The paper will address the following points (with suggested page length):
- Introduction of the clinical disorder/behavior. (.5 pages)
- Nature and history of the problem and how it is problematic. This will consist of a literature review including 5 references (3 pages)
- A hypothesis of how the behavior may have formed, using the perspective of at least one learning theory. Detail is expected. Use examples such as identifying whether positive or negative reinforcement is involved. (1 page)
- A reasonable intervention, based on a learning theory, on how the behavior can be changed. (1 page)
- Critical assessment of the hypothesis and intervention that you presented. Is learning theory a good explanation? Will your intervention work? Spiritual and practical assessment must be included. (1 page)
