Your take-home exam should consist of four parts:
1. Modifications and adaptations of the counseling method for different cultures.
2. Modifications and adaptations of the counseling method for children, adolescents, and adults.
3. How the counseling approach can be modified to fit managed care restrictions.
4. Recent Research

Summarize two current articles (past 2 years) on your theory.  Your summary of research articles should include what was done to whom and what the outcome was.  Other article summaries should include the main  points such as how to do an intervention and/or the author(s)' thesis idea and supporting ideas.

Your paper should be written in APA style.  Length of the paper should be like a rope--long enough to get the job done.
