ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY TERM PAPER The University has designated this course as “writing intensive”. As a result, you are required to write a 3,000 word paper (not including references) based on an in-depth review of one DSM-5 psychological disorder of your choosing. If your topic is not listed as a DSM-5 disorder, points will be deducted. No direct quotes are allowed. Part of this writing assignment is to learn how to paraphrase information from previous studies. Please email me if you have questions regarding your topic or how to appropriate paraphrase. I recommend using Psychinfo to retrieve peer-reviewed journal articles. The UH library has training available for undergrads who are not familiar with this tool. I highly suggest reading your paper out loud to yourself or someone else to make sure the flow and clarity are sufficient. I do this with every paper before I submit it for publication. Use APA style headings to identify sections in which you discuss Etiology, Prevalence rates, Diagnostic Criteria, Impairment and Treatments. All papers must be submitted as a word document using the Turnitin.com link on BlackBoard. All materials must be original and cannot come from papers turned in during previous courses. Essentially, if you turn in a paper that you submitted during a previous course, this will be treated as plagiarism. At least 10 APA style in-text citations (8 of which need to be from peer-reviewed articles) and APA style reference page. APA style headings for sections listed below Etiology (e.g., genetics, learning) Prevalence rates across, age, gender and race/ethnicity Diagnostic criteria Functional impairment associated with the disorder (e.g., elevated suicide rates) Evidence-based treatments including dropout rates (e.g., psychotherapy vs. Medication)
