As a book that will probably be attractive to both final-year and PQ students considering ways of improving and invigorating their practice, this text provides an effective introduction to critical thinking and judgement because it offers a balanced proportionate oversight of literature and key issues: it does what it says it does—I love that! It refers to a raft of well-known age-old writers on critical reflection (e.g. Brookfield, 1987; Schὂn, 1997) and more contemporary ones referring to aspects of risk assessment, judgement and decision making (e.g. Taylor, 2013), capturing the need for much more focused post-qualifying training in the wake of the Laming Report (2009) and move towards more specific education and training for newly qualified social workers and then those in their Assessed First Year in Practice (ASYE). Unfortunately, ASYE is not discussed because the book appears more focused on cognate understanding of critical thinking and judgement in an introductory manner rather than policy and practice capabilities or knowledge and skills statements. This means potentially good chapters analysing critical thinking and reflection at the ASYE stage of a career are lost in this edition. For example, the Professional Capabilities Framework for ASYE refers to showing creativity in tackling and solving problems, and using critically reflective techniques to evaluate information and test hypothesis (see BASW, 2017).

Critical Thinking and Professional Judgement for Social Work
- Lynne Rutter - Bournemouth University, UK
- Keith Brown - Bournemouth University, UK
This is a terrific little text that outlines the importance of critical reflection and gives some really good advice about writing. Short and easy to read, this book has been recommended to social work practitioners undertaking postgraduate qualification alongside their full-time work commitments.
Critical thinking is the area of practice that most of my students have difficulty with. This book is accessible to them, and provides clear definitions, explains them, and provides practical suggestions on improving this vital skill.
As someone who teaches ASYE modules, this books has provided practical and theoretical support for a number of qualified workers.
The book is very easy to navigate and sets out the basic principles of critical thinking in language accessible to social workers. An excellent choice for any practitioner.
A very good resource with some very well presented,accessible and useful examples in relation to key concepts explored to help students with previous social work experience to develop critical thinking skills.It provides a rich resource for continuous professional development. The series of examples presented are very helpful for students seeking tools to help them be more critical in their academic work.
Perhaps a wider range of formats might have been used to present some of the material, inspire creativity and to suit a wider range of learning styles especially given the target audience of those with more practice experience but perhaps less confidence in their academic writing skills. More attention might also have been given to critical thinking and presentation of ideas within the interprofessional context of practice.
A very useful addition to any aspect of a social work programme focussing on development of core skills of reflective practice.
