\nThe Process Recording
\nInstructions<\/p>\n
Case: For this process record, This is a follow-up meeting with Ms.R to see how she\u2019s doing and if she\u2019s OK from the previous section that we have. In this section, we talk about how she is doing with her friends and if they\u2019re still talking to her or if they\u2019re still fighting with her. However, she told me her friends were still not talking to her. Still, when one of her friends, Ms. F, is not here, the other two, Ms. B and Ms. H, speak to her, but if Ms. F is there, don\u2019t talk to her, and she feels that the other two are mad fake and she doesn\u2019t feel comfortable talking to her so I told her if they\u2019re not trying to talk to her then she shouldn\u2019t talk to them. And we talk about if your friend is not talking to somebody doesn\u2019t mean you have to stop talking to the person, and I use myself as an example. I told her how two of my friends were fighting, but I was more close to one of my friends than the other friend. And because of that, I stopped talking to my other friend because my best friend was not talking to her, and I found that the next day there were talking to each other. I became the odd one out, so I had to sit down and think about why I was not talking to my other just because she was fighting wither my best friend. This situation told me that if two of my friends were fighting, I should not put myself in between them. I should let them fight on solver issues and not follow each other because If I do, I will be the odd one if they decide to talk to each other.<\/p>\n
Goal: The goal was to make sure that Ms. R was talking to her friend and trying to resolve the issue between them. Still, Ms. R doesn’t want to do that, so the new goal now is to make sure that Ms. R is good and not feeling uncomfortable but instead trying to make sure that she passes all her classes because she is not passed two of them and try to make new friends who are going to talk to her and not make her feel the odd one out.<\/p>\n
Assume The moment Mr. R came into the office. her friends were still not talking to her. Still, when one of her friends, Ms. F, is not here, the other two, Ms. B and Ms. H, speak to her, but if Ms. F is there, don\u2019t talk to her, and she feels that the other two are mad fake and she doesn\u2019t feel comfortable talking to her so I told her if they\u2019re not trying to talk to her then she shouldn\u2019t talk to them. And we talk about if your friend is not talking to somebody doesn\u2019t mean you have to stop talking to the person, and I use myself as an example. I told her how two of my friends were fighting, but I was more close to one of my friends than the other friend. And because of that, I stopped talking to my other friend because my best friend was not talking to her, and I found that the next day there were talking to each other. I became the odd one out, so I had to sit down and think about why I was not talking to my other just because she was fighting wither my best friend. This situation told me that if two of my friends were fighting, I should not put myself in between them. I should let them fight on solver issues and not follow each other because If I do, I will be the odd one if they decide to talk to each other.<\/p>\n
8 Process Recording question and Interview Content Student\u2019s Thoughts and Analysis<\/p>\n
Social Work Practice Skills\/Interventions<\/p>\n
1. FACT FINDING QUESTIONS (FFQ): Questions to obtain or confirm information about specific facts. (e.g. Who do you live with? What is your telephone number? What is your address? etc.)<\/p>\n
2. ADVICE: is giving suggestions to a client about what might be best for them to do. ONE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS INTERVENTION, as it is best for clients to come up with their own solutions to issues. Additionally, we must be very careful to refrain from providing any advice or making suggestions prematurely (e.g. before we have a full understanding of the situation or for issues where we may lack a sufficient level of expertise).<\/p>\n
3. (To keep talking) FURTHERING RESPONSES: encourages clients to continue verbalizing their concerns through the use of minimal verbal and non-verbal prompts. (e.g. brief phrases\/utterances such as \u201c uh-huh\u201d, \u201ccontinue\u201d, \u201cI understand\u201d, \u201ctell me more\u201d etc. with appropriate non-verbal behaviors such as looking interested, focused and attentive, and maintaining eye contact.<\/p>\n
4. (understanding of clients\u2019 thoughts, feelings )REFLECTION: is the worker communicating your understanding of clients\u2019 thoughts, feelings, and meanings by repeating back to the client what he\/she just said in almost a verbatim manner (see example #1 below). It also can include observations about the client\u2019s physical behaviors or reactions (see example #2 below).<\/p>\n
