Assessment Details

You will write a 2500 word reflective essay using a psychosocial model to explore communication.

There are three areas to be included in the essay:

  1. Application of a psychosocial model or theory to understand communication between yourself and a Service User
  2. Reflection on your learning based on your observation of your own and others behaviour and communication in the groupwork
  3. Identification of two examples of behaviour or communication that you could take into your work with Service Users

During the module you will work in groups where you will generate material for the assessment and receive feedback on this.

You will be part of a group where you will bring in examples of your interactions with Service Users. You will discuss these in relation to the psychosocial theory and models presented in the module

You will also observe a group and their communication and learn about your reactions to the communication.
