he discovered an email between his wife and a man from her work but
both friends are telling him he should get out of the relationship
because of what his wife did. Client reports that his drinking has
increased over the past couple weeks and that he is utilizing alcohol
as a way to cope with the current problem. He states that he is

husband after he cheated on her. States that his parents are still
married and have always appeared to be happy. States that he does not
have significant issues with his immediate family from when he was a
child.

Client
states that two weeks ago while looking through some emails he found
an email between ‘some guy’ and his wife. States that he immediately
knew that the emails were inappropriate because they discussed
intimate issues between his wife and ‘that guy’. States that he
confronted his wife that evening and his wife denied any such an
issue until client produced the emails. States that since that time
him and his wife have been arguing non-stop. Reports he cannot
believe whether or not the information she is telling him is true and
is worried that the relationship between his wife and ‘that guy’ is
significant. States that he recognizes that his relationship with his
wife has been distant over the past few year but sites issues of work
stress as the cause. States over the past two weeks that he is having
headaches, that he feels sick to his stomach, that he is crying, that
he cannot concentrate, that he is having nightmares and visions of
his wife having sex with ‘that guy’. Reports that he cannot get
thoughts of his wife and ‘that guy’ out of his head. State that this
is distracting him at work and at home. States that he had a
consultation with his pastor but it was not helpful and no matter how
much he prays, he still feels horrible and does not understand why
God would allow something so cruel to happen to him.

Unit 6 Assignment: Elements of an APA Paper

Start
writing your introduction here (1–2 paragraphs). An effective
introduction prepares the reader by identifying the purpose of the
paper and providing the organization of the paper. Please
double-space and remember to indent all paragraphs throughout your
paper (not block form!). Aim to keep your writing objective using 3rd
person (see handout in the Discussion board). Unless required for
the specific assignment, please do not include a Table of Contents,
as it is not APA style. Review paper guidelines on page requirements
and number of sources required (if provided.) Unless citing a
classic work, aim to cite research articles and texts published
within the past 5 years. Please use headings throughout your paper
that are consistent with the paper’s scoring guide (that way you
ensure you are adequately addressing all required areas.)

When
you finish writing your paper, re-read it to check for errors and
make sure your ideas flow well. A helpful tip is to read your paper
aloud to yourself. If it does not sound right to your ear – it is
not working on paper! Please submit your papers to Turnitin (linked
in the course) to check for plagiarism. Also, remember as a Capella
learner you have FREE access through iGuide to personal tutoring
services with Smarthinking.com.
