Research Analysis: Locating Journal Articles
This week you will find empirical research to inform the question Is child-centered therapy effective?
Is child-centered therapy effective? While it would be impossible to conclusively answer this question with a single research study, there are countless studies that provide insight on this issue. You task this week is to locate 3 peer-reviewed, journal articles that investigate some aspect of the effectiveness of child-centered therapy. The articles do not need to directly answer the big question of is child-centered therapy effective? but may report on smaller, supporting issues that inform this question.
The empirical research articles for this assignment must be:
Peer-reviewed
Present original research
Published in scientific journals
Published in the last 5 years
After you locate and read the article, write a reaction paper response to the question Is child-centered therapy effective? Within your response, you must include APA style citations to give credit to the findings of each study. Remark on expertise of the author(s), any obvious biases in each article, and the coverage of the theory. The conclusion of your paper should summarize what the three studies combine to tell you about child-centered therapy.
