M5: Personal Reflection Journal

Instructions
As you continue to grow as a social worker, it is important that you stay in the habit of reflecting on your experiences and professional practice. This reflective journal assignment gives you an opportunity to examine your clinical work through the lens of what you have learned in this module. Write your reflective journal in response to the prompt below.

Reflection Prompt
Discuss a circumstance in which you had to negotiate a difficult interaction with either a friend or family member regarding their negative behavior. It must be something that you and others would interpret as morally or ethically “bad,” not a trivial situation such as a missed appointment. This should constitute a personal moral dilemma with someone in your intimate sphere. Please do not identify the name of the person use initials to protect their privacy. Include your feelings about their actions and how and why you felt you must confront them, and how they interpreted your concern, frustration, or anger with them. Was there any resolution? Which of the articles helped you as you wrote about this?
