You should NOT simply summarize the readings for a topic,

– but you should critically evaluate the readings based on the Blackboard discussions and your readings of the author’s point of view.

– Evaluate the methodology, conclusions, and consistency of the theoretical perspectives and

– explanations of development, and provide alternatives for where a perspective “falls short.”

– Moreover, discuss how the readings might inform clinical practice and research.

– You may not write a thought paper for the session when you are discussion leader.
