Lin Article Critique: Part 2 Dustin T. Rheel Liberty University Counseling 503, D22 Professor Carlene Taylor November 25, 2012 Critique of Population and Sampling In the Lin, Mack, Enright, Krahn, and Baskin article (2004) article, they sampled forty-three participants from various drug rehabilitation centers. These participants were suffering from alcohol and other drug dependences. Some of the participants were referred by the therapist and then the suggested participants then had the option to participate or not, thus making the sample used not random. Even though the sample was not random, they were randomly selected to be in one of 2 groups, Forgiveness Therapy (FT) or Alcohol and Drug Counseling (ADC) (Lin et al., 2004).
By examining previous information on studies about multiple sclerosis, the author then continued to use the information as building blocks for his research and why it would be important to further study the areas he is inquiring about. The author uses a reference to establish the amount of people living with this phenomenon and then continues to cite information on how the variety of the disease affects different people saying why and how the experiment would be important. An overwhelming majority of the author’s references were older than five years (Approximately 22 of 23). The author did inform the reader about the limitations of the study by stating “candidates for this study were recruited by open recruitment to respect the free will of patients in participating,” while also informing how future studies could be done to help remedy these practices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients manage the disorder by replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342).
Exercise Exercise as a Successful Treatment for Depression LIB100, Write Your Class Section Here Student’s Name Professor Kahn Summer 2011 Topic: Exercise as a Successful Treatment for Depression Thesis statement: Moderately strenuous exercise performed three times a week for forty-five minutes to an hour can relieve moderate depression. Similarly, moderately strenuous exercise performed for thirty minutes three to five times a week may help relieve severe depression. Search strategy and evaluation of resources: I began my research about treating depression through the use of exercise by performing a keyword search for the words depression exercise in the Gale Virtual Reference Library which I accessed through the ASA Library Dabases and eBooks.

Something that surprised me is that both of Gawande’s article connect. For example, in “Slow Ideas” he writes that a simple solution of sugar, salt, and water could eliminate cholera in Dhaka, but the solution wasn’t popular, many didn’t use it and people still died. Then, in “Big Med” Gawande writes that doctors know a solution for migraines, but doctors don’t use it or tell their patients about it. Here are ideas that could help people have a better living yet they are slow in being

The results suggested that students taking
