The goal of your first assignment is to present a clear research project and should be between 4-5 pages (but not more) in length not including title page, your preliminary source list and references (of the sources you cite within your proposal). HW1 must be submitted as a Word Document Attachment in the Assignments section of the classroom by Sunday, 11:55pm EST at the end of week 2. Assignment Formatting: your assignments should follow the conventions of graduate level writing. This includes having 1 inch margins on all four sides, being double-spaced without an extra space in between paragraphs, using 12 point Times new Roman font, as well as being grammatically free and stylistically free of errors. You should be using the Turabian writing style for this assignment as well as all others within this course. For more information on writing style please review the course overview section of the course. There is no need for fancy cover sheets or pictures inside the document itself. In this assignment you will need to: 1) Present the research problem you intend assess and provide some contextual information that helps demonstrate your understanding of the nature of the problem. 2) Clearly state your SINGLE academically rich research question and hypothesis. 3) The purpose and importance of your research should be made clear. Explain why this is important to investigate as a research project. What can we learn from this event? How will the knowledge we gain through your research help our understanding of the topic? 4) Discuss your theoretical framework and research design you plan to use to answer your research question. This should be done in language common to the social sciences. Heres a hint as a case study you should be discussing how you plan to carry out case study research. Within this discussion the references you used to support your comments should reflect your knowledge of case study methodology, and content analysis including specifics on the application of qualitative or quantitative research. The research proposal that you submit for this class is similar in style to what you would submit as a research proposal for your masters thesis. The specific format to be followed has the following parts. These include: Title and Abstract: Your title should be descriptive enough that it helps readers understand what your research is about. Your abstract should stage for the research topic, explain the method in use, and mention important implications of the study. The abstract should be between 150-250 words in length. Introduction: Identifies students specific research question and sets the general context for the study. This section should include: a statement of the problem or general research question and context leading to a SINGLE clear statement of the specific research question; background and contextual material justifying why this case or topic should be studied; and a purpose statement and hypothesis Literature Review: Reviews the literature on a specific research question. The literature review focuses on discussing how other researchers have addressed the same or similar research questions. It introduces the study and places it in larger context that includes a discussion of why it is important to study this case. It provides the current state of accumulated knowledge as it relates to the students specific research question. Summarize the general state of the literature (cumulative knowledge base) on the specific research question. Include a short conclusion and transition to the next section. Theoretical Framework/Approach: The theoretical framework section develops the theories or models to be used in the study and shows how the student has developed testable research hypotheses. This section should include an introduction discussing gaps in the literature, how this study will help fill some of those gaps, and justification for the theory or model to be used in study; a summary of the theory or model to be used in the study, including a diagram of the model if appropriate Research Design/Methodology: Describes how the student will test the hypothesis and carry out his/her analysis. This section describes the data to be used to test the hypothesis, how the student will operationalize and collect data on his/her variables, and the analytic methods that will be used, noting potential biases and limitations to the research approach. Conclusion: this should be a concluding statement that reiterates the importance of the research question and why it should be carried out. References: as always you need to have a references lists which lists the sources you used within your research proposal in a professional manner. The references list is often what is used to gauge how well researched a project is. On this list we will be able to see if scholarly sources are being consulted or simply just news articles and magazine articles of lesser caliber. You should take pride in this list and show off your hard work in developing your research proposal. Ultimately a research proposal is a pitch to someone about a project that you have confidence can be carried out in the manner specified. Research proposals are often done in professional settings in order to gain a bid on resources such as grant money or other financial backing. For this reason, the information conveyed must not only articulate the you have found a clear research gap or problem that has yet to be adequately addressed, but that you have the capacity to complete the project as specified given the current time available

Clinical Evaluation and Case Conceptualization Use the attached case study and apply Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with the case selected. Write a 11-12 page paper that includes the following two parts. Part 1: Clinical Evaluation This section of the paper (45 pages) should address the following areas: 1. Discuss why Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a good fit for the case. 2. Address the following points using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy as a lens: o How would you assess the clients in the case study? o Who would you meet with and in what sequence? o What assessment methods, formal or informal, would you use to gather information? o What areas would you consider it most important to investigate? o What are the clinical issues that this case presents? o How would the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy clinical approach describe these issues? o How would this clinical issue be viewed historically? o If the contemporary perspective is different, what has influenced the change? o What are the diversity issues that are relevant to this case? o What aspects of diversity would you need to know more about in order to understand the context of these clients? o Are there ethical, legal, or crisis issues in this case you would need to attend to? o Are there issues brought up by this case that would require you to research the clinical literature to expand your knowledge, or seek supervision to cope with areas of discomfort or bias? o What kind of supervision would you need when working with this case in order to stay within your scope of competent practice? 3. Evaluate the need for referral to community resources. What options for these resources exist in your own Florida community? Be specific. Part 2: Case Conceptualization Based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and case study from Part 1 of this assignment, consider these questions: 1. What would the clinical goals be with these clients? 2. How would the goals be formulated in accordance with the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy clinical approach? To answer these questions, complete the following in Part 2 of the paper (68 pages): Using the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy theory, develop a basic, systemically-based treatment plan for use with these clients. One option would be to choose at least one short-term, medium-term, and long-term goal that is targeted at the whole system or chosen sub-systems, depending on the case, then identify specific interventions from the theory that you will use to achieve each goal. However, your treatment plan should be driven by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Remember, interventions are therapist actions which encourage, invite, or support change. o You may find that the nature of the case suggests interventions that do not fit with your chosen theoryfor example, psycho education about birth control options, when you are using Bowen family therapy. You may include these in your treatment plan as long as you articulate a clinically sound rationale for doing so, grounded in professional literature. Discuss how the application of your treatment takes into account the diversity issues relevant to this case. How might SFBT theory or interventions need to be adapted to be culturally sensitive? Discuss how your own identitiesbeing a male, African American, 30 years old, with a Christian belief, may impact the work with these clients.
