Typescript and Self-Analysis
Midterm Typescript and Self-Analysis
Your typescript will consist of your video/audio tape-recorded interviewing session. Start your transcript with the response made by the client after your initial opening (“What would you like to talk about today?”). (CACREP II-J- 3-b; II-J-8-b) (DPI 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.10).
Guidelines for Typescript
1. Transcribe verbatim your counseling session. (20 minute session and there should be 12 or more Counselor responses of the videotaped session. Students will receive a letter grade reduction for each less than 12). Minimal encourages (e.g., hm…mmhmm…yes…ok) are not considered a verbal response. They are to be included or embedded within the larger responses.
2. After each of your responses provide a self-critique on the response. Also, provide a better response if you think you could improve upon your original response. This is an opportunity for you to process what you were experiencing (thoughts, feelings, and actions) during the session. The following questions may guide your reflection about your responses (CACREP II-J-1-e; II-J-3-b; II-J-3-d) (DPI 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11):
a. What would have been an appropriate goal for your response at that time?
b. What was the effect of the response - in other words, what did your response lead your
client to do?
c. Did you think you could have provided a better response? If yes, what would it be? If
a corrected response is needed, what is your reason for making that change? Provide
the response.
d. What were you thinking or feeling about yourself as a counselor or your work as a
counselor when the client said that?
3. Based on your responses, complete the Counseling Skills Analysis Chart.
4. Complete the Overall Session Self-Critique.
5. Submit your typescript and self-analysis electronically via email. Email attachments must have your name, title of work, and date in the name of the file (e.g. Jcooper midterm eval-8/27/07.doc; Jcooper journal 1-8/27/07.doc; etc). Submit all in ONLY one doc file.
6. The recording of the session must be submitted to me in a sealed envelop with your name written on the outside of the envelope.
7. Please do a quick “test” prior to recording your session to make sure your tape will be audible. Sessions that are not clearly audible will be returned (ungraded).
