Divide your summary into sections with the following Level
Oneheadings: Summary, Interaction, and Application(review
the current APA Manual for guidance on levels of
headings if needed).
2. Develop a summaryof the main concepts from
the article. Do not duplicate the article’s abstract. If the article
describes a research study, include brief statements about the hypotheses,
methods, results, discussion, and implications. If any test measures or
statistical methods used are given in the article, do not provide
detailed descriptions of these. Short direct quotations from the article
are acceptable, but avoid long quotations in a paper this size. This
section is the foundation of your Journal Article Review (at least a third of
your paper). Make sure that you include the core points from the
article, even if it means a longer section. Do not reference any
additional articles in your summary.
3. In your own words, interact (in approximately 1 page) with the
article. Appropriate comments for this part of the
paper should include, but are not limited to: your initial
response to the article, comments regarding the study’s design or methodology
(if any), insights you gained from reading the article, your reasons for being
interested in this particular article, any other readings that you may plan to
do based upon having read the article, and other thoughts you have that might
further enhance the discussion of your article. Your subjective comments
in this section must be clearly tied to main points from the article,
not peripheral ideas. Again, do not reference any other article.
4. In your final section (in
approximately 1 page) write how you would apply the
information you have learned from this article to a
particular counseling situation. This could be in a church or
clinical session. Develop this section as if you are a pastor or clinician and
your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem—grief, depression,
substance abuse, infidelity, etc.—and is needing your help.Adequately
describe the counseling scenario, including the presenting
problem. Draw out concepts from the article and apply the
concepts to the scenario as if you were guided only by
the content of the article. Show the reader how you are expressly drawing from
the journal article in this application section; be sure to cite
correctly in current APAformat.
5. Provide the complete citation for the article being summarized on a
reference page in current APA format
