Write a theory paper using critical theory with Family life cycle theory

 Identify the above theories and use them as a model for understanding interracial married couples, Examine the theoretical explanation for an issue that has direct implications for the interventions selected for these interracial married couples who are black and Filipino military veterans.

For example, if patriarchy is the cause of violence against women (theory), interventions must ultimately address patriarchy and the status of women in society. An alternative approach to addressing theory is to focus on the theories behind interventions.

For example, if our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world are the theory behind the development of specific help-seeking behaviors, then an intervention that targets changing beliefs (e.g., cognitive processing therapy) makes sense.

Criteria of evaluation:

1) Introduction: A brief statement about the focus and purpose of the paper. The

introduction should give your reader an understanding of the theory you will focus on

and the level of social work intervention you will address. (1/2 page)

2) Your theory section needs to link to the underlying causes of the issue of concern.

Discuss the extent to which the theoretical perspectives are linked to any interventions

you discovered in your literature search.

3) Literature review: Review the research and writing about the theory from the scholarly

literature. Address the history of social work’s role with this issue and the social and

interpersonal factors that contribute to it. Summarize the state-of-the-art interventions.

Address any applicable explanatory theory and models of practice (3 pages). If you are

addressing a theory identified in an underrepresented population, it is possible there is

no great theory or model of practice. If that is the case, address this limitation and give

further explanation when discussing gaps in the literature.

4) Critique: Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the state-of-the-art practice with this

dimension of the theory. Address gaps in services, inadequacies of programs,

problematic policies, and so on. (2 page)

5) Future directions for social work: Propose ways to strengthen what already exists and

new methods of alleviating the problem. Be concrete about what you, as a future social

work leader, would do to improve on the current state of the art. (2 pages)

6) Conclusion: Summarize the findings of your paper. What are your final thoughts on the

dimension of trauma and current social work practice? How might your critique

strengthen the role of social workers in this area? (1/2 page)

The content of this paper will be used in writing the final paper. The criteria of evaluation in

terms of presentation will be the length, APA style, and the uniformity of presentation, in addition

to the organization of the paper (titles, subtitles, etc.).

● No abstract needed

● Follow APA 7th edition formatting guidelines
