## Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn

The focus of week five for SOWK 486 is on communication skills. There are many that Hepworth et al. (2022) term as verbal following skills. Rogers (1957), who developed the concept of person-centered counseling, described what he called the facilitative condition. This includes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. He proposed that when clinicians can maintain these aspects, they can support and help promote positive changes in their clients. The plan for today is to talk about the core skills that help clinicians help their clients. The plan is as follows:

- The facilitative conditions
- Empathy
- Authenticity

## Unit Resources

Join us for [Lotteria and Tacos at 4:30](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Portlets/ICS/Handoutportlet/viewhandler.ashx?handout_id=4b5e8af2-a004-4185-9923-e1910d36c007) before class.

Cultural humility is an important aspect of communication. I value the concept of cultural humility. Chavez (2013) offers a 30-minute documentation, [_Cultural Humility: People, Principles, and Practices_](https://youtu.be/SaSHLbS1V4w), helps understand this concept.

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SaSHLbS1V4w" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

We listen to a short excerpt from Brené Brown's TED talk, [The Power of Vulnerability](https://youtu.be/iCvmsMzlF7o) during class. The whole thing is great, and I would recommend it if you are interested. It also gives a good example of qualitative research. It is about 20 minutes.

In the excerpt we use, Brown discusses Wiseman (2007) and her definition of empathy. Wiseman's paper is related to nursing practice, but the general concepts in her _Toward a Holistic Conceptualization of Empathy for Nursing Practice_ are beneficial, and I've attached it if you are interested in reviewing it.

The slides for this week, are still being created and I will share them later. You can see `[Fall 2024 SOWK 486w Week 05 - Communication Skills]()`.

I hope that you all have had a wonderful weekend and ready to move onto week seven.

## Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn

Week seven is synchronous class week, with an in-person session on Saturday (10/05/27). Having spent time in class looking at the theoretical basis of an integrated approach to clinical practice, the assessment process, biopsychosocial assessments, the DSM-5-TR, and multicultural practice, we will focus more on specific practice implementations within the integrated approach. This week's readings include two chapters of the Cooper and Granucci Lesser (2022) with two relational psychodynamic models, object relations theory and self-psychology.

The learning objectives this week include

- Develop an appreciation of the evolution of relational psychodynamic models
- Understand the concepts of object relations and self-object
- Discuss the concept of trauma bonding
- Apply self-psychology to a brief group intervention
- Develop the context of attachment theory
- Learn a simple model for sharing about the functions of the brain

Agenda

I'll share the agenda for class as we get closer.

## Unit Assignments

**Content**

- Read Cooper and Granucci Lesser (2022) Chapter 4 Object Relations Theory: A Relational Psychodynamic Model
- Read Cooper and Granucci Lesser (2022) Chapter 5 Self-Psychology: A Relational Psychodynamic Model
- Listen to Kelly (2023) Nerd-ing Out on Secure Attachments: Eli Harwood
- Watch Siegel's (2017) YouTube video, Dr. Dan Siegel's Hand Model of the Brain

**Weekly Online Discussion Forums**

This week, there are four discussion forums for you to engage in. I want you to make a total of **three replies** across any of the forums. I want at least two of the replies related to any of the prompts. The other reply can be answering prompts or replying to your peers. The following is a brief overview of the forums for this week:

- The [chapters five and six reflections questions](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/🏫_W-07_930_-_106.jnz?portlet=Group_Discussion_Forums&screen=PostView&screenType=change&id=a8689839-e6b7-4dde-a244-046e1c84843e) forum explores the readings and asks you to make connections to the vignettes and the content presented in these chapters.
- Self-psychology can be useful in developing group interventions, and the textbook provided an example of going through the beginning, middle, and end phases of a group using it. In the forum [planning a group intervention using self-psychology](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/🏫_W-07_930_-_106.jnz?portlet=Group_Discussion_Forums&screen=PostView&screenType=change&id=8d36cf38-8b8d-4d95-b650-0a8af38b0bf4), you can share some ideas for how you could do some pre-planning for such a group.
- [Further engagement with object relation theory](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/🏫_W-07_930_-_106.jnz?portlet=Group_Discussion_Forums&screen=PostView&screenType=change&id=fd7dd9e6-ca13-4f30-959b-2efc0028559e) forum asks you to increase your connection to and understanding of object relation theory by connecting it with the cyclical maladaptive pattern, trauma bonding, or splitting behaviors.
- Finally, the forum [reflection on additional materials for week seven](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/🏫_W-07_930_-_106.jnz?portlet=Group_Discussion_Forums&screen=PostView&screenType=change&id=05e34faf-e632-4bd6-bfab-4cda68c8027b) is a space to share findings and insight gained from the extra materials I shared.

You are expected to read all the posts across all the forums. Your forums are due before Monday (10/07 at 8 AM).

**Reading Quizzes**

Complete [W-07 Reading Quiz for Cooper and Granucci Lesser (2022) Chapters 05 and 06](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/Assignments.jnz?portlet=Coursework&screen=AssignmentDetailView&screenType=change&id=ced669c8-9e10-4245-90a5-bd05ba106ee3) by 8 AM on Saturday 10/05.

## Unit Resources

Attachment theory is briefly discussed in both chapters you read this week. It is a deep and broad subject that can provide significant insight into our clinical practice. The Knowledge Center has an entire podcast looking at different viewpoints related to attachment. Kelly's (2023) episode interviewing Eli Harwood is excellent and provides some good background and thoughts about understanding attachment in action. I especially appreciated her relating attachment styles to animals. You can find the episode in the [Apple Podcast App](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nerd-ing-out-on-secure-attachments-eli-harwood/id1305291387?i=1000638336250), [Overcast](https://overcast.fm/+AASzVYcMkr8)[^1], [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4j7DtkYrDYxmmboAxBxoG8?si=B8GDvFB9RsKKc-EICYx5lA), or the [podcast's website](https://www.attachmenttheoryinaction.com/episodes/episode/c7fbc1dc/nerd-ing-out-on-secure-attachments-eli-harwood
). The episode is about an hour long. I often listen to podcasts when doing other things (washing dishes, going for a walk, driving, etc.); they are a great way to continue learning.

[^1]: The podcast app that I like and use for my listening

Both textbook chapters cite Dan Siegel in their discussion of these theories. While they cite a book he wrote, _The Developing Mind_, I really like Siegal and have [consumed a lot of his material](https://drdansiegel.com). Chapter six asks you to consider self-psychology from a neuroscientific perspective. While Siegel's hand model of the brain does not explicitly talk about this, it is a tool I have often used in my conversations with clients to help them understand what is happening when they are "flipping their lid." I'd like you to watch his video [Dr. Dan Siegel's Hand Model of the Brain](https://youtu.be/f-m2YcdMdFw?si=qUoqBRh9DAvO-ozI). It is only about eight minutes.

I am still working on the slides and agenda for our class session on Saturday, but I will share it before class. You can find all of the videos for this course in `[Lecture Videos](https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Academics/SOWK/SOWK_581/2425_FA-SOWK_581-0/Lecture_Videos.jnz).
