Through utilization of secondary research, prepare a 7 page research paper on
an area relative to the topic you will explore in your Life Arts Project.
Choose any psychological disorder covered in the course (must be recognized by
DSM-5) and using at least 5 psychology scientific journal articles (e.g., Journal of
Abnormal Psychology) (preferably no earlier than 2012), your textbook, and
DSM-5 as references, discuss the primary characteristics and related features of
the disorder; research-supported causal theories and empirically supported
treatment options and their relative effectiveness. This research should be both
quantitative and qualitative and include at least one quantitative study to
exemplify scientific research in the area of the students interest. Stay away
from student personal narratives and autobiographies until the LAP. Research
should be more focused toward scholarly research.
Research Paper must be in APA format which includes a Cover page, Running
Head, Page #, Abstract, and Reference Page.
