Having been aware of the fact that VB was not happy with the terminology, enabled me to address her properly and practice what Roger's called “positive regard” (Payne, 2005). I did this by valuing VB for who she felt she was and being compassionate as she related her story to me. Ultimately, best practice in the service delivery is to ensure that we respect the Human Rights Convention ( ) since the UK has been signed up to it for 50 years. The tendency is that Health and social care practice has the potential to affect some of the rights and freedoms in the ECHR ( ). Human rights point out that it is VB's right to identify with who she feels she is. While I agree that diagnosis helps to systematically categorise people, I argue that such issues must be viewed from a wider spectrum, ranging from personal, cultural to societies system as a whole. Whereas, society at large plays a role in modifying us, culture shapes our choices and our own personality/individuality influences what we may become. A combination of these factors can not be dealt with separately if an effective solution is to be sought.
Having done a unit on critical reflection, my ability to essentially appraise my values and assumptions within various ethical and social contexts has significantly improved. This has been so because I have taken the initiation to proactively engage in my own learning by seeking to explore and understand my learning styles and effectively using support systems such as learning sets to tease my reflective practice. As reflected in assignment 1, I had envisaged that 45 logs was enough reflection, however little did I realise that reflection without good self assessment and deeper reflection warrants an incomplete spiral process of reflection.
Comparatively, I have never really doubted my learning style, but I must admit that the opportunity I had in learning about different writing and learning styles enabled me to see the
