In this journal, you will describe two separate communication scenarios: one positive and one negative. It is recommended these scenarios come from your experience so you can review them through a critical lens. However, this is not required. If you use scenarios from your own experience, avoid using real names of people or places. You also have the option to create original, fictitious scenarios to meet the requirements of this journal.
Using the Module Two Journal Template in the What to Submit section, you will describe the scenarios and examine each one for a type of communication that was noted, a skill that was used, and a method of communication that was used. In the module Resources section, you will find information about the types of communications (e.g., verbal, nonverbal, visual, written), communication skills (e.g., active listening, therapeutic communication, contextual communication), and communication methods (e.g., talking, writing, email, video, PowerPoint presentations, technology sources). You will identify a type, skill, and method that align with the positive communication scenario. You will then do the same for the negative communication scenario. Finally, you must provide a two- or three-sentence review of each scenario, explaining the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of each scenario. References should be used in your reviews and should be cited in proper APA format. Use at least two scholarly, current (within the last five years) references to support your work.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Communication Scenarios: Describe two communication scenarios: one positive and one negative.
Type: Identify a type of communication for each scenario.
Skill: Describe a communication skill that was used for each scenario.
Method: Identify a method of communication that was used for each scenario.

Signature Assignment
Video Response: Counseling Role-Play
Development of healthcare professional skills requires very active participation and practice. To enhance your care ability, your assignment is to role-play the care skills, strategies and approaches utilized in Gestalt theory.
As in your last two assignments, you need to find a friend, colleague, spouse, or other volunteer (it can be the same person who previously served as your mock client or someone new) to serve as your mock client for the role-play activity. Key to the effectiveness of this activity is your active, engaged participation in the role-play. Before you begin the role-play, be sure you have discussed with your volunteer, mock client the purpose of this mock counseling session. Highlight that the mock client should NOT discuss real, personal challenges, but should represent the persona of someone who is seeking treatment for a substance abuse issue.
The role-play activity requires you (and your mock client) to be spontaneous and candid, yet empathic to each other (do not create or utilize a script; this should be a natural, spontaneous interaction). As you role-play the healthcare professional, you should follow the goals and techniques discussed in the text.
You are required to video-tape your role-play session. Videos should be approximately 10 minutes. At the beginning of each video (prior to starting the role-play activity), you should clearly state (to the camera):
goal of the session,
techniques you hope/plan to use, and
context of the role-play (i.e., first session, ongoing client, relapse session, client issues, etc.).
After completing the video upload, write a short essay covering the technique used, what you intended to accomplish with the “client”, and the positive care aspects of the approach used this week.
Start by reading and following these instructions:
Study the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your sources carefully.
Consider the discussion and the any insights you gained from it.
Review the assignment rubric and the specifications below to ensure that your response aligns with all assignment expectations.
