Literature in psychotherapy differs from other areas of clinical practice. Generally, there are no clinical trials in psychotherapy because it is often neither appropriate nor ethical to have controls in psychotherapy research. This sometimes makes it more difficult to translate research findings into practice. In your role, however, you must be able to synthesize current literature and apply it to your own clients. For this Assignment, you begin practicing this skill by examining current literature on psychodynamic therapy and considering how it might translate into your own clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Evaluate the application of current literature to clinical practice

To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide.

· Select one of the psychodynamic therapy articles from the Learning Resources to evaluate for this Assignment. PSYCHOANALYSIS ON THE INTERNET: ( {see attachment} Migone, P. (2013). Psychoanalysis on the Internet: A discussion of its theoretical implications for both online and offline therapeutic technique. Psychoanalytic Psychology, 30(2), 281–299. https://doi-org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1037/a0031507)

Note: In nursing practice, it is not uncommon to review current literature and share findings with your colleagues. Approach this Assignment as though you were presenting the information to your colleagues.

The Assignment

In a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:

· Provide an overview of the article you selected.

o What population is under consideration?

o What was the specific intervention that was used? Is this a new intervention or one that was already used?

o What were the author’s claims?

· Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own clients. If so, how? If not, why?

· Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article. Support your position with evidence-based literature.

Note: The presentation should be 5–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than ½ page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

In collaboration with your approved course mentor, you will identify   a specific evidence-based practice proposal topic for the capstone   project. Consider the clinical environment in which you are currently   working or have recently worked. The capstone project topic can be a   clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a quality   improvement suggestion, a leadership initiative, or an educational   need appropriate to your area of interest as well as your practice   immersion (practicum) setting. Examples of the integration of   community health, leadership, and an EBP can be found on the   “Educational and Community-Based Programs” page of the Healthy     People 2020 website.

Write a 500-750 word description of your proposed capstone project   topic. Make sure to include the following:

1. The problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational     need that will be the focus of the project
2. The setting or     context in which the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or     educational need can be observed.
3. A description providing a  high level of detail regarding the problem, issue, suggestion,     initiative, or educational need.
4. Impact of the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need on the work     environment, the quality of care provided by staff, and patient   outcomes.
5. Significance of the problem, issue, suggestion,     initiative, or educational need and its implications to   nursing.
6. A proposed solution to the identified project   topic

You are required to retrieve and assess a minimum of 8 peer-reviewed   articles. Plan your time accordingly to complete this assignment.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
