SOWK 550 TRIAD REFLECTION FORM TEMPLATE

This document is a Triad: Reflection Form Template for a Social Work course, SOWK 550. It is designed to be completed after a group (triad) practice interview, requiring reflection and feedback on each session. The form is structured to assess the experiences of the various roles: Social Worker, the self as the Social Worker/Learner, and the self as the Client. Key Content Areas: Session Details: Records the date and length of the session, along with the names of all group members and their roles (Client, Social Worker, Observer). Assessing Other Social Workers' Experience (Social Worker #1 & #2): Provides feedback on peers' skills, specifically noting the demonstration of skills in ending the sessions with emotional honesty, preparing the client for termination, and validating feelings. It also notes areas for improvement, such as using a more structured evaluation or keeping open the possibility of future work. Assessing My Experience: Reflects on the author's performance, including their ability to end sessions appropriately, acknowledging the difficulty of termination for both client and social worker. It highlights improved skills like reflective listening, the application of techniques like assuring confidentiality, and easing the client into termination by explaining the reasons and assuring continued care. Areas for improvement, like more attentive listening and emotional attunement, are also identified. Reflection on Being the Client: Provides an alternative perspective on the experience, highlighting the comfort and understanding gained, and noting the importance of validating feelings. Integration of Text and Presentation: Connects the practice to theory, specifically mentioning the psychodynamic theory of social work in understanding termination as a loss. It also integrates key social work values (honesty, respect for dignity, integrity) and notes the prevalence of multicultural issues. Citations: The form requires two sources with a reference list.
