Romantic relationships are seen as “a joyful fusion of closeness [and] communication…” (McCornack, 2010, p. 322) These relationships provide more of a bond than a regular relationship connected with friends and people we know but aren’t close to. A romantic relationship is a chosen interpersonal involvement built through communication in which both people in the relationship see it as romantic. In the development of a relationship, there are five stages. In the phase McCornack calls “coming together” there are five stages: initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, and bonding. The main stage I will be analyzing is the intensifying stage.…

Another thing that my boyfriend and I can do to strengthen our relationship is to communicate with one another more and not just chit-chat to break the silence. I believe that if we talked more about how we felt and what has been going on in our lives, our relationship would be a lot stronger. Our relationship is strong now but I think that it still needs work and some tender loving care. Not any one relationship is perfect and everyone needs to work on themselves as much as the relationships they have in their lives.…

In this essay, I am going to give a structured reflective account on the development of a therapeutic relationship with a client on one of my clinical placements as part of my training as a student nurse. I will be using a reflective model which explores the processes involved in developing and maintaining such relationships bearing in mind theoretical knowledge and how it applies to this clinical experience. Jasper (2003) describes reflective practice as one of the ways that professionals learn from experience in order to understand and develop their practice. As a trainee health care professional, I have learnt the importance of reflection in practice as a platform for judging one’s progress, strengths and weaknesses and also as a tool for appraising what went well during an intervention and what needs to be improved upon. Reflective practice is an important factor for nurses when building a therapeutic relationship with clients. Though this is essential in all nursing practices, it cannot be over emphasised in Mental Health nursing as this is based on quite a lot of understanding and trust between nurses and client. It is also now a respected and required learning and assessment method in many nursing programmes worldwide. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2008) requires nurses to keep knowledge and skills up to date throughout their working life. Considering the importance of clinical competence in the nursing profession, then it will suffice to say that reflection is an important tool in the nurse’s range of skills which aids the achievement and maintenance of clinical competence and performance (Mattews, 2004).…
