Becoming a Practitioner-Researcher - A Gestalt Approach to Holistic Inquiry (Paperback, 2nd ed.)

Learning from the workplace, reflection on practice and lifelong learning today are acknowledged as central to effective continuing professional development. In contrast to strategies based on the scientific method and the use of empirical evidence, the gestalt approach places investigators at the centre of their own practice. It aims to build a picture of awareness by prioritising how people perceive, feel and act. Becoming a Practitioner-Researcher is designed as an indispensable guide to anyone undertaking investigations in complex or changing organisational settings and will be relevant to all professionals who work with people and groups.
