Creative Application: (a) Select a popular “romantic” story from a film, TV programme, novel or play and summarise the story line. Next, describe the model of intimacy depicted and indicate how it relates to the course discussion of intimacy. Critique this model based on both your professional and personal experience and the insight gained from the course. (b) Why do you suppose that human beings might struggle with something so basic and seemingly necessary for a good life? What best describes your views on intimacy? (c) Describe an imagined client disclosure that might represent a difficult and challenging situation where your own personal values might feel dismissed or your sense of social tolerance might feel violated. What lessons from the course might be useful to call upon? Please be reasonably specific as to what the “issue” would be. And why it would be difficult for you? How would you “feel”? What “thoughts” might enter your head? How might this get in the way of developing a therapeutic relationship? How might you seek to shift the challenge into an opportunity for understanding and mutual respect?

The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We recommend you work with your Academic Writing Guide to ensure that you reference correctly. You will find a link to this document on the main page of every unit, under the 'Assessments' section. Correct academic writing and referencing are essential tasks that you need to learn. We recommend a minimum of six references. Referencing: References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not the Study Guide and lecture notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original. Researching: You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online journal databases and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Reputable news sites such as The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/au/health), online dictionaries and online encyclopedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic. Government departments, research institutes such as the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and local not for profit organisations such as the Cancer Council are also good resources. Formatting: The assessment MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in Word. http://theconversation.com/au/health BASS – COU310A Assessment Brief 2 4 What we don’t want to see: Plagiarism: All sources of information need to properly be acknowledged.
