Re-thinking the Relationship between Theory and Practice: Practitioners as Map-Readers, Map-Makers--or Jazz Players?
Collin, Audrey
British Journal of Guidance and Counselling, v24 n1 p67-81 Feb 1996
Discusses practitioners' doubts about the value of theory in counseling. The relationship between theory and practice is a sensitive one in the debate on competencies, and an illuminating one in that on postmodernism. Practice is improvisational, and is refined by frameworks provided by theory, critical thinking, and "reflective practice." Discusses implications of theory and practice in counseling. (KW)
