro reúne ensayos sobre temas culturales y literarios escritos por Edward W. Said a lo largo de tres décadas de intenso trabajo intelectual y político. Vistos en conjunto y con la perspectiva crítica que concede el tiempo, estos textos -seleccionados por el propio autor como compendio de su carrera humanista- nos ofrecen la oportunidad de contemplar la evolución y formación de un combativo profesor, un hombre de palabra y acción, así como el desarrollo de una vocación por el conocimiento del mundo llevada hasta sus últimas consecuencias. De sus reflexiones sobre la cultura popular, que le llevan a calificar a Tarzán de «exiliado permanente» o evocar la figura de la bailarina del vientre Tahia Carioca, al machismo y la tauromaquia de Hemingway, pasando por las diferencias que distinguen ciudades como Alejandría y El Cairo, o sus indispensables capítulos sobre música (Gould, Boulez, Wagner, Beethoven y Bach), el autor de Orientalismo expone en estos artículos su punto de vista inteligente y siempre contrario a la edificación de cánones literarios. Reseña:«El retrato de una vida intelectual ejemplar en la cual rigor y claridad se unen con coraje y compromiso [...] Esta es, con toda seguridad, una de las obras más importantes de la cultura y las humanidades que América ha producido en los últimos años.»Martha C. Nussbaum, The New York Times Book Review
Reflexive Governance for Research and Innovative Knowledge
by Marc MaesschalckThe governance theories that have developed over the past twenty years offer a new framework to consider and examine the collective conditions of a “Responsible Research and Innovation – RRI” linked up with the policy challenges of a society in transition in all its modes of regulation. This book will recall the genesis of the reflexive point of view in the context of the development of the theory of governance. It will then develop the strengths of the model and finally, will show the fruitfulness of its application to the field of the RRI.
The Reflexive Imperative in Late Modernity
by Margaret S. ArcherThis book completes Margaret Archer's trilogy investigating the role of reflexivity in mediating between structure and agency. What do young people want from life? Using analysis of family experiences and life histories, her argument respects the properties and powers of both structures and agents and presents the 'internal conversation' as the site of their interplay. In unpacking what 'social conditioning' means, Archer demonstrates the usefulness of 'relational realism'. She advances a new theory of relational socialisation, appropriate to the 'mixed messages' conveyed in families that are rarely normatively consensual and thus cannot provide clear guidelines for action. Life-histories are analysed to explain the making and breaking of the various modes of reflexivity. Different modalities have been dominant from early societies to the present and the author argues that modernity is slowly ceding place to a 'morphogenetic society' as meta-reflexivity now begins to predominate, at least amongst educated young people.

Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education: Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity
by Joan G. DeJaeghereResponding to both the increase of mixed methods research (MMR) and the lack of dialogue about its philosophical and methodological practices in comparative and international education (CIE) Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education: Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity offers readers an overview of different philosophical approaches to mixed methods, as well as the practical processes to engage in MMR with reflexivity.Comparing reflexivity to a kaleidoscope, the author describes how it can be used throughout the research process to engage with different paradigms and methods, as well as to integrate findings and consider emerging interconnections. The book discusses various ways to reflexively adapt designs, methods, and analyses, and integrate findings in MMR to better contextualize knowledge in the field of CIE. It illustrates different approaches to MMR through various case summaries, and each chapter poses reflexive questions for researchers to consider during their research projects. It emphasizes a critical realist approach, particularly for how it involves epistemological pluralism while also offering contingent explanations to educational questions. Through a reflexive approach, the book offers possibilities for conducting better and more epistemically just MMR.This is fascinating reading for both new and more experienced researchers to expand the craft of researching with MM. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams, as well as sole researchers, will find concrete research practices in the book for employing reflexive MMR to understand complex educational issues.
