The proposal paper will consist of a paper that is at least 5 full pages for the body. Each paper must be double spaced with size 12 Times New Roman font and 1 inch margins on all sides. Also remember that per the departmental grading rubric, at least three scholarly journals must be used (most strong papers will require several more). In addition, your paper must be in APA format (one inch margins, double spaced), 5-7 double spaced pages for the body, APA style Section Headings, and a reference page.
For the Proposal Paper, you will be asked to select a therapy approach (e.g., Adlerian) and a population to work with (e.g., children). You will then be asked to apply your therapy approach to the population you have selected by addressing many of the tasks, issues and problems that are addressed throughout the group therapy process. Be sure to take your reader through all the relevant stages of the group therapy process as follows:Part I of each paper requires you to develop a proposal for the group you wish to run. In Part 2 of each paper, you will present the stages of group process and discuss the issues you are likely to confront during the stage and the therapeutic technique(s) you will apply to address these issues.
The Proposal Paper must include the following sections. You may use APA formatted headings.
Proposal
The formation of the group
The initial stage
The transition stage
The working stage
The final stage or termination of the group.

How and when would you introduce this technique? How would you facilitate the children during this activity to best achieve your hoped outcome (e.g., greater participation from all members)?
Given the length of this paper (i.e., 5-7 pages) you will not be able to address every issue as it pertains to the approach, population and stage being discussed. Therefore, you will need to select those issues, techniques and problems that are most meaningful to you and most relevant to the approach and population you are writing about.
