Frames and Reframing
Frames and Reframing
Reflection breaks down for two reasons: the person doing it gets in their own way, and the way they have framed the situation hides what matters. This chapter looks at both. It covers the personal blocks that interfere with honest reflection, the questions that pull thinking out of a rut, the idea of a frame as a structure of belief, methods for surfacing the assumptions buried inside a frame, and a practical tool for changing perspective when stuck.
The eight inner blocks that derail honest reflection and the practical fixes for each
Backward-looking and outward-looking questions that move thinking from theory to action
Why a frame is more than a viewpoint, and how metaphors carry frames into the work
Surfacing hidden assumptions and values inside a frame, and testing them against reality
Theories-in-use, the chain of whys, and inductive action planning for daily practice
A four-perspective grid for stepping out of stuck thinking using the 4Ps approach
