It is purely based on the role play where you i was the therapist.
The example provided in the attached document is only to provide you with an idea of how to write about what happened in YOUR group role play when you were the therapist.
Directions for Second Transcript Analysis
In addition to transcribing your session, you are required to analyze your responses and
determine:
A) “What basic counseling skill (if any) was I using, and why?”
B) “Was I successful? How do I know?” You will answer these questions with all of your
responses, even the nonverbals.
Example:
Client: I really thought this time my mother wouldn’t be drinking, you know. After the last time
the family got together she promised that she wouldn’t and when I’d spoken to her lately she
seemed sober. So, I was so surprised when we went over on Thanksgiving and she seemed half-
in-the-bag already—it was only noon! I looked at my wife in shock and gave my mother a quick
hug. My dad wouldn’t even look me in the eye; he just busied himself with getting folding chairs
from the basement. About an hour later, I went in the kitchen for more potato chips and saw her
drinking a dark drink with ice in it. I know my mom’s patterns; it must have been full of vodka
and a little Pepsi. I started crying right there, I couldn’t even say anything. I just went to the
closet, got my wife’s and my coat told my sister who was staring at me “I can’t take this shit I
gotta go!” My wife looked embarrassed, but mostly sad for me when we were going out the
door. I don’t know if I did the right thing, I just knew it hurt too much to stay there.
Therapist: It sounds like you were sad, and a little doubtful.
[I chose to go with a response of basic empathy because I wanted to have a short, yet caring
response to his painful story in order to get him to go on. Even though his next responses
indicated I got his emotions wrong, I still think it was successful in that he became surer of his
emotions]
Client: Well, I am sad, but I’m not doubtful. In fact, now that I think about it, I’m feeling even
more certain I did the right thing. She needs to know I won’t be around when she drinks and I
know that there are some things I just can’t, and don’t have to, be around.
