Reflection on personal experience in mental health assessment ward
Description
While working on a mental health assessment ward, I was asked to review the case of Ms. X, a patient sectioned under the Mental Health Act (Section 2) because of her worsening dementia. Until she was sectioned Ms. X had been cared for at home by her adult children and through weekly visits from a nurse, but because of her increasing difficulties in engaging in effective self-care, her children felt it necessary to seek professional redress.

Learning organization This theory tries to emphasize the concepts of building team learning and shared vision. This creates a wave of experimentation and advancement thus allowing people in the organization to expand their horizons to create the results that are desired by the team (Senge, 1994) Our close interaction was meant to facilitate team learning. Synergism This concept provides that the sum of the parts working together as a team is greater than the
Structured Critical Reflection In preparation for this reflection paper, I read the texts, reflected on my life experiences, and then identified the following key themes in my experience reading the texts: the notion of the American Anti-Myth and the idea that it might still be possible, but only when faced with the absolute extreme. I was extremely surprised at the negative reality presented by the readings, especially in regards to the
Beyond the critical incident itself, which will be described and looked at as part of this report, I will also bring in a number of major themes and analysis methods. The two major tools that will be used in this report are Carper's Fundamental Patterns of Knowing and Gibb's Reflective Cycle. Each step and part of those two frameworks will be looked at in fairly strong detail. The essay
