In Ch. 4, we learned how important it is to cultivate the skills of perception-checking as well as empathy and cognitive complexity. In order to practice and develop the skill of empathy/cognitive complexity, you will apply the Pillow Method (also explained in your text on pages 131-134) for your first application paper.
Choose ONE disagreement/conflict that you are currently having (or within the past two years) with someone in your life. Using the pillow method, examine/analyze this disagreement by describing and explaining the five different positions (perspectives) for this situation.
Download the handout for a detailed explanation on the Pillow Method.
Guidelines: This assignment should be typed, single-spaced and approximately 2-3 pages in length. Please use SUBHEADINGS for each of the positions in the method. Use 12 point font, 1 inch margins. This assignment should be submitted as an uploaded file into Canvas. Be sure to describe briefly what the conflict/disagreement in the introduction of your paper.
