Book Report Of Psychology (Any One Book)
Your book report must be a minimum of three pages double spaced typewritten to a maximum of five pages double spaced typewritten.
Your book report must follow these strict guidelines to receive the highest possible grade. Failure to comply with any of the following will result in a loss of points.
In the first part of the book report, you should give a summary of the book. This summary should contain information about the problem(s) that the book addresses. It should discuss the underlying etiology (causes) of the problem or illness. In addition, it should mention the author’s approach to addressing the problem such as a behavioral, psychoanalytic, humanistic, cognitive, or epigenetic approach. Furthermore, if the author uses a combination of approaches such as humanistic and behavioral, then you should indicate that in your summary. In addition, for the problem which the book addresses, what is the prognosis. For example, if the book is about depression, what is the prognosis for those who are depressed. What is the recommended method of treatment? How long does it take for the symptoms to abate? Also, what kinds of psychologists seem to be best equipped to deal with this problem/illness? You could respond to this by indicating clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, organizational psychologists, educational psychologists, or school psychologists.
