Final Analysis and Future Plans
This has three parts. I did the First part and Tran scripted the counseling session. I need assistance with omplete a comprehensive transcript using the same template you used with the Rogers transcript. In the transcript, analyze the following:
- Which specific skill or skills were used each time you (the counselor) spoke?
- Rate your skills on a scale of 1–5 (1 = ineffective, 5 = highly effective) by evaluating the effectiveness of your interventions.
- For each of your interjections (as a counselor), provide a specific alternative for your own response (assuming you could re-do the session). Consider the client’s developmental stage, diversity characteristics, and empirically supported interventions in your revised responses.
- Classify the skills(s) that were implemented in the last column.
- Part 3: Reflection Paper
In regard to the practice session, write a reflection paper in 3–5 pages (not including the title page and reference pages). Address the following in the paper:
- Articulate how you conceptualize the client and her or his problems and potential solutions.
- Critique the effectiveness of your mental status exam and risk assessment noting appropriate refinements.
- Determine what cultural and ethical issues were observed in the session and how you adjusted to accommodate them.
- Identify any personal connecting thoughts, experiences, or other potential counter-transference issues you may have had at the time.
- Articulate your plan for the next session with this client, were you to have one.
- Explain how goals were established and how they were achieved.
- Discuss how termination of the session was addressed.
- Discuss the use of client feedback. As part of that you will ask your client to rate the session using the Bordin (1979) conceptualization mentioned above (see above). Please discuss your experience of client feedback.
- Tasks (the way the counselor went about working with me) rated on a scale of 0 (did not fit well for me) to 10 (fit like it was customized for me)
- Goals (what we discussed) rated on a scale of 0 (did not talk about what I wanted to talk about) to 10 (talked about what I wanted to talk about)
- Emotional bonds (therapeutic relationship) rated on a scale of 0 (did not feel understood or listened to) to 10 (felt fully heard and understood)
Your final product will be in a word document and be approximately 3-5 pages in length (and the Final Transcript template) and utilize 2-3 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
