The paper must be written and formatted in the correct APA 7 style. This includes font, margins, spacing, capitalization, indentation, page numbers, headers, citations, references, and properly removing the extra space between paragraphs inserted by Microsoft Word and other programs.

Please note that this paper covers a major theory, not schools of thought. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, for instance, is a school of thought. Cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral modification, and rational emotive behavior therapy are theories within that school of thought.

– All references should be text.

Finally, please remember that this is primarily a research paper. In the counseling profession, research papers follow APA 7 format. The APA manual contains detailed information for proper formatting, so please read it carefully. In the two theory sections, virtually every sentence should have a supporting citation. Paraphrases and summarizations, rather than direct quotes, should be the norm.
