      abstract = {This book discusses complex motivational conditions and  strategies on macro, meso, and micro levels promoting  reflectivity in interpersonal professional practice. The  increasing demands made on practitioners in social and  health services, as illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic,  can lead to great uncertainty over how to find "the right  response" to complex expressions of need and how to account  for ethical professional decisions in view of prevailing  strategies of 'risk reduction' and managerial accounting.  Reflectivity has been recognised as being of central  importance for guiding practitioners towards situationally  differentiated and accountable practice. However, it is a  complex process made up not only of different psychological  components and their interplay with educational and  organisational contexts, but also of multilevel  interactions and purely situational conditions that can  have positive or negative effects. The individual and team  reflectivity can be learned and supported through various  educational and managerial opportunities, sensitively  guided personal and professional experiences and specific  patterns of interaction which are reviewed in the book.  Reflective supervision in the workplace plays a pivotal  role in enabling individual and team reflective processes.  However, there are also social and organisational factors  that can hinder the development of individual and team  reflectivity. The particular value of this publication is  that the authors focus on complex research findings from  several consecutive studies and critically review and  discuss the conditions for reflectivity from various  perspectives and with the background of rich academic  literature and research. Their research-derived empirical  and analytical insights were submitted to managers and  educators, and effective and realistic strategies and  methods to enhance different levels of reflectivity in  students and practitioners were discussed and are  summarised in this volume. Among the topics covered: The  significance of reflectivity in professional social and  health care in relation to changing socio-political  contexts Gender aspects of reflectivity in the social and  healthcare field Operationalisation of reflectivity for  research by personal, team and organisational scales  Cultural and communicational patterns of interaction  enabling professional reflective processes Enhancing  Professionality Through Reflectivity in Social and Health  Care is pertinent reading for professors of professional  academic training programmes for social workers, nurses,  supervisors, trainers in non-formal learning settings,  students, and managers of social and health services with  an interest in enhancing organisational cultures.},
