I’m supposed to write a literary essay that is 1250 words minimum about a short story. Using elements and text from the story. No other resources

Each student will submit two article critiques (see the
course schedule for due dates). The first article must focus on a theoretical
approach to the treatment of addictions (e.g., SBIRT, Motivational
Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapy, Pharmacotherapy,
12-Step Facilitation, etc.).  The second
critique must be an empirical study (e.g., primary study,
meta-analysis) that focuses on the effectiveness of treatment of addiction using
one of the evidenced based treatments above or in your textbook. The articles must come from professional
journals. The critiques should be four pages in length (double
spaced). The formats for the two article critiques are below.
B.   
Empirical Article (100
Points)
1.    
Include the reference in APA format
2.    
Summarize the article.
a.     
Purpose
b.

c.     
Results
d.    
Conclusions/Recommendations
3.

of the study.
4.    
Clinical application – Explain how you
plan to use what you have learned in your future counseling career.
***I only need the Empirical Study Critique, not the theoretical critique.

Write about any non-normative life events you or someone close to you has experienced. What happened? How did you react? What visible effect has the event had on your behavior since it occurred? Why do you think it has affected your development in this way? Can you imagine what your personality and life might be like had you not had this particular experience?

Please tell me your thoughts about the questions below:
What are your thoughts on breastfeeding in general and when women breastfeed in public?
Do you think there is an age when it is no longer appropriate for a child to be breastfed?
If breastfeeding is so beneficial, then why do many Americans have such strong reactions to a photo of a toddler breastfeeding?
Is there a point after which breastfeeding feels “unacceptable” in Western society? Why?
Does our view of the breast as a sex object cloud the issue at all, and how does the father figure into the issue of whether breastfeeding should continue long term?

my assignment is on The effects of breakfast on behavior and
academic performance in children and adolescents
I must include a correlation chart with numbers from hypnotical
research

For this brief written assignment, you will be researching a single disorder, including its history across the multiple iterations of the DSM and current directions in research and treatment of that particular disorder. The purpose of this assignment is to gain greater familiarity with the conceptualization and classification of psychological disorders and to understand the socially constructed and evolving nature of diagnostic categories. To get started, select one of the following disorders to research: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Bipolar Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
Dissociative Identity Disorder
Gender Dysphoria
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Paraphilic Disorders (select one specific disorder and discuss the evolution of the category broadly)
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia
Sexual Dysfunctions (select one)
Substance Use Disorder
Section One: Current Diagnostic Criteria
For the first section of your assignment, introduce your chosen disorder and describe (do not simply list) the current DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for the disorder you selected. Comment upon criteria that may be controversial or that may overlap with another disorder (i.e., differential diagnosis). TIP: Access the full DSM-5 online through the ASU Libraries here:
https://dsm-psychiatryonline-org.ezproxy1.lib.asu.edu/doi/epdf/10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596 (after the page loads, click the gray ‘OPEN’ button)
Section Two: History Our understanding of, and the criteria for, each of the disorders listed above have undergone significant revision over the past few decades. Using resources available to you through the ASU Libraries (e.g., current and past editions of the DSM, scholarly journal articles, credible websites), research how the criteria for the disorder you selected has evolved over time. In this second section of your write-up, summarize the following:
when the disorder was first introduced within the DSM classification system (some may have been labeled with a different name altogether)
changes in diagnostic criteria across versions of the DSM based on new knowledge and cultural norms
any notable controversies over the diagnostic criteria or the diagnosis itself Section Three: Current Directions in Research and Treatment
In the third section of your write-up, retrieve and discuss at least one peer-reviewed journal article published within the last five years that makes a significant contribution to how we understand the disorder, its diagnosis, or its treatment.
For example, the article might be a recent study that elucidates our understanding of the disorder’s causes or characteristics, it may be an article proposing a new instrument (questionnaire or otherwise) to test someone for the disorder, or it may be a report on a new treatment or evaluation of an existing treatment. Peruse several studies before selecting one to discuss that seems truly significant, even groundbreaking. Tip: For a primer (or refresher) on peer-reviewed journal articles, see the following video clip and ASU Libraries tutorial. Reference librarians are invaluable resources as well; do not be afraid to ask for assistance! What is a Scholarly Journal Article?

Section Four: Conclusion
Conclude your write-up by briefly highlighting the key points of the preceding sections, summarizing the history and current status of the disorder along with recent developments found in the literature.
Formatting
The body of your paper (excluding references) should be very brief, approximately 2 to 4 pages double-spaced. For each of the sections described below, you may choose to include headings if you wish. Cite all sources and format your paper according to APA guidelines. A cover page and abstract are NOT required for this brief assignment, but you are expected to adhere to APA formatting with regard to margins, typeface, spacing, and in-text citations. Also include a properly formatted References page. For assistance with formatting, refer to the POWC Writing Center, OWL Guide website, and/or the most current APA Publication Manual (6th ed.)

Annotated Bibliography-Due Sunday of week 2
In preparation for your final project, it will be important that you locate a number of scholarly sources on child development. You should try to focus these articles on the age range/developmental issues for the child you are going to focus your writing on.
Your graded activity for this week is to create an annotated bibliography where you will locate and summarize 8 scholarly sources related to child development that will help you to prepare for your final project.
What is an annotated bibliography?
It is an organized list of sources (referenced in APA format and alphabetical order), such as books, journals, newspapers, magazines, reputable web pages, etc., each of which is followed by a summary or description of each source.
Annotations may consist of all or part of the following list of items, depending on the purpose of the bibliography:
Describe the content (focus) of the source
Describe the usefulness of the source
Evaluate the reliability of the source
Discuss any conclusions the author(s) may have made
Note key points from the article relevant to your final project
Describe your reaction to the source

Submit summaries of 5 articles and reference page (APA style).
I have provided 5 of 5 articles for you listed below . For each article please list the article name, authors and year of article for each heading.

Imagine you are a forensic psychologist conducting an evaluation of an individual’s competency to stand trial. In your testing battery, you are considering the following tests: California Psychological Inventory, 16 Personality Factors (16PF), Minnesota Multiphasic Inventory- II (MMPI-II), Rorschach Inkblot Test, and the Thematic Apperception Test. Of the tests listed, which would you include? Integrating examples and ideas from your readings and research this week, explain your position. Please provide a rationale as to why you did not select the other three measures; additionally, are there other measurements that might provide additional insight? Please explain.
