Consistent with the PWC of communication and interpersonal skills (v), the goal of the paper is to allow students to demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate, via written modality, on a topic area related ethical (ii) and professional issues (iv) in a manner that is both informative and well-integrated. Students are also expected to indicate how a topic might be addressed from a culturally competent perspective (iii) (see below).The final paper will be 15 pages of content 16 with references in length and discuss a particular ethical or professional issue related to the discipline of Psychology. Papers are expected to reflect a thoughtful analysis of a key professional or ethic issue and demonstrate an integration of knowledge based on existing empirical literature as it relates to the practice of psychology. The topic may be on any ethical or professional issue about which a student is interested in learning more, but must also address how the topic might be addressed from a culturally competent perspective. Some topics which may be of interest include: debate over prescription privileges for psychologists, risks of electronic communication with clients, duty to warn in working with high risk populations, clinical or research issues in working with impaired populations, suggested revisions for the next version of the APA code, etc. Some suggestions for information to include in the paper is the frequency and/or the significance of the issue (i.e. Why is this topic important?), key issues related to the topic (history of issue, current consequences/benefits or pros/cons, alternatives?), conclusions (What do you conclude about this issue? Suggestions for future?) and a final narrative portion indicating your personal reactions/attitudes toward the topic, including any relevant diversity issues and how the topic may be addressed from a culturally competent perspective, and how such knowledge may be used in your life-long learning and ongoing professional development. Students should give thought to their paper topic early in the quarter. Students will turn in their selected topic in class WEEK 3 to allow ample time to complete the paper by its due date. It is expected that papers be written in a professional manner and consistent with format of the most recent edition of the APA publication manual. * No quotations and as many references as needed for 15 pages. If you could include some of my appear in that i have already written that would be phenomenal.
