part 2 Review Paper (10%)
A review paper describes many published research studies on a particular topic. For this project, you will be critiquing an article that is a review paper.
Select one of the three diagnostic categories discussed in this week’s readings (mood disorders, somatoform disorders, or dissociative disorders).
You may choose one of the review articles listed above (Boysen, 2011; Stewart, Simmons, & Habibpour, 2012; Young & Korszun, 2010), or you can locate a scholarly, peer-reviewed article of your own in the Keiser University online library that reviews prior research related to etiology and/or treatment of a diagnosis in one of the three diagnostic categories. Complete a summary of the main points and findings. Describe it in a scholarly (using critical thinking) manner, but also in a way that someone from outside the area can understand.
