Annotation: Emergent Practice Planning encourages health and social service practitioners to embrace complexity in all aspects of their practice. Practitioners are bombarded by changing needs of clients and organizational and policy shifts, in a context of changing global social and economic conditions. Quick fixes and new fads are often offered as simple answers. As an alternative, Emergent Practice Planning encourages practitioners to work with the complexity of practice, informing them about practice assumptions, beliefs and values, theories, models, and frameworks for practice planning.

Emergent Practice Planning prepares front line practitioners to engage in a process of inquiry that promotes self-awareness, multiple perspectives, inclusion, collaboration, and accountability. The book promotes thoughtful and intentional planning to make informed choices that reflect an understanding of the multiple aspects of practice.

Emergent Practice Planning also encourages readers to:
*Reflect on what they do in practice and why;
*Learn about time-tested methods and processes for planning; and,
*Integrate their knowledge with skills and perspectives to bring about meaningful and effective plans and practice.

The book is applicable to practice in a wide range of health and social service disciplines and will be of particular interest to practitioners working with children, youth, and families. Emergent Practice Planning is an invaluable resource for school psychologists and counselors, social workers, child and youth care workers, nurses and psychologists, including upper-level students in these disciplines.
