Publisher description

Summary: This book examines five professions engineering, architecture, management, psychotherapy, and town planning to show how professionals really go about solving problems.The best professionals, the author maintains, know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work, they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated, largely unexamined process is the subject of his provocatively original book, an effort to show precisely how reflection-in-action works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals.
