In this book we focus on changing patterns of professional practice in health, education and the creative arts. In each of these areas professional practice care is undergoing major reform in a complex and rapidly changing environment.  \u003cp\u003eThis multi-authored text explores professional practice in four key dimensions: doing, knowing, being and becoming. These concepts have been chosen to represent professional practice as much more than applying learned knowledge in practice situations. The authors present professional practice as a lived and dynamic experience as well as a process, a service for (and with) others, and a way of being and behaving. The text explores the essential unity of knowledge and practice, through discourse, narrative, imagery and critical debate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a book for all those seeking to learn and to improve practice.\u003c\/p\u003e  List of Contributors. \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1: Introduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Framing professional practice; Knowing and doing in context; Doing, knowing, being and becoming: The nature of professional practice; Our collaborative inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2: Dimensions of professional practice:\u003c\/b\u003e Practising without certainty: Providing health care in an uncertain world; The meaning(s) of uncertainty in treatment decision making; Finding the fifth player: Artistry in professional practice; Embodying knowledges: Challenging the theory\/practice divide; Exploring relationships in health care practice; Technology and the depersonalisation of knowledge and practice; The research-sensitive practitioner; The practice-sensitive researcher.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 3: Journeying on professional practice:\u003c\/b\u003e Using autobiographical narrative and reflection to link personal and professional domains; Students and educators learning within relationships; Becoming in professional practice: An exemplar; Transforming practice; Articulating practice; Whether the twain shall meet: Knowledge and practice in the education of health and human service professionals; Parallel journeys in professional practice; Developing creative arts expertise; Weaving the body, the creative unconscious, imagination and the arts into practice development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 4 Reflections:\u003c\/b\u003e Professional practice: Walking alone with others; Towards professional artisty and creativity in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ci\u003e\"A stimulating and thought-provoking book, one to savour for its ideas and to enjoy for its artistry...Occupational therapists should try it\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eBritish Journal of Occupational Therapy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“The book has a unique contribution to make that will complement existing texts.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Tables and figures are generally clear and complementary.
