Biopsychosocial Forces

Introduce material here… Remember, each written assignment must have the headings listed below and must be answered according to assignment instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade and this is how your work should be submitted. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. You do not want to copy-and-paste the case, but put forth a brief summary so your reader knows what is going on.

This section is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. If written properly, this section can actually serve as the abstract for the paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember that you obtained this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Kail (2017). You should NOT write According to the textbook as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Do remember to take notes as you read through the chapter and assigned reading information so that you are prepared to complete this report.

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an it, not a they. Remember that when using pronouns describing a business. Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section.

Biopsychosocial

In this section, you will briefly describe what you will cover. It should only take a few sentences. After describing what you will cover, this section will answer the mandate, “Consider the biopsychosocial forces in a relative’s life. Interview one of your relatives or close friends. Ideally the person will have already experienced a great deal of development (for example, someone 55 years or older). Focus on determining the primary biological, psychological, sociocultural, and life cycle forces that have affected the individual’s development. 

After the interview, fill out Handout 1-1 (found in in Addendums after the Reference Page) and write a one- to two-page paper that discusses how these forces have interacted in the individual’s life using this template.” Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section. You can also support your thoughts with quoted or paraphrased material, but that can never replace your own words, plus it must be properly identified, cited, and referenced.

Systems Thinking

In this section, you will briefly describe what you will cover, which would be a few, brief statements about the person you interviewed, such as who they are, their relationship to you, etc. Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section.

Biological Forces

In this section, you will summarize the information in the Biological Forces section of the handout for the person you interviewed. Try to provide at least one complete paragraph summary of this section’s information, and always enough to let the reader understand that you have a good grasp on this concept.

Sociocultural Forces

In this section, you will summarize the information in the Sociocultural Forces section of the handout for the person you interviewed. Try to provide at least one complete paragraph summary of this section’s information, and always enough to let the reader understand that you have a good grasp on this concept.

Psychological Forces

In this section, you will summarize the information in the Psychological Forces section of the handout for the person you interviewed. Try to provide at least one complete paragraph summary of this section’s information, and always enough to let the reader understand that you have a good grasp on this concept.

Life Cycle Forces

In this section, you will summarize the information in the Life-Cycle Forces section of the handout for the person you interviewed. Try to provide at least one complete paragraph summary of this section’s information, and always enough to let the reader understand that you have a good grasp on this concept.

Summary and Conclusions

This section will tie together all sources used for this professional assignment, conclusions drawn from the readings, and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, and between the summary or conclusions and the reference page. Note: If there is a header at the bottom of the page (on the last line), you will need to insert a page break immediately before the header to properly move it to the next page with its text. All references for the assignment must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example). Best practice is to always have at least 2-3-peer-reviewed or academic references, of which one should be your textbook or other assigned readings.

References

This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. It also gets its own page, meaning that it will not start at the bottom of a previous page. The heading should appear at the top of the page (first line of text) and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name. Also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the journal or magazine is in italics. Furthermore, references are formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the first line is never indented, and all subsequent lines are indented. See examples below:
