Con la presente contribución se pretende abordar el tema de la práctica reflexiva en el ámbito del trabajo social. Las teorizaciones sobre la reflexividad, si bien numerosas y heterogéneas, pueden agruparse en torno a conceptos clave de «conocimiento» y «sociedad». Para pasar de la teoría de la reflexividad a la práctica de la reflexividad es necesario estructurar el propio análisis identificando objetivo, niveles y herramientas propias de un «trabajador social reflexivo» capaz de conectar, en un ciclo sin fin, experiencia, reflexión y acción. Es útil focalizar tal actividad en específicos eventos particularmente significativos, es decir en «eventos críticos», como por ejemplo los propios errores profesionales. Esta reflexión se puede llevar a cabo como momento de meditación con uno mismo, especialmente cuando es articulada a través de la utilización de «estructuras» reflexivas (consistentes en baterías de preguntas), pero aún más provechoso resulta ser el beneficio obtenido de una de las numerosas formas disponibles (analíticas o creativas) de escritura reflexiva. Existe además una dimensión colectiva de la reflexión que permite también prevenir situaciones de burnout y ampliar el propio «campo visual» en la práctica cotidiana.
This article explores the issue of reflective practice in social work. Theories on reflexivity are numerous and heterogeneous, but can be grouped around the key concepts of «knowledge » and «society.» To move from theory on reflexivity to practice of reflexivity it is necessary to structure our analysis by identifying the subject, levels and tools of a «reflective social worker» who is able to connect experience, reflection and action in an endless cycle. It is worthwhile to focus on an activity in specific and particularly significant events, in other words, on «critical events» such as professional errors. This reflection can be made as a moment of self-meditation, especially when it is articulated through the use of «frameworks» for reflection (consisting of sets of questions) however, the benefits can be increased by using one of the many available forms (analytical or creative) of reflective writing. There is also a collective dimension of reflection. This can also prevent burnout situations and expand our «vision » on daily practice.

Abstract
This article explores the issue of reflective practice in social work. Theories on reflexivity are numerous and heterogeneous, but can be grouped around the key concepts of «knowledge » and «society.» To move from theory on reflexivity to practice of reflexivity it is necessary to structure our analysis by identifying the subject, levels and tools of a «reflective social worker» who is able to connect experience, reflection and action in an endless cycle. It is worthwhile to focus on an activity in specific and particularly significant events, in other words, on «critical events» such as professional errors. This reflection can be made as a moment of self-meditation, especially when it is articulated through the use of «frameworks» for reflection (consisting of sets of questions) however, the benefits can be increased by using one of the many available forms (analytical or creative) of reflective writing. There is also a collective dimension of reflection. This can also prevent burnout situations and expand our «vision » on daily practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
