Theory Application

 

We have covered a large number of concepts, theories, and disorders as we studied General Psychology this term. Would you believe we still only scratched the surface? You should now be able to think critically about the theories and how they could be applied to real world situations. In this assignment, you will create a 3 page assignment (5 pages including the Cover page and Reference page) in APA style, using the following criteria: 

1. Define your career/life goals. -Career choice physical therapist

• Cite your sources, including any additional facts you use from the OpenStax textbook.
