Literature Review/ Research Report
As counseling professionals, our clinical practice is informed by empirical evidence. Counselors must be not just passive consumers of research, but rather active doers and participants in research. It is therefore important that counselors be well versed in the intricacies of conducting research, as well as be equipped with skills that allow them to be discerning consumers of research.
Purpose: This assignment provides students with an opportunity to understand, critique, and apply research in the counseling profession.
Description: Students will complete a literature review/research report based on a professional counseling-related topic of your choice (to be approved by instructor) and will include the following components: Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Review of current literature, Method, and References. It is also required that you provide a rationale for how your research study might contribute to advancing the counseling profession.
