Zusammenfassung: | This chapter explores the links between practice development (PD) and critical social science (CSS). The political roots of PD reflect its radical and activist origins as practitioner‐led enquiry guided by an emancipatory interest. The PD movement emerging in the 1980‐1990s crystallised a new wave of critical‐emancipatory scholarship in nursing. A facilitator working in the emancipatory worldview explores how workplace culture is shaped by the wider structures of power and dominant ideology. The chapter describes how CSS informed an aspect of practice within the study and how awareness of theory enabled the researcher to support staff to work through a crisis. At the core of PD there is an explicit focus on person centredness and the development of person‐centred cultures. As a foundation of PD, CSS provides a framework for generating practitioners who understand identity as the basis of who they are and relationship as the connections to others in practice. |
