Western Counseling Theories Vs Art Therapy For Culturally Diverse Clients

Western Counseling Theories Vs Art Therapy For Culturally Diverse Clients

Please ensure the following:
The Commission on Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) requires that MFT approved programs, “teach ways that MFTs can support
marginalized and underserved communities and demonstrate an appreciation for the many ways that discrimination negatively influences the lives of
marginalized and underserved people served by MFT professionals, including antiracism and work with sexual and gender minorities and their families. The
standards promote inclusion, respect for diversity, non-discrimination, and social responsibility from a perspective that is appreciative of the effects of larger
sociocultural factors, on experience.” Link (Links to an external site.) For this reason, MFT-related research should also reflect principles of inclusivity. As you
consider your research topic, think about how you can make it inclusive and avoid marginalizing those that have been previously marginalized.
All work must be submitted in 7th edition APA style.

The object of the project in this class is to propose a research project. For a concise overview of research papers, you can read:

You will develop the project in the four parts listed below. The page counts provided are an estimate intended to help you satisfy the requirements for the
final paper, which is to be 15-20 pages long (page count may NOT include the required title page, table of contents and reference pages)
1. You will write a description of a problem that needs to be researched in the field of Counseling and Psychotherapy that interests you. Provide reasons why
research is needed to answer a research question. Within this part is included a specific research question and hypothesis. (To be submitted in Week 3) This
section is be about 3-4 pages and the page count may NOT include the required title page, table of contents, and references.
2. (To be submitted in Week 5) Revise the first section based upon feedback from your mentor. Add background information based upon research conducted
around the area of your research topic from research journal articles. This is typically called a literature review. Use a thematic concept for your literature
review where you synthesize the information obtained from your sources into themes rather than summaries of the articles. This section should have a
minimum of 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed sources focused on the areas around your research question and add about 6-10 pages to the total page count (the
page count may NOT include the required title page, table of contents, and references). Review information here about writing a literature review: (Links to an

3. (To be submitted in Week 6) Continue to enhance your previous work and revise as needed based upon feedback from your mentor. Add a description of
how you would design a study to test the stated hypothesis in Part 1. Use the information from the textbook to determine what type of methodology you are
proposing. Explain the type of methodology you are proposing, why that type is being recommended, and describe the participants, sampling frame, cultural
and ethical considerations. This section is to add about 3-4 pages and the page count may NOT include the required title page, table of contents, and
references.
4. (To be submitted in Week 7) Continue to enhance your previous work and revise as needed based upon feedback from your mentor. Add the final section
of your proposed research project explaining the data collection process and data analysis. In this section, provide a description of how you propose to
collect data for each variable specified in your hypothesis. The data analysis section is to specify the statistical tests that would be conducted in order to test
the hypothesis and the reasons why the test(s) are the correct ones to be used. This section is to add about 3-4 pages and the page count may NOT include
the required title page, table of contents, and references.
This proposal is not to mention the author, you, in first or third person grammar. Just state the facts. Read research articles that are reports of quantitative
research to see how the authors are not discussed in the text of the report.
