Paraphrasing- Paraphrased lots, to repeat what the clients said as a way to double check I was understood the client correctly.

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE HOW THEY WERE USED EFFECTIVELY.
SOLER- in my interview I used SOLER well. I demonstrated SOLER with my body language. I faced my client with open body language to let her know I was open to listen to everything she had to say. I also used a gentle tone when interviewing to come across as unthreatening and welcoming to the client. I also used head nods, and hand movements as a way to show that I was engaged with what the client has to say.
Open Questions- I was good at coming up with open questions to ask. I never found myself stuck with nothing to ask, or say, after my clients was finished telling part of her story. I asked the right open questions that encouraged the client to tell a bit more of the story, which was effective, because after every open question, it allowed me to learn a bit more about my client, and her story. I also had a used a large range of open questions which was effective because it allowed my to explore many areas of the clients
shall firstly do a summery of the play and give a basic image of what
Burton defines empathy as the ability to not only recognize but also to share another person’s or a fictional character’s or a sentient beings’ emotions. It involves seeing a person’s situation from his or her own perspective and then sharing his or her emotions and distress (1). Chismar posits that to empathize is basically to respond to another person’ perceived state of emotion by experiencing similar feelings. Empathy, therefore, implies sharing another person’s feeling without necessary showing any affection or desire to help. For one to empathize, he or she must at least care for, be interested in or concerned about
The theme in both The Hunger Games and in Ender’s Game is empathy, the ability to be able to understand and connect with others. Katniss has to learn that in order to be the leader she is destined to be, she must be capable of having intimate relationships and gain the ability to trust others. Ender uses empathy to understand his enemy, and uses it to become the commander he is meant to be. However, in his journey to becoming that commander, he has to learn that he is more than just a smarter Peter, that his Valentine side is stronger. Both Katniss and Ender are natural born killers. We see this in Katniss as she is growing up and trying to provide for her family. Her ability to hunt and kill for her family’s food is impeccable. Ender grows
The one skill that I used more of was empathy; I wanted the client to know that I understood her situation as well her feelings. At the end of our conversation, I summarized everything that we talked about, especially her want to open up to her parents and express herself to them. She mentioned that she wants them to fell empathy towards her, because the lack of parental empathy that she felt when she was younger, has even affected her in her adult life (Kilpatrick,2005).
This play shows the importance of the staging, gestures, and props making the atmosphere of a play. Without the development of these things through directions from the author, the whole point of the play will be missed. The dialog in this play only complements the unspoken. Words definitely do not tell the whole story.
Empathy, is a self-conscious characteristic human beings hold that allows them to understand another individual’s situation and feelings (Segal, Cimino, Gerdes &Wagaman, 2013). In regard to ho...
3. Interviewing skills, which are used daily in the field of social work. Questioning clients is a very important part in assessing the client. Learning how to use open-ended as well as close-ended questions at the appropriate times is crucial when assessing the client. Asking questions is a powerful tool in focusing conversational attention and guiding interaction with others. There are many creative possibilities in using interviewing skills.
I tried to have an open posture and to maintain eye contact as these approaches show the client that you are listening and are engaged in the conversation. I implemented silence listening and gave the client the time needed to respond. In the feedback, Jenessa mentioned that I seemed genuinely interested in what she was saying and that she appreciated having the time to elaborate on a question. Looking back at the video, I feel as if my body posture could have been better. Since we were sitting on a couch, it was hard to have that direct contact position. Also, I found that holding the clipboard was hindering my involvement as I kept glancing down at it. Moreover, I was using empathetic statement in the interview, such as "to clarify..." and "that must be difficult for you". Not only did this allow the client to add any more information if they pleased, but it also gave her comfort. In the interview, Jenessa mentioned that she was afraid of relapsing and that her hard work would be for nothing. In response, I validated her concerns by saying that they were
This can be achieved by effective dialogue. The skilled helper must be aware that non-verbal mannerisms such as bodily behaviours, eye movements, facial expressions, tone of voice, space and general appearance can affect the client in good ways and bad ways. He therefore proposes a ‘guide’ in the SOLER theory. SOLER is an acronym that represents Squarely, Open, Lean, Eye, and Relaxed. The skilled helper will face the client ‘Squarely’ if it suits the situation, he will maintain an ‘Open’ posture, He will ‘Lean’ toward the client as appropriate, he will maintain an appropriate ‘Eye’ contact with the client and stay ‘Relaxed’ to increase the quality and comfort of the sessions.
I used rephrasing as a part of understanding the reason for the client’s visit and repeated the information in a way that we both could understand. The client was able to respond through the questions that I asked her in regards to her situation. I want to get a clear understanding without leaving out valuable information. In the three sessions my intentions were to make sure that what she gave me over the phone matches what she says in the interview. I made sure that when my client was speaking, I took notes on the new information or the information that was not covered in any of the previous sessions. Each session was based upon reflection because I had to make sure progress was being made or not. When my client began to discuss things in a way in which I could not understand, I was able to interpret the information in a way that she and I both understood and agreed upon. The moment an initial contact was made, I started giving my client information on informed consent forms, who I was and the number of years of my social work profession, policies and
In order to help client to felt at ease, I attempted to establish a safe atmosphere for client to disclose his issues and also to develop a sense of trust between us by conveying a non-judgmental and non-critical attitude. I use open questions, to invite client to elaborate on information. At the beginning of the session, I manage to use open question to explore more about client issue. Client presenting problem will be financial
There were also several actions throughout my interview that I wish to critique as well. Some verbal mistakes that I made during the interview was uttering “uh-huh” or
During this time, I gave the client enough time to talk about the problem without interrupting. This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which ac...
are you here? You are getting to know the new client. Getting to know the history of the
Thus there is no development in the actions in the play. This rather signifies meaninglessness in the play.
