The Final Paper provides the opportunity for you to demonstrate your ability to do research and apply the concepts. This assignment MUST be typed, double-spaced, in APA style, and must be written at graduate level English. You are required to utilize the Internet and the University Virtual Library to research current literature and information to enhance your analysis for this project.

Using the University Virtual Library, find articles from professional journal dated within the past 5 years. A minimum of eight (8) research articles are required to complete this assignment.

Directions:

For the final research paper you will be comparing and contrasting 2 schools of counseling and psychotherapy.

For example:

Psychoanalytic and Cognitive Behavioral
Psychoanalytic and Family Systems Approach
Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic/Existential
Cognitive Behavioral and Family Systems
Etc.

If you are not sure if you are choosing 2 different schools of counseling, please write your mentor prior to doing the research paper.

Your research paper must include:

·        –  compare and contrast both theories

·         – discuss evidence-based research on applicability of each theory and treatment

·         – present research on the pros and cons of each theory to specific populations

·        –  integrate research on culture and diversity in regard to the applicability of each theory

·         – create an original case example that ties in your research (this should only be ½ to 1 page)

In the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, the American Educational Research Association (1999) denotes five forms of evidence for use in evaluating a selection procedure for a specific application: (a) relationships between predictor scores and other variables (e.g., test–criterion relationships), (b) content, (c) internal test structure, (d) response processes, and (e) testing consequences. Industrial/Organizational (I/O) practitioners need to be mindful of these considerations in test development and in choosing standardized tests for employee selection.

Effective personnel selection processes entail systematically implementing assessments to evaluate job-related knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), and personality traits (Arabian, 2008). Establishing job requirements provides a firm foundation for selection, and it facilitates identifying appropriate assessments to cover all dimensions of a given job and the results of performing that job (outcomes). Consequently, an effective selection process should include a variety of assessments measuring different aspects of a candidate with the ultimate goal of providing as full and accurate an assessment of as many job dimensions as possible (Arabian, 2008). Consider the assessments that you encountered before you were hired at a recent job. Do you believe they were effective in capturing the multiple dimensions of that job? If outcomes were included, do you think they were necessary?

Postan explanation of what process should be used to determine the effectiveness of personnel selection effectiveness. Then, provide your position on whether multiple outcomes should be used in personnel selection. Provide concrete examples and citations from the Learning Resources and current literature to support your post.

Submit a 6- to 9-page paper that focuses on an adolescent from one of the case studies presented in this course. For this Project, complete a bio-psycho-social assessment and provide an analysis of the assessment. This Project is divided into two parts:

  • Client strengths, capacities, and resources

Part B: Analysis of Assessment. Address each of the following:

  • Explain the challenges faced by the client(s)—for example, drug addiction, lack of basic needs, victim of abuse, new school environment, etc.
  • Analyze how the social environment affects the client.
  • Identify which human behavior or social theories may guide your practice with this individual and explain how these theories inform your assessment.
  • Explain how you would use this assessment to develop mutually agreed-upon goals to be met in order to address the presenting issue and challenges face by the client.
  • Explain how you would use the identified strengths of the client(s) in a treatment plan.
  • Explain how you would use evidence-based practice when working with this client and recommend specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.) to address the presenting issue.
  • Analyze the ethical issues present in the case. Explain how will you address them.
  • Describe the issues will you need to address around cultural competence.
