Task Description
To complete this assessment task, you will draw on a therapeutic encounter from your professional experience placement (PEP), which you will recreate through role play with a peer. You may choose to video this recreation to enhance your reflection on the encounter using a structured framework to identify strengths of the therapeutic approach you used. This is based on the 6-category intervention analysis by John Heron.

Information about Heron's six category intervention analysis can be found in Module 2, page 2.2. It will be examined in Intensive 1 when you will have an opportunity to practice this.

Elements required for this assessment will be explored during your Intensive 1 on campus or online workshop.

Criterion 1 Identify an interaction from PEP that illustrates an exchange with therapeutic intent.

Criterion 2 Document a therapeutic interaction that includes verbal, paralinguistic and nonverbal elements.

Criterion 3 Analyse the therapeutic exchange and identify the type and intent of your exchange according to the set framework.

Criterion 4 Critique the exchange, developing alternate interactions with focused therapeutic intent.

Criterion 5 Communicate in a professional manner and adhere to academic presentation requirements.
