Journal Week 11 Instructions
This journal will focus on your experience with the overall course material (readings, videos, and discussions) answering the Question 1 and Question 2. For Question 3: List one takeaway from each text – Perry and Szalavitz, Rothschild, and van der Kolk – that you will use as a current or future practitioner.
Make sure that the file you are submitting is a Word document-type file – .doc or .docx. Your assignment is due on Sunday, by 11:59 pm EST.
The journal should be about 2 and no more than 3 double-spaced pages (not including the title and reference page).
Address the following questions (use the questions as headings):
How did the material (readings, videos, and PowerPoint) illuminate and/or change your view of yourself? (½ to ¾ of a page)
How did the material (readings, videos, and PowerPoint) illuminate and/or change your view of others? (½ to ¾ of a page)
Using concrete examples of modalities and cases, how could what you learned about trauma be addressed in your practice (present or future)? Be sure to include your rationale. (1 to 1 1/2 pages). Please note: This question is worth twice as many points as the first two questions, and this should be reflected in the depth of the descriiption presented.
Please be sure to use citations and include a reference page if directly referring to course materials. Direct quotes are discouraged. Please paraphrase material with citations rather than use direct quotes.
Use this link to the Paraphrasing Properly video for more directions on how to paraphrase material rather than use direct quotes:
