Conduct a literature review to obtain material related to the assigned theorist and the model. The material should include research conducted in the theory or model, with clinical examples.
Do literature search on the theorist and provide a brief overview of the theorist's background. Also complete a 1-page summary for each of the five articles (see attachment) related to the theory and theorist, the top of the page should have the complete reference in APA format.
Directions
1. Select five articles that reflect a comprehensive literature review of the theory ropounded by the theorist you have been assigned and summarize each. The articles should contain at least two primary and secondary sources, one of which must be a research article.
2. A primary source is an article written by the theorist herself. A secondary source is an article written about the theory or its use by another author. A research article is one in which the theory was used as the foundation for a research study; this may be a primary or secondary source depending upon whether the research was done by the theorist or by someone using her theory.
1. Start each summary on a separate page. Summaries should be one page in length for each article. Begin each summary with the correct APA citation of the article.
2. The summary should contain an introduction, a synopsis of the article, and a conclusion that contains your own evaluation of the article and its relevance.
3. Integrate all articles into a comprehensive reference list at the end of the literature review.