Example #1:<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cI\u2019m at the end of my rope with my teenage son, Jonathan. I don\u2019t know what to do with him anymore. Yesterday, he was suspended from school again for punching another student. (Client\u2019s eyes begin to tear.) I just don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: \u201cSo I hear you saying that you are at the end of your rope with your son. He was suspended from school again for punching another student and you don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Example # 2:<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cI\u2019m at the end of my rope with my teenage son, Jonathan. I don\u2019t know what to do with him anymore. Yesterday, he was suspended from school again for punching another student. (Client\u2019s eyes begin to tear.) I just don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: \u201cAs you tell me this you look so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n
5. PARAPHRASING: is the worker communicating that the s\/w has grasped the content of the client\u2019s message by using different and new words to restate the client\u2019s message concisely.<\/p>\n
Client (a mother speaking about her daughter): \u201cWhen it comes right down to it, I think I\u2019m to blame for a lot of her problems\u201d.<\/p>\n
S\/W: \u201cSo you see yourself as having contributed to many of your daughter\u2019s struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n
6. SUMMARIZING is the practice intervention in which the worker repeats back to the client the many things that the client has been saying, but in an organized, succinct way. This is often done at the end of a session but can also be done periodically during a session.<\/p>\n
S\/W (to a young wife with two young children): \u201cWhat I have heard today is that you are tired of your husband treating you with disrespect and that if he doesn\u2019t stop making abusive comments toward you, you are considering leaving him although you are worried about how this would affect the kids and whether you could manage financially on your own. You mentioned moving in with your sister but she too is struggling in ways that are similar to yours and this may not improve your situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
7. EMPATHIC RESPONDING: S\/W demonstrates awareness\/understanding about the emotions the client has experienced or is currently experiencing.<\/p>\n
Client (16 year old probationer): \u201cI don\u2019t see the sense in having to come here every f*****g week. I haven\u2019t been in any trouble since I went to court a month ago and jumping that turnstile was nothing compared to the other stuff I\u2019ve done in the past. Now I gotta meet with you but you can\u2019t do nothing until the next time we go to court. This is a joke and a waste of time.\u201d S\/W: \u201cI get how upset you are with having to come here especially when you feel this whole thing is unfair, a waste of your time and that I don\u2019t have the authority to change the court order until we go to court\u201d.<\/p>\n
8. NORMALIZING is a practice intervention in which the worker indicates to the client that his\/her reaction is understandable, and similar to what others would feel, think, and\/or do in that situation.<\/p>\n
Client: I don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong with me. It\u2019s been 9 months since my wife died and I just can\u2019t pull things together. I\u2019m still a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: After being married for 32 years, and having your wife suddenly die, it is completely understandable that you are having a difficult time\u201d.<\/p>\n
9. REASSURANCE: expressing a realistic sense of hope that the client will be able to resolve or deal with the current situation or words of advice and comfort intended to alleviate one\u2019s worry. (needs to be based in reality and timed appropriately).<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cMy life is hopeless and I don\u2019t know what I am doing here. This is my third time in substance abuse treatment and I never seem to be able to stay clean. I\u2019ll never get clean!\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: I know that you are feeling some hopelessness, but in my experience many, many people who have relapsed more times than you have learned to get clean and sober.\u201d<\/p>\n
Example of what NOT to do:<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cMy life is hopeless and I don\u2019t know what I am doing here. This is my third time in substance abuse treatment and I never seem to be able to stay clean. I\u2019ll never get clean!\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: You\u2019ve relapsed twice and you are feeling some hopelessness, but I know this time you can do it and get clean.\u201d<\/p>\n
10. EXPLORATION OF FEELINGS involves eliciting from clients what they are feeling about a situation in their lives or what they are feeling in the session with the worker. This can be done either by directly asking clients about what they feel or by making statements that possibly reflect what the client is feeling.<\/p>\n
