Clinical III. Session 14

Go back to your First Assignment. STEP 1: Take a look at the “purpose” you stated- how you answered the question: WHY are you here? Evaluate your purpose statement using what you now know about purpose. Look at how you stated the purpose. Is the statement clear and concise? Does it reflect the “ends you will pursue”? Reflect on whether your purpose has changed. Is what you stated still applicable?Finally, did you achieve your purpose? Try to be as specific as possible. STEP 2: Read and respond to my comments (to the best of your ability). Use your knowledge of group work skills and principles to inform this. For example, if I asked you to tell me more about types of groups you want to lead, you might say: Reciprocal groups (specific population and need)- because these clients could benefit from support, mutual aid, and I see myself as sharing authority with members. STEP 3: Tell me how you will utilize principles and/or skills in your future practice. Think about “use of self”- how you will use your personality and abilities. Try to be as specific as possible. Add anything else you have learned or you would like me to know. " " NOTE: This is a NEW PAPER. Written format is up to you. Use the literature to support and cite the readings. This can be APA style or references in the body of the paper, or at the end- whatever makes sense to you. So, if you tell me you see how important it is to determine “need”, tell me why. You might refer to Northen’s Planning model, or Kurland’s Purpose article. Then be specific: whose needs? client, agency, your idea of client need. And how specifically will you determine need? The purpose of the assignment is to determine and evaluate what you’ve gained this semester in order to improve your ability and confidence in leading groups. 

Minimum 5 pages- more if you want/need. Answer all 3 steps completely. References- minimum 4. Email as attachment-(Word doc) DUE: Last day of class: Tuesday May 19 or Wednesday May 20
