Article Reviews Instructions

 Each Journal Article Summary must be 3–5 double-spacedpages (not including
the title and reference pages) and created in a Microsoft Word document.
Use the following guidelines to create your paper:

1. 
Start your paper with a title page, correctly
formatted per current APA. Use the provided template and the basic current APA
components will be in place. Divide your paper into sections with the following
Level One headings: Summary, Reflection, and Applicationas described on the template.

2. 
Develop a summary (40 points)  of the main
concepts from the article. Do not duplicate the article’s abstract. If
the article describes a research study, include brief statements about the
hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, and implications. If any test measures or statistical methods used
are given in the article, do not
provide detailed descriptions of these. Short direct quotations
from the article are acceptable, but avoid long quotes in a paper this size.
This section is the foundation of your Journal Article Review (at least a third
of your paper). Make sure you include the core points from the article, even if
it means a longer section. Do not
reference any additional articles in your summary.

3. 
In approximately 1 page, reflect (15 points)on
the article using your own words. Appropriate comments for this part of the
paper could include, but are not limited to, your initial response to the
article, comments regarding the study’s design or methodology (if any),
insights you gained from reading the article, your reasons for being interested
in this particular article, any other readings that you may plan to do based
upon having read the article, and other thoughts you have that might further
enhance the discussion of your article. Your subjective comments in this
section must be clearly tied to main points from the article, not peripheral
ideas. Again, do not reference any other article.

4. 
In your final section, in approximately 1 page,
write how you would apply the
information you have learned from this article to a particular counseling
setting. Make this setting one that would typically be seen in human services
counseling—community services agencies, adoption agencies, volunteer counseling
settings such as in churches, etc. Develop this section as if you are a pastor
or clinician and your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem—grief,
depression, substance abuse, relationships problems, etc.— needing your help.
Adequately describe the counseling scenario including the presenting problem. Draw
out concepts from the article and apply them to the scenario as if you were guided
only by the content of the article.
Show the reader how you expressly drew from the journal article in this
application section and cite correctly, per APA.

5. 
Use the provided current APA template and
personalize the template for your particular article.

Point values for each section as well as for writing can be
found on the grading rubric. Remember that all papers in the program must be written
to professional (graduate level) standards and writing can contribute 15 points
to your score.
