Reviews

With persuasive invitation, Morley calls on social practitioners to invent new ways of efficacious action, new ways and actions that can give hope to the helpless people with whom they work, by making the voice of the voiceless heard. Patricia Higham, Emeritus Professor, Nottingham Trent University

'Using sexual assault services as an example, this book demonstrates how liberating the theory and processes of critical reflection can be for those working in potentially challenging and disempowering situations. The framework for practitioners and their clients engenders a sense of hope and possibility, to see opportunities for action that can lead to personal and system change.' Fiona Gardner, La Trobe University, Australia 'Morley's work communicates how critical reflection can enable practitioners to overcome dominant discourses, transcend powerlessness and construct alternative ways of reasoning and acting. Case studies of frontline workers provide clear guidance on activating critical reflection to achieve emancipatory approaches. This accessible book written by a leader in the field will appeal to human service practitioners, educators and those tasked with developing policies and practices.' Linda Briskman, La Trobe University, Australia
