Overview

• Review the feedback you received on Part 1 of the Final Project submitted in Week 5 and use the template for Part 2 to complete this Final Project assignment.
• Incorporate any feedback you received on Part 1 attached from your Instructor during Week 5.(feedback:Victoria, this paper demonstrates a thorough and detailed understanding of Natasha’s presenting concerns, with strong attention to cultural, relational, and identity-based factors that contribute to her anxiety. To improve the submission, consider tightening the case conceptualization by reducing repetition and organizing key themes (culture, family, identity, relationship stress, and functioning) into a more concise and integrated clinical narrative. While the diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder is well supported, the diagnostic section could be strengthened by briefly addressing differential considerations (e.g., depressive or adjustment-related features) and clearly summarizing how the core symptom pattern maintains impairment. The intervention section shows solid knowledge of CBT, but it would benefit from streamlining and focusing on the most relevant techniques rather than providing an exhaustive overview; prioritizing a few core strategies and explicitly linking them to Natasha’s primary symptoms would improve clarity and cohesion. Finally, the research question would be stronger if stated once, clearly and succinctly, with direct alignment to the intervention and population described. Overall, this is a well-informed and conceptually rich paper that would be enhanced by greater concision, tighter organization, and clearer linkage between diagnosis, intervention, and research focus.
• Search the Walden Library and choose three articles that relate to the intervention and mental health issue that you chose for your Final Project using the criteria below:
  • Three current (last 10 years) and peer-reviewed articles from professional counseling journals.
  • Include at least one quantitative and one qualitative research design.
  • Do NOT use meta-analysis type articles.
  • Verify that the research is not outside of the scope of practice for a professional counselor.
• For each article you choose, be sure to include:
  • A complete citation of the article
  • The purpose, research problem, methodology and results used in each article.
  • A PDF of each article selected. Assignments submitted without all three PDFs will earn no points. See the directions below on how to submit.
