  • Discuss the philosophical origins of each approach.
  • Identify the goals of each approach.
  • Describe the techniques and strategies used by each approach.
  • Explain how each approach affects the treatment strategies for your selected disorder.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of each approach, in relation to your selected disorder, based on treatment outcome research.

Include speaker notes with your presentation. ***** There will be two submissions – the actual full powerpoint, and another document (NOT necessarily in APA) where all the speaker notes are copied and pasted onto a document.

Incorporate information from at least five peer-reviewed publications.

Cite each outside source on a slide titled References.

Your research may suggest that…, support the hypothesis…, or indicate….; but it does not necessarily prove anything. • Charts and graphs are part of an “A” paper, but are not part of the basic page count of the project. References to outside sources may also part of an A or B level paper. Information should be provided for each section as outlined below. • APA documentation style must be used when citing references in context and bibliography (if any).
