Pick a time this week when you will be talking with someone. Without this person knowing, practice as many of the following attending behaviors as you can. *sitting forward in an open, relaxed way *maintain appropriate eye contact *have appropriate facial expressions *minimize distracting behaviors (such as tapping your foot) *offer words of encouragement
*how did you handle moments of silence?
After the conversation, write down how you felt and what you were thinking as you practiced these behaviors. Which behaviors came more naturally? Which behaviors were harder to do and why? Which behaviors did you forget to use? What are your hunches on how this person felt as they tried to convey a message to you?
Note: You will lose significant points each week if the reflection assignments are not substantive. References are required for all written assignments. The general rule for references is 1.5 references per page submitted. The reference requirement means a 2-page paper requires a minimum of 3 references.
This assignment serves as a targeted approach to fulfill CSWE Competency 6, emphasizing the practical application of skills and knowledge acquired throughout the course.

Expressing Understanding
- Connecting with clients through attuning to their thoughts and feelings.
- The meaning that they give to their experiences is individual and important.
- Empathy is seeing, feeling, understanding and grasping the assumptions a person has about his/her experiences.
- Being understood is essential to establishing a relationship.
- Communicating an understanding of another person’s experience, behavior, viewpoint, meanings and feelings specifically is essential.
- Accepting and validating the client’s point of view is part of empathic understanding.
- Practitioners need to respond with a clear indication that they have heard and understood what the client has said.
- Restating what the client has said using either exact or near words to assure the client that you have heard what s/he said:
- “What I hear you saying…”
- “It sounds like…”
- “As I understand it…”
- Attunement to the emotional experiences of the client requires the use of empathy.
- Communicating this understanding can be done through reflecting feelings.
- Separate what you are feeling about what the client is saying from what s/he is feeling.
- Feelings may be discerned through body language, tone of voice, and/or facial expressions.
- Reflecting feelings allows the client to be understood at a core level.
- Even if the practitioner has not had similar feelings, s/he needs to reflect what the client is feeling.
- Congruent facial expressions and voice tone are important in reflecting.
- Clients may need to be taught to name their feelings.
- Be alert to clients’ thinking they are expressing feelings when they are expressing thoughts.
- Express hunches about feelings tentatively and receive corrections willingly.
- Important part of groups and family interactions is to notice and reflect feelings of various members.
- Model empathy for each member.
- You can demonstrate empathy and a willingness to be corrected to group members.
- Both can be reflected in the same sentence and can demonstrate a deeper understanding of the client.
- Sometimes a practitioner will express what has not been explicitly stated by the client.
- Moving beyond what the client has stated helps in gaining new understanding and insight.
- Involves listening to considerable information provided by the client and communicating understanding of that information.
- It is okay to interrupt occasionally to summarize if client provides extensive information.
- The end of a meeting with any size group can be augmented by summarizing the content of the meeting.
- Not as straightforward as understanding content or feelings.
- Have to listen for the meaning the client gives to a situation, action, thought or feeling.
- When client background is different it is particularly important to express meanings tentatively.
- The meaning attached depends on culture, education, age, family, experience, etc.
- Understanding the client’s worldview is essential and can be more important than differences in diversity.
- Language differences present particular challenges.
- When client is from a different ethnic, age, gender, religious, or other group, empathy is particularly important.
- The goal is to understand how the client feels by reflecting content, feelings, and meaning.
- Stating “I totally understand” is rarely accurate or useful.
- Empathic understanding increases the client’s sense of being understood.
- It takes considerable courage to openly discuss concerns with a stranger.
- Level 1: Once during the meeting the practitioner communicated an understanding of the client’s experience and feelings with enough clarity that the client indicated agreement.
- Level 3: Three times during the meeting the practitioner communicated an understanding of the client’s experience with enough clarity that the client indicated agreement.
- Level 5: Five times during the meeting the practitioner communicated an understanding of the client’s experience with enough clarity that the client indicated agreement.
- Are US ethical standards applicable worldwide? Explain your answer and provide examples. What are the consequences of failure to incorporate ethical considerations into global planning?
