Chapter eleven presented several skills that can be used to start, build, and maintain interpersonal relationships with people from our daily, professional, and personal lives. I thought that all of the listed skills could be very useful and helpful in an interpersonal relationships but felt that there were a few that aren't really necessary when communicating. In my opinion, social decentering, providing support, and listening actively in order to respond effectively strike me as the most important relationship strategies. I believe that the most valuable skill to have is social decentering because it gives you a better understanding of how others will feel and think. This skill is needed to appropriately adjust you're behavior so that you can effectively communicate with others based on you're knowledge of that specific person. This will allow you to predict that person's behavior and reaction to certain situations.

This goal is two parts, studying more is not set too high or too low because assignments are consistent and it is my responsibility to keep on top of them.

I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating. Most people who are diagnosed with this tend to become violent because they are fighting themselves and others out of frustration. I like you idea of the treatment/housing facility. I think that would be wonderful.

Director David Flincher adapted the film from the 1996 novel.
