Your Research Paper should include the following: (1) a description of the disorder, including symptoms, and, most importantly, diagnostic criteria (as specified in the American Psychiatric Associationâs [2013] Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders); (2) information regarding prevalence rates of the disorder in the general population and across specific groups, such as groups that vary by race/ethnicity, gender, age, and socioeconomic status (SES); (3) discussion of etiological factors (i.e., possible causes of the disorder) and (4) discussion of evidence-based approaches to treatment (e.g., specific forms of psychotherapy and medical intervention supported by research findings). Note that the bulk of your paper should be devoted to developing the latter two sections (i.e., etiology and treatment).
You are also required at least five (5) references to be used in writing the paper. At least two of these references must be from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals in the field of psychology (e.g., Journal of Counseling Psychology, Journal of Consulting & Clinical Psychology, Professional Psychology: Research & Practice, etc.). NONE OF THE REFERENCES SHOULD BE WEBSITES (however, it is fine to use peer-reviewed journal articles or books/book chapters that you find available on-line). Your list of references should include contemporary sources (i.e., try to find sources published within the past 5-10 years, rather than using outdated sources).
