Dm-5 Self Reflection
The meeting with my site supervisor went well. We discussed my goals for the semester which are expanding my knowledge in being able to apply different therapeutic approaches and theories during sessions. Another goal would be to expand knowledge of the DSM-5 familiarizing myself with the diagnosis I will be encountering during this practicum. Through shadowing I would like to learn how to conduct a thorough assessment.
My supervisor agreed with me wanting to expand my knowledge in familiarizing myself with the DSM-5. She explained the agency receive a lot of referrals from many sources and all the diagnosis vary so familiarizing myself with the DSM-5 is a good goal. She explained learning other theories to utilize outside of CBT is a good
goal as well. The only change we discussed was not focusing right on assessment. She explained that will come later in the semester and before I start performing assessment I will be shadowing so the experience will come. She explained the two goals are a good start and we will expand on things throughout the practicum.
