Answer:

The three-column exercise

Explanation:

The three-column exercise consists of drawing three columns on a blank sheet, determining what kind of information goes in each column, and then comparing all columns until you reach a concrete conclusion. This tactic is widely used by health professionals to examine and help patients understand their stereotypes, prejudices, frustrations and assumptions.

An example of how the three-column exercise can be done is: After drawing the three colonists, the health professional can ask the patient what types of prejudices and thoughts they usually have and put the patient's answers in the first column. Soon after, the healthcare professional can ask the patient what times of the day the patient usually has these thoughts and write the patient's answers in the second column. Finally, the proof professional may ask the patient what he thinks would be necessary to change these thoughts and write the patient's answers in the third column.

In this way, the healthcare professional will be able to better examine the patient's prejudices and help him or her understand these thoughts.