Reflexive Psychopathologie: Erkenntnislehre und Menschenkunde im klinischen Kontext
by Peter SchönknechtPsychopathologie stellt den Begriffsapparat dar, mit dem Veränderungen, Störungen oder Krankheiten der Psyche erfasst werden können. Das methodische Verständnis von Psychopathologie ist umstritten und variiert in Abhängigkeit davon, ob man psychische Phänomene mit biologischen, psychologischen oder soziologischen Methoden untersucht. Psychopathologie hat die – immer schon begriffliche – Erfassung psychischer Veränderung als solcher zum Ziel und versteht sich nicht als alternative Methode neben den Naturwissenschaften, sondern als Grundlagenwissenschaft psychischer Verfasstheit überhaupt. Ihr Untersuchungsgegenstand erfordert eine Methode, die neben dem Instrument der fachbegrifflichen Erkenntnis auch das Verhältnis der erkennenden Subjekte zu ihrem Gegenstandsbereich einschließt – oder anders ausgedrückt, Psychopathologie kann als Grundlagenwissenschaft erst im Ergebnis ihrer Methodenreflexion wirken. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches werden die zentralen Kategorien der Psychopathologie parallel zu ihrer transzendentalphilosophischen Begründung vorgestellt. Auf diesem Hintergrund lassen sich die Mehrzahl der behaupteten Methodenkonflikte als Dilemmata ausweisen. Am Beispiel des Wahnsyndroms soll der Versuch einer fachbegrifflichen Auflösung der Dilemmata geprüft werden. Im zweiten Teil werden die Erträge der Diskussion um den spezifischen Charakter des Psychischen dargestellt und als zirkulär oder dogmatisch kritisiert. Gleichermaßen sollen die Merkmale gelungener Deutungsversuche untersucht und auf ihre Anschlussfähigkeit hin geprüft werden. Ertragreich erwies sich die Begründung der Psychopathologie als Idee der Bewusstheit einer rationalen Psychologie. Als Kriterien für eine sinnvolle psychopathologische Begriffsbildung wurden die Transparenz für die Trias von Intention, Intension und Extension, die Formen des Umgangs mit Ungewissheit und die Relativität von Verstehensbemühungen herausgearbeitet.
Reflexive Sozialpsychologie: Ambivalenzen Und Potenziale Eines Neuen Altersbildes In Der Flexiblen Arbeitswelt (essentials #8)

Zudem sind Jobnomaden, Freelancer und Zeitarbeitende oft von betrieblicher Gesundheitsförderung ausgeschlossen. Wie und von wem können diese Gruppen bei der Gesundheitsprävention unterstützt werden? Der Band beleuchtet diese Fragen aus verschiedenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven und unterfüttert die Argumentation mit empirischen Erkenntnissen.
The Reflexivity of Language and Linguistic Inquiry: Integrational Linguistics in Practice (Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory)
by Dorthe DunckerThis book explores the reflexivity of language both from the perspective of the lay speaker and the linguistic analyst. Linguistic inquiry is conditional upon linguistic reflexivity, but so is language. Without linguistic reflexivity, we would not be able to make sense of everyday linguistic communication, and the idea of a language would not be conceivable. Not even fundamental notions such as words or meaning would exist. Linguistic reflexivity is a feature of the communication process, and it essentially depends on situated participants and time. It is a defining characteristic of the human language but despite its obvious importance, it is not very well understood theoretically, and it is strangely under-researched empirically. Throughout history and in modern linguistics, it has mostly either been taken for granted, misconstrued, or ignored. Only integrational linguistics fully recognizes its specifically linguistic implications. However, integrational linguistics does not provide the necessary methodological basis for investigating linguistic phenomena empirically. This catch-22 situation means that the goal of the book is twofold: one part is to explore the reflexivity of language theoretically, and the other part is to propose an applied integrational linguistics and to implement this proposal in practice.
Refocused Psychotherapy as the First Line Intervention in Behavioral Health: As The First Line Intervention In Behavioral Health
by Nicholas A Cummings Janet L CummingsWritten by father-daughter psychologists Nick and Janet Cummings, this text provides proven patient-responsive interventions by practitioners who together have nearly a century of hands-on practice and innovation between them. Refocused Psychotherapy responds directly to the recent decline of psychosocial services and helps to put psychotherapy back as the first line intervention in mental health. The authors teach psychotherapists how to work side by side with primary care physicians to provide efficacy, effectiveness, and efficiency—the standards psychotherapeutic intervention is held up to. Detailed case studies are followed up by discussions of diagnosis, personality type, homework, and therapeutic techniques that show readers how to form their own case conceptualizations. The authors also teach readers how to treat their patients individually and to diagnose effectively through their onion/garlic conceptualization. Finally, they provide lists of common abbreviations that are helpful to know when reading prescriptions, and lists of drugs, drug interactions, dosage, and side effects that expand readers’ vocabulary and allow them to be more knowledgeable as they work with primary care physicians. These innovative and revealing techniques will help readers develop the skills necessary for cost-effective therapeutic results.
