Sheila Ernst and Lucy Goodison have described using some of the main humanistic approaches in self-help groups. Humanistic psychology includes several approaches to counseling and therapy. Among the earliest approaches we find the developmental theory of Abraham Maslow, emphazising a hierarchy of needs and motivations. Existential-integrative psychotherapy, developed by Kirk Schneider (2008), is a relatively new development within humanistic and existential therapy. Students are to choose one of the below personality approaches and provide a 10-15 page paper addressing the following: If any of the sections above are missing from the paper, the grade will be reduced by at least 20%. The paper must comply with APA Publication Manual guidance. Choose one of these personality approaches: : You must include at least 10 scholarly resources in your paper. Have you done all of the following: Does your paper (it should be double spaced) meet the minimum length? Did you include all of the sections (it can be very helpful to label these)? Did you cover each area in depth? Here are some suggest lengths for each section: Intro (.5-1) Theoretical approach (1-2 pages) Major theorists (approx 1-2 page each x 4) Compare & Contrast (approx 1 page) Standardized measures appropriate to theory (e.g. MMPI, Rorschach, TAT, various behavioral checklists, Beck Depression Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 16 PF, NEO-PI etc), make sure to include creators, population for whom it is frequently used, reliability and validity information (approximately 1 page each x2) Clinical Applications (1-2 pages) Concl
usion (.5-1 page) Did you include at least 4 theorists and at least 2 measures? Does your paper include an introduction and a conclusion? Did you use a formal style appropriate for a scholarly paper? Did you consistently use third person? (you can not use first person-I or we-or second person-you). Did you proofread for typos, sentence structure, grammar, etc. ? This counts significantly toward your grade and the AFP will be graded much more strictly than the minipaper. Did you utilize at least 10 scholarly sources (if you are having trouble locating enough, make sure to contact the Library staff vis the Resources section on the tool bar)? Did you use appropriate APA style? Are all of your in-text citations included in your Reference section and vice-versa? You must both paste into the window PLUS attach an appropriately-titled file. This is very important–I have now had two students within the past year who I had to give a 0 on the AFP because I could not open their attachment and they did not respond to my attempts to contact them.
