Does therapy and counseling actually have a lasting positive impact on mental health patients

You have graduated from college and are working as a professional in your field.

Your supervisor has asked you to compile an evaluative annotated bibliography on a problem in your field to help her prepare a report to the administration on how your company will address the problem. Your annotated bibliography should include a minimum of 10 sources from a variety of publications. Structure of Your Annotated Bibliography  Begin with an introductory paragraph that defines the problem you’re researching. o This paragraph should follow academic writing conventions and contain your thesis statement.  Citations should be formatted in APA style. o If you need a refresher on APA style, check out the King University Libraries’ How to Cite Your Sources Guide: http://king.libguides.com/citation  Entries should be in alphabetical order by author’s last name.

 Basic structure: citation followed by 1-2 paragraphs summarizing and analyzing the source. What to Include in Your Entries

 A brief summary of the source. Include only the main points of the article:

o What was the source about? o What methods or data were included?

o What were the author’s conclusions?

 A detailed analysis of the source: o How recently was this information published?

o Is the author qualified to write on this subject? How do you know?

o How were the methods and/or data presented?

o Did the author’s conclusions make sense in light of the data?

o Was anything missing from the author’s analysis? Did they ignore a major aspect of the problem? How did that influence their conclusions?

 Your conclusion about the source: o How does this source fit within the context of your research?

o Is it a source that you would ultimately use for the final report?

You might not be able to answer all these questions for each source, but you should try to answer at least two from the analysis list as well as formulate a conclusion about the source. Please note – you do not need a cover page for the annotated bibliography. My “profession” on this assignment is a mental health counselor and I am researching whether counseling has a positive lasting impact on patients.
