What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Reflective Analysis of a Fathers Nurturing Program Group Session

The group that I observed was one that was run by Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, (S.L.A.A.). I participated in it as auxiliary observer. The groups taught me that All activities should be focused on the client him or herself and on treating this client as central rather than as instrument or peripheral to the process. The process should be catered around the client and the facilitator should (as Shulman (2005)) suggests be constantly attuned to eh client's needs. The first group was more sensitive to the client, but its lack of facilitator indicated to me the anarchy that can result when so skilled professional takes the helm. The two groups were almost totally polarized to one another in that the first too closely conformed to structure whilst the second transgressed it at its volition. Facilitators are needed, but the format needs to more flexible paying greater attention to client than to rules.

Effective PTSD Treatment: Pharmacotherapy and Psychotherapy

Two authoritative sources were reviewed on the topic of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One source was a textbook authored by numerous experts and provided details of their clinical experiences treating PTSD in conjunction with their knowledge of relevant empirical research. That source also covered the full range of treatments available. The second source was a literature review detailing the relative effectiveness of different selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the treatment of PTSD. That source was limited in scope to one class of pharmacotherapy but still identified an important gap in the empirical literature currently available: namely, the absence of studies considering the relative effectiveness of combined modalities in treating PTSD. It also concluded that SSRI-based treatments are more effective in the long term than when limited to the shorter term.
