Question
Review the attached document titled "The Dance" (reprinted from Causton's essay), summary of the article addressing the following questions:
1. Does the metaphor of the dance make sense in relation to professional practice when caring for dying individuals?
2. What does the author mean by "hooks" in this context? Can you think of any "hooks" that might affect you in an end-of-life context?
3. Have you seen, or could you envision, care-giver behaviours such as those described, which reflect lack of perspective? How would a care-giver behave who is kind, compassionate and caring yet maintains professional boundaries; one who is able to "feel deeply and to act wisely"?
4. How might the ideas in this reading apply to other care-giving contexts (e.g. with clients/residents who are vulnerable but not necessarily dying)?
5. What do you see as your strengths as a caregiver as they relate to end of life care?
6. What are some areas of personal/professional development that would assist you to become more effective or confident in providing end of life care?
