ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC COMMENTS:
Dear Kelsey, I cannot even begin to tell you what a pleasure it is to have you as a student. Your work is of
an exceptional high quality – thank you! At this point your APA is basically faultless, you know how to use
theory and integrate into the challenges of everyday practice and you show skill in the step-by -step
application of your modality and the justification of your modality using theory! In terms of your reference
letter, so far you are the only student who actually created their own letter head! Well done, as this is
where all your relevant information is, so that you do not need to ‘introduce’ yourself to the referral
practitioner.
To improve mark: the only places I can ‘fault’ you is in the countertransference section [if you had included
it this would have given me a clearer indication of your empathy levels], and in terms of the referral letter –
rather ask for feedback directly then ‘Feel free to get back to me regarding your thoughts on this matter’ –
as they [in my experience] probably won’t take the hint that you really want to have feedback. Also rather
than ‘closing’ thoughts have a definite ‘Conclusion’ section.
Please also remember that I encourage you to continue developing your favourite theory and then to read
10 books a year on that theory, so that at the end of your graduate studies you should have read a
minimum of 30 books [cover-to-cover] on your favourite theory – this will give and expand your excellent
grounding in theory and the application thereof.
