My question for this paper ….
“What is the impact of parental substance use on children?”

  1. Frame a question you have about a clinical issue/dilemma related to severe mental illness.
  2. Use your question as the title of the paper.
  3. Read at least four articles related to the question. Include at least one article that attends to social/environmental perspectives on your topic and one that relates to research.
  4. Write a paper that addresses the question and include your thoughts, opinions and ideas and how it is relevant to the work you do or anticipate doing in the field. In other words, I don’t just want a research paper, I want your perspective in the paper too, as well as the clinical applicability of what you learned.
  5. Please use sub-headings to clarify which of the three areas you are addressing. Use the first 3 pages to summarize the findings from your research and use proper citations. The next 2 pages should be your personal reflections on the issue and the research and the last 3 pages should discuss the clinical implications for your work. Give specific examples of how you might have integrated this knowledge with clients you have seen or anticipate seeing.
