Educators, Therapists, and Artists on Reflective Practice

Educators, Therapists, and Artists on Reflective Practice is a dynamic interpretation of transformational learning in education and therapy that brings together writers from various disciplines to recount their common experiences of being changed by those whom they mentor and guide. This book demonstrates that the reward for revealing vulnerabilities is a truly human connection that expands the roles of teacher and student, as well as therapist and client. By exploring contemporary concepts in reciprocal learning, the authors challenge and inspire their readers to examine their own engagement in the process of lifelong transformative learning.
