I chose C for this question. Is C the correct answer?
1. Dr. Ben Casey encountered a problem with a new client in therapy. Using the model of reflective practice what is the sequence of steps Dr. Jones should use in order to work with this client effectively?
a. Reflect on what has worked best in his own personal experience and apply that knowledge to the client's problem.
b. Reflect on well-established theories that fit the case; apply the theoretical knowledge to the individual's case; and then test out new ways of thinking about the problem if theoretical knowledge does not suffice.
c. Apply experience-based knowledge first and then use theory-based knowledge as the next step. x (I chose "C" as my answer)
d. First test out any method by subjecting it to rigorous scientific experimentation and then apply it for use with the client.
There are several models for reflective practice. You need to consult your text. My experience tells me that answer "a" is the best answer to the question, but then again, consult the model in your text.
To determine if C is the correct answer for this question, we can look at the description of the model of reflective practice given in the options.
Option A suggests that Dr. Ben Casey should reflect on what has worked best in his own personal experience and apply that knowledge to the client's problem. This does not align with the model of reflective practice as it focuses on using personal experience rather than considering theories and testing new ways of thinking.
Option B suggests that Dr. Ben Casey should reflect on well-established theories that fit the case, apply theoretical knowledge to the individual's case, and test out new ways of thinking if the theoretical knowledge does not suffice. This aligns with the model of reflective practice, as it emphasizes the use of theories and the willingness to explore different approaches if needed.
Option C suggests that Dr. Ben Casey should apply experience-based knowledge first and then use theory-based knowledge as the next step. This order does not align with the model of reflective practice as it suggests applying personal experience before considering theories.
Option D suggests that Dr. Ben Casey should first test out any method through rigorous scientific experimentation and then apply it for use with the client. This does not align with the model of reflective practice as it does not involve reflection, consideration of theories, or exploration of new ways of thinking.
Based on the analysis, it appears that the correct answer is B. Reflect on well-established theories that fit the case; apply the theoretical knowledge to the individual's case; and then test out new ways of thinking about the problem if theoretical knowledge does not suffice.
