Very easy assignment,looks more difficult than it really is just please follow the directions below and use attachments, thank you. Develop an annotated bibliography on contemporary approaches to treatment based on current research and theoretical models.

Colleagues,

The sample annotated bibliography provided by the program is an example of how the work

should be formatted. An annotated bibliography is simply a review or a summary of the article

you read. The example suggests that the school would prefer that these be written as an

evaluation of the source material rather than as a summary of the content.

To make this simple and meaningful for you (I hope) you should follow these steps:

1. Read an article that discusses your topic 2. Write a sentence that tells what the article was about. This is your first sentence.

Ex. The authors used research to find out why CBT is used by almost everyone in the

mental health field.

3. What specifically did they do to test their hypothesis (idea)? Write this down. That is sentence two of your work. This can be expanded for more sentences if they did multiple

studies.

Ex. They asked two practitioners what they thought of CBT.

Ex. They asked two practitioners what they thought of CBT. Then, they asked two more

practitioners why they thought CBT limited the profession.

4. Think about whether or not you thought the information was good, helpful, stupid, awful, etc. Now, write down what you think about the article. You can even say how you

would have fixed their study or how you might use this information if you wish.

Ex. This was dumb. They should have asked thousands more practitioners who use a

variety of theoretical models. They might also have asked which specific treatments

from the theoretical models that were most helpful.

Ex. I don’t agree with the authors. They tested the model the invented. I think they might

be biased and I won’t use this information.

Ex. This was fantastic! I never knew this information before and I want to tell all of my

friends about it.

5. Now correctly format the reference for the article you read and stick it above your paragraph. Also, (for me) please put your name after the last sentence in your work.

Here is how the whole thing would look:

Research, I. S. & Study, M. E. (2014). The silly study that we did for a huge government grant.

Journal of I only publish things written by my friends, 115(2), 15-55.

The authors used research to find out why CBT is used by almost everyone in the

mental health field. They asked two practitioners what they thought of CBT.

Then, they asked two more practitioners why they thought CBT limited the

profession. This was dumb. They should have asked thousands more practitioners

who use a variety of theoretical models. They might also have asked which

specific treatments from the theoretical models that were most helpful. Your

name here.
