Our text states: “When there are gaps between what our clients need and what we are able to provide them, an idea for research is born”. What counseling issues interest you? What presenting problems do you believe call for a more effective intervention? Identify the gap between the needs of a particular client type and the treatments available. Based on this, decide upon a research area relating to the field of mental health, in general, or counseling/mental health counseling, in particular (Abuse, Addictions, AIDS, Anger, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Problems, Communication/Assertion Skills Communication in Sexual Behavior, Depression, Disabilities, Diversity, Drugs,| Eating Disorder, Grief, Military/Veterans, Relationships, Relaxation and Stress, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, Sleep, Suicide, Trauma, Other).that you would like to investigate. **The outline should be set up as a standard type of outline. (Feel free to Google an outline) **Bibliography -Visit the ACA website at www.counseling.org. What is the flagship journal of ACA? List the titles of 15 recent (within the past 5 years) articles from that publication that support your research topic. Investigate the articles from your list. For each article – what was/were the research question(s) directing the study? What were the hypotheses (if applicable)? How did the researcher(s) conduct sampling? How did the study address generalizability? **Research Question(s) and Hypotheses (50 pts) You have identified an area of interest or a research problem. Using the examples provided in your text, develop a corresponding research question and one or more hypotheses for the identified research problem. ***Research Paper (100 pts) – You will write an 8 page research paper on the topic you selected. Papers must conform to the following guidelines (APA Guidelines): • 1-inch margins on all four sides of paper • Times New Roman font • 12-point character size • Double-spaced • Title and reference pages do not count as part of the 8 pages (the actual number of pages will be approximately 10-12 pages

Mike the Headless Chicken, also known as “Miracle Mike,” was a real chicken that lived in the 1940s. The story goes that on September 10, 1945, a farmer named Lloyd Olsen beheaded Mike, intending to prepare him for dinner. However, much to Olsen’s surprise, Mike survived the beheading and continued to live for several weeks. Mike became a sensation, touring with sideshows and attracting attention from scientists and curious onlookers. He lived for 18 months without a head before eventually choking to death in a motel in Arizona in March 1947.
