ABSTRACT
This chapter is about 'thinking about thinking'. More specifically, it is about thinking about thinking about social work. How are we to reflect critically and self-consciously about the discipline and profession? How are we to discuss the issues this raises, both as academic colleagues and in wider public arenas? We thus address the question 'What is critical reflection?', and (in a less detailed and a
Jessdirectway)thequestion'Whatcancriticalreflectiondo?'- i.e.inrespectof actingin/on'theworld'.
