Identifying the 'critical' in a relationship-based model of reflection
This paper explores the critical potential of a relationship-based reflection model. The key psycho-dynamic and systemic concepts shaping the development of relationship-based practice and underpinning the reflection model are explored along with the contribution to the model that originates from Schon's work on reflective practice. The model is outlined and illustrated with a case example that highlights three key critical dimensions identified as integral to the model's functioning: inclusive knowledges and multiple perspectives, anxiety and containment and individual and collective responsibility and the diffusion of expertise. In conclusion, commonalities and potential synergies between critical and relationship-based models of reflection are identified

Abstract

This paper explores the critical potential of a relationship-based reflection model. The key psycho-dynamic and systemic concepts shaping the development of relationship-based practice and underpinning the reflection model are explored along with the contribution to the model that originates from Schon's work on reflective practice. The model is outlined and illustrated with a case example that highlights three key critical dimensions identified as integral to the model's functioning: inclusive knowledges and multiple perspectives, anxiety and containment and individual and collective responsibility and the diffusion of expertise. In conclusion, commonalities and potential synergies between critical and relationship-based models of reflection are identified
