Abstract Crucial to the idea of normative professionalization in this publication is the notion of amor complexitatis, as described by Kunneman. For us as a research group, however, it is a notion which remains hard to define. Kunneman describes amor complexitatis as a postmodern acceptance of the ‘muddy complexities’ which a professional is confronted with – an image coined by Schön in his work on the reflective practitioner (Schön, 1987).
