Literature Review, Outline, and Questions: Each student will be required to find an article or chapter dealing with outcome research in psychotherapy. She or he will then read and study this article or chapter, and develop an outline with complete reference from this article. If an article is chosen, it should be a Literature Review article or a Meta-analysis article, dealing with the treatment of a specific disorder. If a chapter is chosen, it should also deal with empirically-supported treatment of a specific disorder (hint: the Barlow book I suggest you buy is a compendium of such chapters, and any chapter in that book will work for this assignment 😊). This outline will be provided to all of the other students in the course (hopefully via BlackBoard). The outline should be no more than 3 pages long, and no less than 2.5 pages long. It will contain: 1) complete citation information for the article or chapter, 2) an outline that is well organized, clear, concise yet thorough, and that presents the central information from this article or chapter. 3). The outline itself will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this study, as seen from the perspective of the Empirically-supported treatment movement (I have provided articles regarding this movement and how to evaluate research using its tenets). 4) The last component will be 3 multiple choice questions that the students will be able to answer from the information in the preceding sections of the outline. The purpose of this assignment is: 1) to allow the student to gain advanced knowledge in a specific area of interest (possibly related to career goals and treatment of a specific demographic or syndrome), 2) to demonstrate how to access, evaluate, and apply information from peer-reviewed journals and professional manuals.
