ACTIVITY: Check in on your own attitudes towards family members
Many clinicians report that past interactions with difficult family members
have influenced their attitude towards all family members. In order to make
a conscious choice about how to work with family members, it is helpful to be
aware of your own attitudes and (potential) biases.
This is a self-reflection activity designed to help you clarify your own attitudes.
Please try to complete these activities as honestly as you can.
