Assignment 2 (20%)Treatment Effectiveness Research in Abnormal Psychology The purpose of this assignment is to use empirical (research studies) literature to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific treatment for a particular mental disorder. You should pose a specific statement that you are examining in your paper (i.e., hypothesis), and using empirical papers from peer-reviewed journals, your essay should attempt to support or oppose the hypothesis. You may choose something different, but to ensure your topic is appropriate or possible, you should discuss the new topic with the instructor and get some feedback prior to beginning the writing process.It is required that you use 5 quantitative, empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals as your sources of information. Empirical articles are original research studies where data was collected from a sample of participants. These are original sources that do not review articles or describe other people’s work. You may use more than 5 empirical articles, but ensure you include enough information about each study to describe the research in reaching your conclusions (e.g., relevant information from the method and results section of the article to understand the study’s conclusions). Your essay should (1) briefly introduce the topic, (2) review the quantitative, empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals, and (3) provide an overall conclusion that summarizes and critiques the research articles. The essay should not exceed 6 pages (not including title page and reference list; hence, maximum 8 pages). For each research study/article, you should summarize key points of each article, which include:• purpose of the article (specific research question or hypothesis)• brief summary of the sample and methods (including variables and how they are measured)• description of the specific results• overall conclusion• any limitations and strengths of the study (regarding findings and/or method used)Important to Note• APA formatting is mandatory (typewritten, double-spaced, 12 pt font, one-inch margins):o Title page, page headers, and page numbering o Reference citations in the essay and full reference list Sample Topics: These are sample options for you to choose from, but these are not exhaustive.• Exposure and ritual prevention therapy and obsessive-compulsive disorder• Prolonged exposure therapy for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)• Cognitive behavioral therapy and bulimia• Panic control treatment (PCT) and panic disorder• Lithium and bipolar disorder type I• Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and depression• Sensate focus and orgasmic disorder• Dialectical behaviour therapy and borderline personality disorder• Relapse prevention with specific substance abuse disorders• Specific behavioural/conditioning therapies with specific paraphilias
