The aim of this book is to illustrate, with practical examples, a new worldview or paradigmatic synthesis that we have called critical creativity. Designed to underpin transformational practice development and research within health and social care, this synthesis of criticality and creativity brings together critical social science, creative and ancient traditions, ecology, spirituality and human being. The ultimate purpose for such work is human flourishing for all involved; a concept that is much promoted in today’s health and social care as well as education.

The landscape of care, welfare and education is constantly changing. As a professional, you must be able to work with this changing reality on a daily basis. How can you implement new policy, respond well to changing questions from citizens, and current (social) events? In a way that has an impact and affects multiple domains, such as science, professional practice, education and society?
