RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES
Write a research paper of 10 pages of body text (not counting your title page, abstract, and works cited pages) discussing in current APA format some major aspect of spirituality/Christianity and some aspect of PTSD. Please don’t provide just a secular viewpoint or just a spiritual perspective. Integrate them using journal articles or book chapters on the topics as sources. Cite everything. Balance the paper with both a biblical worldview and theoretical perspectives.
There is much flexibility in this paper. Choose one of the options.
1. Choose a particular PTSD symptom or symptom cluster (re-experiencing, avoidance/numbing, hyperarousal) or PTSD and one co-morbid aspect (substance abuse, suicide, etc.). Use current research, and the Bible to support your discussion.
The two options are similar with the exception that one is a general approach and the other applies your examination to a specific area.
Length of paper: 10-12 pages Points will be deducted if the paper is below 10 pages or exceeds 12 pages. (excluding title page, abstract, and references.)
Include at least 10 current references (within the last 8 years) points deducted for each missing current reference.
