In your paper, you should take
a stand or position on an issue or topic confronting clinical psychologists and
the field in general. More
specifically, your topic or issue must address how the topic is relevant to
African descent people. You must make
the case that the issue or topic you are discussing is indeed relevant to
African Americans and that there are implications for this population. Once you take your position, you must then incorporate supporting
literature to substantiate the position you have. The question of culture and race must be included
in your analysis of the topic. Be
sure that the two peer reviewed articles you choose to help you layout the
issue and support (or oppose) your position are included in your paper. Remember, this is a scholarly
thought/reflection paper, which means your thoughts and analysis should be connected to the scholarly literature present in the field of clinical
psychology.
While your topic may be general
and reflect some issue that has been discussed in the field of clinical
psychology, you should make every effort to draw on information discussed in
the Akbar and Fu-Kiau texts. This is
an important perspective that is often left
out of the discussion in mainstream psychology, which should not be left out of your
paper.
Your thoughtful reflections
should be presented in about 4 to 5 typed, double-spaced pages. The paper should be no more than 6 pages. Be sure you turn in the 2 full-text
articles you pulled from in your paper. Remember,
you should be sure you check with me if you are not certain that your journal
articles are from major peer-review journals. NOTE: Each of the articles must be read by you in an effort to substantiate the position that you take. You
should incorporate the findings from each article into your paper, which means that your articles should
be short (between
4 and 10 pages). Papers
should be written according to APA guidelines/format (see APA
Publication Manual, 7th Ed).
