You will complete the Professional Development evaluation, which includes a broad range of interpersonal domains often neglected in graduate programs. You will turn in the self-rated form, along with a three-page reflection paper. In other words, you will rate yourself along ten interpersonal dimensions, with “1” being “Concern,” “2” being “Good Performance,” and “3” being “Exceptional Performance.” This form will be uploaded, along with the essay portion of the assignment, which consists of a reflection paper.
In the reflection paper, you will discuss: (a) your reactions to your ratings of yourself, including what did and did not surprise you, (b) areas of strength, including how you can continue to build on these areas and apply them to the mental health field, (c) areas for growth, including specific ways you can improve in these developing areas, and (d) how the interpersonal domains, including strengths and areas for growth, are related to your future as a psychotherapist, especially at a practicum site in the near future.
The paper will be in APA format, with a Title page. No Abstract or References page is necessary. Please remember to include your completed evaluation form as an Appendix at the end of the paper.