(Eliciting feelings example)<\/p>\n
Client: My husband started cursing at me when he came home from work because the apartment was a mess. He doesn\u2019t understand what I have to deal with all day!<\/p>\n
S\/W: How was it for you when he cursed at you? Or, How did you feel when he cursed at you?<\/p>\n
(Making a statement about what the client is feeling)<\/p>\n
Client: My husband started cursing at me when he came home from work because the apartment was a mess. He doesn\u2019t understand what I have to deal with all day!<\/p>\n
S\/W: I imagine that you must have felt so angry at your husband when he started cursing at you.<\/p>\n
Note: It is certainly possible that the worker\u2019s reflection of the client\u2019s feelings may be inaccurate. Generally clients will let the worker know that the comment was inaccurate, in which case the worker will thank the client for this feedback and try to clarify what the client was feeling.<\/p>\n
11. EXPLORATION OF THOUGHTS is asking clients about what they think about a situation. This involves all aspects of cognition including thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions.<\/p>\n
Client: I\u2019m kind of upset today. At the party I went to last night, I was joking with this guy who I like, and he suddenly looked really offended. He said to me, \u201cYou know, Bill, you just don\u2019t know when to stop! When you make jokes, you go over the line and get really offensive. Someday someone is going to punch you in the face.\u201d And then he walked away.<\/p>\n
S\/W: What do you think about what he said?<\/p>\n
12. DESCRIPTION is asking the client what happened in a situation.<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cMy 14 year old son began cursing at me and wouldn\u2019t stop. He then started throwing dishes and other stuff around without any regard for anything or anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: \u201cAnd then what happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
13. CLARIFICATION is asking the client to be more detailed in what they are telling you (deeper than Description).<\/p>\n
Client: \u201cI was cooking dinner and my husband walked into the kitchen and got all in my face. It really got me angry.<\/p>\n
S\/W: \u201cWhat do you mean by your husband getting all in your face? \u201c<\/p>\n
14. REFRAMING is the practice intervention in which the worker re-words what the client says as a way to have the client look at the situation in a different way (e.g. an overprotective parent becomes a concerned parent).<\/p>\n
Client (a 15 year old adolescent male): My mom does not trust me and I can\u2019t stand her overprotectiveness. She\u2019s always telling me how I have to attend school and do my homework and does not let me do anything. She doesn\u2019t give my any freedom and treats me like a little kid. She makes me so mad and I just can\u2019t take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
S\/W: Sounds like you don\u2019t agree with the way that your mom is trying to show her concern for you.<\/p>\n
(Notice how the worker re-named (reframed) the client\u2019s complaints of overprotectiveness, lack of trust and freedom as \u201cconcern\u201d to try to facilitate a more productive dialogue).<\/p>\n
15. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT is when the worker praises the client for something the client did with the intent of increasing the chance of that behavior in the future. (Can be an affirmation)<\/p>\n
Client: I can\u2019t tell you how happy I am as after weeks of avoiding talking to my brother about what he did to our cousin I called him and we have begun talking about it.<\/p>\n
S\/W: That\u2019s wonderful. Good for you!<\/p>\n
16. PROVIDING FEEDBACK is when the worker conveys to the client what he thinks or feels about the client\u2019s issues or behaviors. (Can be considered a form of self-disclosure).<\/p>\n
Client: Since we had that discussion last month, I have been trying very hard to improve the way I dress. Have you noticed any differences?<\/p>\n
S\/W: Yes, now that you mention it I certainly have noticed that you seem to be paying closer attention to your appearance.<\/p>\n
17. AFFIRMATION is when the worker comments on something that is good about the person. It involves noticing, recognizing, and acknowledging the positive and can be about intentions as well as actions.<\/p>\n
18. SELF-DISCLOSURE involves the worker sharing his\/her own feelings and or\/experiences. This intervention must be used judiciously and with appropriate timing (when rapport and trust has been established). The primary reason for using this intervention is to provide a sense of a shared experience that will benefit the client and the client-worker relationship in some way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
