Bipolar Disorder
Family Functioning among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder
Assignment Instructions
For this assignment you will select evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal articles focusing on a psychology topic associated with a classmate’s peer-reviewed article summary of your choice posted on the Week 2 discussion board ( THIS IS WHAT I POSTED IN WEEK 2 Family Functioning among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder )…This topic will also be the focus of your Literature Review paper, so the more though you are writing the annotated bibliography, the less work you’ll have to do in week seven.
The annotated bibliography must be completed using 6 peer reviewed articles from the APUS Online Library. The articles must come from the APUS library and be no more than 10 years old (so only articles published between 2006-2016 are acceptable). The articles must come from psychology journals, so don’t use articles that are from other professions such as medicine, law, business, or other professions even if they do come from the APUS library. They can not be articles that solely summarize other researchers’ work like a book report or summary/collection of previous studies. They need to be an actual experiment. An experiment typically has the sub-headings “method”; “participants”; “analysis”, and “results” so if you want to use an article that does not have those sub-headings, it could be a flag that you are not choosing an experiment. If you’re not sure if an article you want to use meets that criteria, just send me a message with a DOI or link to the article and I’ll be very glad to advise.
Since the unit 7 final paper needs to be a very narrow, specific aspect of a topic, you will save yourself time if you choose articles for the annotated bibliography that are tightly connected to the topic.
Here is a wonderful excerpt from the website that succinctly explains and describes what an annotated bibliography should include: http://lib.calpoly.edu/support/how-to/write-an-annotated-bibliography/
“Purpose:
The purpose of the annotation is to help the reader evaluate whether the work cited is relevant to a specific research topic or line of inquiry.
Annotations versus abstracts
Abstracts
Abstracts are brief statements that present the main points of the original work. They normally do not include an evaluation of the work itself.
Annotations
Annotations could be descriptive or evaluative, or a combination of both. A descriptive annotation summarizes the scope and content of a work whereas an evaluative annotation provides critical comment.
What the annotation includes
Generally, annotations should be about 150 words (or 4 sentences long). They should be concise and well-written. Depending on your assignment, annotations may include some or all of the following information:
Main focus or purpose of the work
Intended audience for the work
Usefulness or relevance to your research topic (or why it did not meet your expectations)
Special features of the work that were unique or helpful
Background and credibility of the author
Conclusions or observations reached by the author
Conclusions or observations reached by you”

Now that you have a better idea about what to include in the annotated bibliography assignment, take a look this sample annotated bibliography in order to get a feel for what each of your entries should look like. In the sample, the entry is from a book so when you use a journal article don’t forget to include the DOI using the rules of APA formatting.
An annotated bibliography is an APA formatted list of all the published sources used for an assignment with the word “References” centered at the top of the page. The term “Annotated” indicates that each article used must include directly below its title a brief paragraph 4 sentences in length describing what the particular article covers. These paragraphs must be written in the student’s own words. Copying is forbidden and quoting isn’t needed or accepted for this assignment. The assignment must be completed per the course general writing standards. All submissions will be run through Turnitin.com, a plagiarism checker. The assignment folder will close at 11:55 pm ET on Sunday. If you attempt to submit your paper and are “locked out”, please send me a message and I will unlock the folder so you can submit it, but a 10% late penalty will apply (10% per week, in case you are especially late).
During week two, an announcement titled “how to write an annotated bibliography” will be posted on the main announcement page. If you’re not familiar with how to write an annotated biblio, PLEASE take a peek. It could save you hours of effort and the heartache of a lower than expected grade!
After the completion of the Annotated Bibliography assignment you will have the foundation for your Literature Review reference list. At the time the paper is completed, you need but remove the paragraphs from below the Annotated Bibliography publication titles and what remains will be a list of the sources used for your paper suitable for immediate attachment to your Literature Review paper if you already double spaced and arranged the titles per APA standards. If you’re not sure how to use APA formatting, please see the post on the main announcement board, refer to the required book “APA Publication Manual”, or visit the APU library for other resources and examples.

Family Functioning Among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder
Young, M. E., Galvan, T., Reidy, B. L., Pescosolido, M. F., Kim, K. L., Seymour, K., & Dickstein, D. P. (2013). Family functioning deficits in bipolar disorder and ADHD in youth. Journal of affective disorders, 150(3), 1096-1102.
