Provide a roadmap or outlinefor the remainder of the capstone.You must clearly articulate in Chapter 1 why the research problem(s) you are exploring hasutility and applicability within the field of counselling, psychotherapy, or areas relating totherapeutic community work. Regardless of the methodology employed, the practical therapeuticusefulness of students studies must be outlined. The expectation is that critical thinking will beemployed in reviewing the literature, and, where appropriate, offering alternative solutions andprogram designs.Chapter 2: Literature ReviewA review of literature relevant to your question or problem is an integral component ofyour project. In this second chapter, you will present your literature review of the topic underinvestigation. This paper will form Chapter 2.

You will also comment onlimitations or constraints you have noted, and from this, will propose alternative action. Thismay include a proposal for future research, or a revisioned program design, social policy, ortherapeutic practice. For example, you may propose: 1) A new or different theoretical model, 2)an outline of a framework for a therapeutic/support group, or 3) a framework that may be of useto practitioners working with a specific demographic or within a specific therapeutic setting. Aswith the previous two chapters, Chapter 3 will have a final summary and conclusion.Note: Any reflections of a personal nature are always put in a separate chapter (i.e.,creating a Chapter 4).
