Essay Instructions: This research is for my dissertation which is an applied study where I'm creating a marriage preparation program for adult children of divorce using Positive Psychology (PP) and Structural Family Therapy (SFT) (sometimes called structural couples therapy).
I need a short (apx 1 paragraph) review of 5-7 studies from psychological journals that show how positive psychology and structural family therapy techniques/interventions support/improve couples attachment, communicate skills, decrease divorce rate etc. I'm hoping for studies that show the effectiveness of Positive Psychology (PP) and structural family therapy (SFT) techniques for couples in romantic relationships or married couples... it would AMAZING if you could find studies that show the effectiveness of one of those therapies for adult children of divorce... Things you can search to find appropriate studies would be:

1. Positive Psychology and adult children of divorce
2. Adult romantic relationships and structural couples therapy or structural family therapy
3. Structural family therapy and married couples
4. Effectiveness of positive psychology methods with adult children of divorce or married couples or couples
5. Positive Psychology interventions/methods/techniques and couples communication/Marriage preparation/Attachment/Marriage enrichment etc.
6. Structural Family Therapy interventions/methods/techniques and couples communication/Marriage preparation/Attachment/Marriage enrichment etc.


Studies that show that couples who are being treated with positive psych interventions or Structural family therapy methods can communicate better, are more bonded, have healthier relationships, have more long term-successful relationships etc. Studies, for example, where communication skills were tested before and after PP and SFT treatment and were improved after treatment OR studies that show a correlation between PP, SFT and couples communication, attachment, divorce, marriage preparation, adult children of divorce, adult romantic relationship.

The reviews MUST include 1. the demographics of the participants 2. whether the study was successful 3. in what way it was successful (i.e they communicated better, they reported feeling closer etc) and 4. what method/theory/technique was used.

Every sentence written has to have a reference from the study. If its an exact quote (don't make them all exact quotes), the reference must have the journal page # and when its in your own words, just the authors last name with the year.

If you are questioning whether the study fit with what I'm asking, please email me and let me know so I can determine whether it will work.

If you have any questions what so ever, please email me, as I know I have very detailed requirements and they are all very important to the satisfaction of the paper.

There are faxes for this order.

Essay Instructions: Hello,

First of all, I request that the SAME author who is going to write the other paper which I have just ordered 5 minutes ago (psychology of religion, the effect of religion/spirituality on health) be the SAME author who writes this paper as well, please.



The general guideline for this paper, which is required for a class in POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, is as follows:


The topic of the term papers will include a chosen character strength or virtue that is defined and presented with five related psychological journal references within the last fifteen years. So, if you choose the strength of Optimism, then you will review the meaning of this construct and related psychological studies exploring the psychological relevance of Optimism. Five pages paper plus a references presented in APA style is required ***PEER REVIEWED."




I have chosen the obvious subject, namely OPTIMISM. I don't have much of a take on the subject; I leave it up to you.



Thanks.
