Write a paper that integrates that person’s experience with the empirical research literature on child abuse.

Write a paper that integrates that person’s experience with the empirical research literature on child abuse. Similarly, if you choose a film on autism spectrum disorder (such as “Rainman”), you might provide details on the accuracy of the depiction, the risk and protective factors related to the disorder, and the expected outcome for the character in the film.

You should not merely regurgitate the information from the memoir or film, but rather, use that person’s or character’s experience to integrate your knowledge of the relevant research literature. If relevant, you might want to consider addressing the following types of questions in your paper: What psychopathology (if any) was evident? Give specific examples (if relevant) of the symptoms of psychopathology (whether in the child or his/her parents). What risk factors were part of the person’s experience? What protective factors came into play? What therapeutic orientation was used, if therapy was conducted?

The paper should be detailed enough to show a thorough grasp of the subject at hand. In most cases, the paper should be approximately 8-10 pages, plus a Reference page with at least five (5) journal or book references. Information from legitimate, official websites is allowed, but will not be counted toward the minimum number of references. Early and on-time papers will be greeted with a smile.
