Background:

Dr. Moses’ theory on grief and loss (as described in the Dr. Deb Gough article) provides the perspective that we, as clinicians, should listen and allow individuals to experience their grief (instead of cheering up, reassuring, “fixing”). This is a new concept to many students in health care fields. 

Your requirements:

Ø Name Dr. Moses’ 4 stages of grief & the 4 ways that he believes people typically respond when someone displays these stages of grief.

Ø After naming the 4 stages and 4 common responses, describe your own personal perspective on this. How can clinicians best respond to those who are grieving (in order to enhance healing)?

Q#2 (5%)

Background:

When considering our clients/patients culture and identity, we identified two reasons in which to do so:

1 – To be aware of assumptions that are made by both us and our clients/patients &

2 – To examine our own personal beliefs about the:

cause of illness – response to illness – what causes healing 

and compare our beliefs about these things with what our patients/clients may believe

Your requirements:

Ø Describe one of the “I am ______ but I am not _________” that someone shared in class that made a particular impact on you and describe why it did so (This should NOT be your own I am ___, but I am not___ – it should be one that was shared by a classmate)

OR

Ø Describe an assumption that you might make about a particular culture or identity of your future clients/patients, and how you might handle that assumption or make a step toward being more “culturally competent”

OR

Ø Describe how your personal beliefs about cause-response-healing might be different than your clients/patients and how you might handle these differences
