COMPONENTS OF THE individual PAPER
Heath/Mental Health Theory:
Choose a

Kernberg
Masterson
Fairbairn
Self-Psychology
Contemporary Cognitive Behavioral theory
(includes neurobiology)
Trauma theories
Social Learning theory
Health and Mental Health integration:

covered in class e.g. health beliefs, theory of reasoned action,
etc.
Neurobiology:
A section on neurobiology is required which may include
stress theory.
Diversity:
Diversity issues must also

awareness of how these factors (e.g. class, gender, culture, race, sexual
orientation) may impact your topic (for example, women who have been victims of
domestic violence and the relationship to cardiovascular disease).
Treatment:
A
1-2-page section on treatment is required. Be sure the treatment flows from
your theoretical perspective.
