Over the length of this course, you will be engaged in writing assignments about a psychological disorder of your choice that will help you build pieces of the final project. This will allow you to get feedback from your instructor throughout the course, enabling you to update and improve your work based on that feedback. This approach allows you to submit a polished version of your final project in Module 5. Last week you completed your title page and your literature review worksheet. This week you will use the information from the worksheet to write a narrative literature review that you can paste into your final project next week.
For this assignment, you will be crafting a literature review about your selected disorder for your final project, utilizing at least six academic sources from the NLU library. You will use the information you completed for your worksheet in Module 3 to complete this assignment in a narrative format. Your literature review should include:
- Details about the symptoms of your selected disorder
- Describe the treatment options available for this disorder
- Discuss future implications for treatment options for this disorder
This paper should be completed in Microsoft Word or a similar word processing program and double-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font and APA style guidelines throughout. The literature review should be 500-750 words and include a minimum of 6 APA-cited references.
The page “Effective Strategies for Literature Reviews” offers helpful guidelines. Please refer to the rubric associated with this assignment for detailed guidance about expectations and grading.
Effective Strategies for Literature Reviews
Step 1: Searching the Literature
The most important step in doing the literature review is to consult the relevant databases (e.g., PsychINFO, Academic Search Complete). Your search will identify many articles. Based on the abstract of the article, you will be able to decide that many of them are not directly relevant. Locate and read the articles with abstracts that are promising.
A good starting place is this NLU research guide for Psychology. This guide centralizes major resources in the field of psychology, including databases for searching journals articles, public websites, and APA style:

Step 2: Writing the Literature Review
Your review should summarize the literature on your topic. Concentrate on synthesizing or integrating some of the literature; that is, point out connections between different concepts, viewpoints, or research paradigms. You also need to evaluate the literature you discuss. What are the strengths and weaknesses of specific viewpoints or research paradigms? How does this recent literature extend our knowledge? What are the needed next steps for the field in developing theory or research in this area?
Katika kipindi hiki cha masomo, utahitaji kuandika kazi kuhusu ugonjwa wa kisaikolojia unaochaguliwa na wewe, ambayo itakusaidia kujenga vipande vya mradi wa mwisho. Hii itakuruhusu kupata maoni kutoka kwa mwalimu wako wakati wote wa kozi, ikikuruhusu kusasisha na kuboresha kazi yako kulingana na maoni hayo. Kwa mfano, unaweza kuandaa na kuandaa toleo la mwisho la mradi wako katika Moduli 5. Juma lililopita ulimaliza ukurasa wako wa kichwa na karatasi yako ya ukaguzi wa fasihi. Katika wiki hii, utajifunza jinsi ya kuandika nakala ya maandishi ambayo unaweza kuingiza katika mradi wako wa mwisho. Katika kazi hii, utaandika ukaguzi wa fasihi kuhusu ugonjwa wako uliochaguliwa kwa mradi wako wa mwisho, kwa kutumia angalau vyanzo sita vya kitaaluma kutoka kwa maktaba ya NLU. Kujifunza kuhusu kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi ya kazi. "Uchunguzi wa maandishi unapaswa kujumuisha: ""Maelezo kuhusu dalili za ugonjwa wako uliochaguliwa, maelezo ya chaguzi za matibabu zinazopatikana kwa ugonjwa huu, majadiliano ya baadaye ya athari za chaguzi za matibabu kwa ugonjwa huu, karatasi hii inapaswa kukamilika katika Microsoft Word au programu ya usindikaji wa neno sawa na nafasi mbili kwa kutumia 12 pointi ya ""Times New Roman"" font na miongozo ya mtindo wa APA." Maelezo ya fasihi yanapaswa kuwa na maneno 500 na 750 na kujumuisha angalau marejeo sita ya APA. Ukurasa <unk>Mkakati Ufanisi wa Ukaguzi wa Fasihi<unk> hutoa miongozo yenye kusaidia. Tafadhali tazama sehemu inayohusiana na kazi hii kwa mwongozo wa kina kuhusu matarajio na viwango. Mazoezi ya Utafiti wa Fasihi ya Utafiti: Hatua ya kwanza ya utafiti wa fasihi ni kutafuta katika hifadhidata za kitaaluma. Utafutaji wako utagundua makala nyingi. Kulingana na muhtasari wa makala, utaweza kuamua kwamba nyingi kati yao hazihusiani moja kwa moja. Tafuta na usome makala zenye muhtasari wenye kuahidi. Sehemu nzuri ya kuanza ni hii NLU mwongozo wa utafiti kwa ajili ya Saikolojia. Mwongozo huu centralizes rasilimali kuu katika uwanja wa saikolojia, ikiwa ni pamoja na hifadhidata kwa ajili ya kutafuta makala ya majarida, tovuti za umma, na APA style: - NLU. (Siku ya 17 Septemba 2017) Saikolojia [Msaada na mwongozo wa utafiti]. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya ""Mtazamo wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti wa Utafiti.""" Zingatia kuunganisha au kuunganisha baadhi ya fasihi; yaani, taja uhusiano kati ya dhana tofauti, maoni, au mifano ya utafiti. Pia, unahitaji kuchunguza vichapo unavyozungumzia. Ni nini nguvu na udhaifu wa maoni maalum au mifano ya utafiti? Machapisho haya ya hivi karibuni yanaongezaje ujuzi wetu? Ni hatua gani zinazohitajika za baadaye kwa uwanja katika kuendeleza nadharia au utafiti katika eneo hili?
