You are expected to write an annotated bibliography including at least 10 empirical, peer reviewed
articles on the topic of your choice (within the broad area of clinical psychology, all 10 on the same
topic). This must include a citation in APA style. Then, for each article provide a summary (at least 5
sentences) and an evaluation/critique of the article (at least 2 sentence).
Empirical means that data was
collected and analyzed, so be sure you are discussing the results and what the researchers found.
If there is not a RESULTS section for you to discuss, don’t use that article! It will NOT count
and you will automatically lose 10 points.
Helpful hint. When I say critique, don’t tell me you liked/didn’t like the article. I want you to
evaluate the strengths/weaknesses of the study. What did it do well? What could it have
improved? Also, don’t include book chapters – I know you didn’t go to the library and copy the
pages, so don’t pretend you did! This is also a hint that you definitely shouldn’t include a whole
book…
