The journal entry should include:
An explanation on where you (as the theorist) feel psychological distress or mental illness derives from.
An explanation for how or what led you to develop the theory that you developed. (It is acceptable for this section to be speculative.)

Identify the proper course of action to help those in psychological distress find relief according to your theoretical background.
Your journal entry should be at least one full page and no more than two full pages. Please include a reference section that is in proper APA format (7th edition).
