Pyschosomatic diease psoriasis

Please read the details of the paper very carefully Literature Review Paper Identify a psychosomatic disease (e.g., asthma, cancer). The disease may be psychogenic or somatogenic. Conduct a literature search on the role of stress in the manifestation and/or maintenance of the disease. Review the stress management techniques discussed in the literature to treat the disease. Cover the following topics in the paper: 1. Begin with an introduction of the psychosomatic disease (e.g., what is the disease and its impact. About a paragraph or two, do not extend beyond two paragraphs for this section). 2. Discuss the impact of stress on the identified disease. Provide empirical support (e.g., data/findings) on the association between stress and the disease (about 1/3 of the paper, not counting the introduction and conclusion). o In this section, discuss the role of stress in the manifestation and/or maintenance of the disease. Provide support for your discussion using data/findings from the literature. 3. Review stress management programs documented in the literature for disease management. Provide empirical support (e.g., data/results) on the efficacy of the treatments on the identified disease (about 2/3 of the paper, not counting the introduction and conclusion). o In this section, discuss multiple cognitive behavioral stress management programs that have been empirically tested to manage the stress associated with the disease. Organize each strategy with a subtitle. Under each subsection, provide support for your discussion using data/results from the literature. This discussion must be linked directly to the disease. For example, discuss how the stress management program impacts the disease outcome. 4. Conclude with a summary of the existing literature on #2 and #3 above (one paragraph). Review Chapter 3 on psychosomatic disease. Consider running your topic by me to make sure it is an appropriate topic. Examples of appropriate topics are asthma, headaches, and hypertension. Examples of inappropriate topics include anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and somatic symptom disorders as these are mental disorders. All your statements in the paper should be supported by the literature with appropriate referencing. Please keep in mind that intuition and personal opinions/experiences are not empirical. As expected, do not plagiarize. The penalty for plagiarism includes filing an academic misconduct report and point deduction (for minor violation), failing the paper, or failing the course. Plagiarism means the presentation of the ideas and/or the words of someone else as one’s own. A student commits plagiarism if he/she uses any part of another person’s ideas without proper citation. Plagiarism also includes using another person’s written words without paraphrasing even when proper citation is used. Additionally, the plagiarism penalty also includes plagiarizing yourself. Please do not submit a paper that has been submitted for a previous class. Using sections of a previous paper is also not permitted for this assignment. Please do not use quotation in the paper. When you discuss the literature, you should summarize the literature in your own words rather than quoting other people’s words verbatim. Points will be deducted for quotations with a single point deduction for each percentage point in quotation. For example, if 30% of your paper is in quotes, 30 points will be deducted from the paper. The paper must be written in APA format (6th edition) with a cover page and a reference page.

Aside from reporting statistics on the disease (e.g., the prevalence of asthma), web pages are not permitted as sources of information for this paper. Do not use the Greenberg textbook as a reference. Five points will be deducted for each citation made using the Greenberg textbook or the web (aside from reporting statistics on the disease). For example, if the paper cites two web pages and the Greenberg text book, 15 points will be deducted from the total score of the paper. This assignment requires that students submit a 5-7 page paper with one-inch margin (12 point font) on all sides (excluding cover and reference pages).