There is a greater rise in analysis and treatment of bipolar disease and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among youths. In the article, research is done to help in addressing the issue of both diseases and family functioning is the way since the conditions are related to the family deficit. Using a method of Family Assessment Device (FAD), youths get chosen in groups of BD=30, ADHD=36, and TDC=41. In the status of IQ and socioeconomic, TDC (typically developing control) group scored high compared to others, and this may be relevant in applying the models for treatment of the conditions.
The article is useful in helping one to distinguish family performance deficits of both groups of clinical from that of TDC and assist in solving the dysfunction of bipolar disorder. The author is credible, and the information provided is up to date (2013).
Keenan-Miller, D., Peris, T., Axelson, D., Kowatch, R. A., & Miklowitz, D. J. (2012). Family functioning, social impairment, and symptoms among adolescents with bipolar disorder. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 51(10), 1085-1094.
Adolescents with bipolar disorder are at risk of impaired social functioning which emerges and persists for an extended time. In early inception of bipolar disorder, there is little that get known on factors related to poor peer and functioning of a family. In the article, the authors use a sample with BD I or II to investigate some nonspecific symptoms such as inattention or depression that get related to family functioning and quality of peer relation. The results indicated that depression was associated with low child rating of family functioning while aggression was due to the poor family functioning and none get related to peer functioning.
The authors are credible, and the information is brilliant in showing us how aggression is the strongest correlation of bipolar disorder in family operation and how it can be addressed.
Schudlich, T. D. D. R., Youngstrom, E. A., Calabrese, J. R., & Findling, R. L. (2008). The role of family is functioning in bipolar disorder in families. Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 36(6), 849-863.
The authors in the article investigate on the interrelation between family functioning and conflicts and the link of parent’s mood disorder and the risk of children with the bipolar disorder. In use of a semi-structured interview, 272 families were selected that had a child of age 5-17. A small indirect pathway from diagnosis of hereditary mood disorder to child disorder got indicated through family functioning that was impaired and increased family conflict.
The article is appropriate for use, and the information is up to date (2008) in showing how parental mood is related to adverse outcome in children such as defiant disorder and unipolar disorder which adjust depending on youth. The authors are holders of the master in psychology and thus they are credible.
Freed, R. D., Tompson, M. C., Wang, C. H., Otto, M. W., Hirshfeld-Becker, D. R., Nierenberg, A. A., & Henin, A. (2015). Family functioning in the context of parental bipolar disorder: Associations with offspring age, sex, and psychopathology. Journal of Family Psychology, 29(1), 108.
Families with bipolar disorder may experience difficulty in family functioning and this article it examines the association between psychopathology and family functioning such as cohesion and conflict. It uses 117 offspring aged 5-18 with BD and further examines whether age and sex differences did moderate the association. Results showed that high family conflict and little cohesion led to high symptoms of internalizing and externalizing in younger males. Little family cohesion resulted in mood disorder in children and was stronger to young children than older.
The article is informative in giving us the significance of family functioning when working with offspring at risk of disorder of bipolar which differ on sex and developmental stage of an infant. The source is of late (2015), and the authors are credible.
Sullivan, A. E., & Miklowitz, D. J. (2010). Family functioning among adolescents with bipolar disorder. Journal of Family Psychology, 24(1), 60.
In the article, David and Miklowitz show us how highly recurrent and debilitating the disease of bipolar is. They explore the developmental pathways in which attitudes of EE originates and predict on the relapse of the disorder. During post episode period, EE levels get correlated with attribution of the disease of caregivers and bidirectional patterns of communication between the caregiver and the youth with the disease. The article is useful for use in demonstrating how the amalgamation of therapy of family-focused and pharmacotherapy delays relapse and reduced sternness among patients within 1-2 years.
The journal article is incredibly general, helping one to see all sides of the bipolar disease through the role of the family and how to treat it, thus the article was credible.
Sheets, E. S., & Miller, I. W. (2010). Predictors of relationship functioning for patients with bipolar disorder and their partners. Journal of Family Psychology, 24(4), 371.
Sheets and Miller examines the aspects that manipulate relation performance on patients with bipolar disorder. They took 56 patients with bipolar disorders, and their associates get reviewed in the pathology of Axis II and general family functioning. The experiment showed that the depressive symptomatology was related to the general operation and functioning of the couple. The authors are credible, and the information is great to use in highlighting the significance of mood and personality pathology to relation operation and also in identifying the effect of personality pathology on patient and partner.
