What is a Process Recording? • A tool used by social workers • to help guide in the acquisition of self reflection skills, and • to focus one’s thoughts, beliefs and actions/reactions in relation to practice situations.
A Process Recording… • Documents the client-social worker exchange, and allows for identification of what one did well and where improvement may be needed. • Gives attention to both the content and the unfolding of the interaction with the client system on multiple communication levels.
Purpose of Process Recordings Self-reflection
To structure thinking about professional practice To conceptualize what happens in the transactions between social worker and client systems To heighten awareness of oneself in action within the transaction To distinguish facts from judgments and/or impressions
Process Recording Format(see pages* 174-75 for sample) • Cover Page (page 176) • Interaction (Body) (page 177) • Summary (page 178) *from TU Field Education Manual
COVER PAGE CONTENT Student Date: Of the interaction Setting: office, client home, school, etc. Why This Interaction was Selected: why you feel this particular exchange was valuable to process Client Background: who is present and involved in the interaction-gender, age, ethnicity, connection Purpose: why is this interaction being held now Tuning In: what are the overt and covert agendas of all parties involved
Notes on Interaction (Body) Section • Generally, student should plan to include a portion of a full interview (a rule of thumb is 15 minutes) • Student should complete this as soon after the actual interview as possible, to assure accurate recall. • Be as exact in wording as you can, however, you CANNOT tape record. • Template includes 1 Interaction page, but please replicate as many as needed to record the entirety of the interaction. • Use page numbers for each.
SPECIAL NOTES: • When doing a process recording, care must be taken to disguise identifying information (in accordance with HIPAA regulations) to protect client confidentiality and privacy. Some agencies have additional rules related to confidentiality, so please review these with the agency/program and then with your field instructor. • Proofread your recording.
