Assignment: To prepare:
1. Recall the client from the case study you have been using in this course. You will apply your research for this Discussion to that client.
2. Select one therapy from the following: cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or reality therapy.
3. Conduct a search in the Walden Library for one peer-reviewed research study about the effectiveness of the therapy you selected.
• Note: You must select a study that has not already been used by a colleague in the Discussion. Each student is required to identify a unique research study.
4. Remember when looking for studies to take into account your client's age and developmental stage and presenting problem.
Post: • Provide the reference for the study you found using APA guidelines.
• Briefly paraphrase, in 2 to 3 sentences, the methodological context (i.e., research method, how data was collected, and the instruments used) of the study and the findings.
• Evaluate the findings in terms of its applicability or appropriateness for the client in your case study.
• Determine whether you would use or not use the therapy you selected for the client in your selected case study (consider how culturally relevant it is, how aligned it is with social work ethics, etc.) and explain why.
Respond to two colleagues who selected a case study different from yours:
• Compare and contrast the article you selected with your colleague's article in terms of how they might inform appropriateness for use with the identified client.
• Explain how reviewing the different studies presented in this Discussion influenced your decision about whether you would use the therapy, given various evidence for the different treatment modalities.
