ASSESSMENT TASK 1: DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this assessment is to write a reflective paper about your own communication in the workplace.
In any form of communication, it is important to be aware of how we influence the process and identify our strengths and weakness in our communication skills. Developing self-awareness relies on being able to reflect deeply and recognise the role of 'self' in contributing to the outcomes of communication interactions.
To complete this task, you will need to firstly observe your professional communication over the course of a week. Following this, select two examples of communication to analyse and discuss: one example should showcase your communication strength(s) and one example should showcase your communication weakness(es).
The suggested format for this reflective essay is as follows:
• Brief introduction to paper
• Brief description of communication example demonstrating your weakness(es)
• Using a clear reflective cycle (citing which reflective cycle you are using), critically reflect on your weakness(es) in your communication and analyse the contribution of the 'self' to these weaknesses in the example, using theory to support your analysis
• Brief description of communication example showcasing your strength(s)
• Using a clear reflective cycle (citing which reflective cycle you are using), critically reflect on strengths in your communication and analyse the contribution of the 'self' to these strengths in the example, using theory to support your analysis
• Present an insightful discussion of your analysis that explains what you have learned about your persuasive professional communication abilities from this exercise
• Brief conclusion to paper.
As this is a reflective task, you may use first person. You are expected to use literature to support the discussion throughout the paper. Please ensure that you maintain confidentiality and privacy, so be sure to use pseudonyms for any descriptions of people or organisations. As this is an academic essay, no headings or dot points may be used. Correct APA (6th ed.) should be used throughout. For guidance on standards for assessment preparation, including referencing, please see Assessment Preparation Guidelines

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
