Application paper
Write one six- to eight-page (excluding Title page and reference page), double spaced application paper as part of the assignments to meet the learning objectives of this course.
The application paper will focus on a single specific DSM-5 identified disorder and present the student’s understanding of the general etiology, progression, and symptoms of the disorder, as well as effective treatment approaches.
Discuss considerations specific to a chosen population (such as depression in Southeast Asian men, anxiety in Afghanistan women, or other populations not limited to age, ethnicity, gender, orientation, or religion), including any unique circumstances, conditions, or issues faced by people of the identified population experiencing the chosen disorder.
Analysis will include discussion of how the disorder affects patients, their families, and society in general. Students will be required to have their application paper topic approved, and not doing so will result in a 10% deduction to the grade of the application paper. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. The course instructor will provide clear expectations and guidelines for the paper.
Combine your own thoughtful analysis with ideas and information found in a minimum of three academic sources. These sources should be from journal articles located in the CityU library on line database. Research must be current (2012-2016).
Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature – these papers have to be analytical papers, not a summary of readings. These papers must meet APA requirements of format and style. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
