Pointing out Critical Events is a method that crossed several philosophical and methodological seasons. First used within a behavioural approach, it was later employed in a very different methodological environments and practical perspectives: organizational learning, phenomenology, reflective practice, constructivism, transformational learning, etc. Pointing out Critical Events is especially useful to focus on hidden aspects of daily practice, practitioners’ competencies, values and implicit theories. In this article the Author highlights differences and similarities among a number of approaches used in the Critical Events method. In the second part of the article some evidence based on practical experiences, and especially on two European Leonardo Projects (Reflect and Reflect-OR), will be discussed. Particular care is given to an appreciative use of Critical Events, especially in a nursing and midwifery professional environment.
