The Impact of Divorce on Adolescents

No section heading needed for the introduction beyond the title of the paper, then you begin the introduction here. If an in-text citation has one author you put their last name and the year of publication, here is an example of this (Luna, 2020). For two authors, a parenthetical citation looks like this (Salas & Marie, 2020), and this is what you use when there are three or more authors (Strauss et al., 2020). If you are citing a group, such as the American Counseling Association, you would cite like this the first time (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014), and like this for the rest of the paper (ACA, 2014). Please note there is only one space after each period when a sentence is finished. The divorce rate in the United States remains at an all-time high. From the perspective of your specific discipline, write a 1,000-1,250-word essay discussing the socioemotional response of adolescents to divorce and custody arrangements.

Include a thesis statement at the end of the introduction which includes the sections that will be covered in this paper. For example, “This analysis will provide a discussion of how a counselor can provide support for families and individuals affected by divorce. Strategies for promoting an adolescent’s optimal social emotional development will be provided, while considering cultural and ethical factors….”
