related to traumatic eventsIn recent years, psychologists have become more proactive when
it comes to addressing issues related to traumatic events. Psychological debriefings and
critical incident stress debriefings are being provided to individuals and groups in the hopes
of averting more serious mental health issues (acute stress disorder and post traumatic
stress disorders). While these services have been widely implemented, it is only recently
that researchers have come to question their effectiveness. For this paper, locate two
journal articles that address the effectiveness of psychological debriefings and/or critical
incident stress debriefings. Write a 3-4 page paper, in which you include the information
listed below. The paper is to be done in APA style with a title page and reference
section.Identify the journal articles with the appropriate headingsSummarize each article
and research findingsAre the research findings in agreement with each other, or did the
findings vary? If they varied, why might the research come up with differing
results?Conclude with a paragraph or two sharing your thoughts about psychological
debriefings and critical incident stress debriefings based on the information you reviewed.
Do you believe these services should be routinely provided, should they only be provided in
certain situations, or should they only be provided with certain individuals?ORDER NOW
FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
2. use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
