Editor's Notes

  1. Ruch (2005) points to the need for containment in order for child-care social workers to respond to the complexity, uncertainty and risk in practice. She highlights how practitioners’ resulting anxiety is further compounded by the current risk averse and bureaucratic nature of steadily emerging technical-rational approaches to practice. These conditions impede the development and maintenance of reflective practice. Based on doctoral research, Ruch offers a model of holistic containment ; this model promotes the development of reflective practice in a way that integrates technical bureaucratic knowledge with knowledge that derives from more practical-moral sources.
