Direct Quotes Versus Paraphrasing

Posted Mar 5, 2024 5:10 AM

Most of you use multiple direct quotes from a source you find. However, utilizing multiple direct quotes is 
not graduate-level work. You must learn to 


paraphrase.

 There are situations where a direct quote is appropriate. 

According to St. Petersburg College (n.d.), you should use direct quotes when:

1. You will lose the meaning of the original statement if you reword it.

2. The original statement uses especially strong or vivid language.

3. You are quoting an original term or phrase.

Use the following guidelines to know if you should or should not use a direct quote.

. If you 
DO NOT have one of the three reasons above, you should not use a direct quote. 

. If you 
DO have one of the three reasons above, make sure you follow the APA requirements. 

You are a graduate student! You should know how to read and paraphrase an article in your own words at this level of education. I only want to hear YOUR voice in the assignment. 

Remember, if you paraphrase from another source, you still need to cite the source. If you read a source, whether it is an article, a book, an online website, or any other resource, and you use an idea, you must cite the source!

If you do not understand or have questions, please ask!

Introduction

Welcome to MFT-6105: Couples and Sex Therapy.

This course is important because it provides a background for working with couples in a therapeutic setting. Additionally, you will consider the role of relationships within a systemic perspective. 

During this course, you will focus on a variety of challenges that are seen in therapy with couples, discuss some theoretical applications for working with couples, and provide basic sex therapy elements. Additionally, you will examine your own perspectives of healthy relationships and biases that you may enter the room with.

Some of the concepts and topics covered in this course include:

· Sex Therapy

· Sex Positive    

· Monogamy and Consensual Non-Monogamy

· Love

· Divorce

· Infidelity

· Extended Family

· Gottman Approach

· Sexual Orientation

· Gender Identity

· Sexual Dysfunction   

By completing the work in this course, particularly the Week 11 Signature Assignment: Construct Plans, you will be able to pull all of your knowledge together to: recognize the role of culture in the experience of coupling, understand the role of theory in clinical work with couples, apply sex therapy techniques and ideas to your work, and consider your own biases around coupling experiences. These learning elements can be applied to your own clinical work.

As you know, NCU uses a unique one-to-one learning model. If you would like to connect with other students in this same course, your degree program, or others with similar interests, please explore NCU’s internal social network, the Commons. You may already be connected; if not, take some time to check it out.

Remember that your instructor is here to support your success, as is an entire team on the other side of your screen. Let us know how we can help.

I would like to leave you with one more important thought. Everyone experiences relationships differently. People seek out relationships for different reasons, have specific rules, guidelines, or expectations of relationships that often differ, and even experience or expect sex and romance in different ways. These differences lead to challenges within relationships. Additionally, therapists develop their own perspectives about coupling and relationships and what that means to them. Being open and aware of all of these differences is critical to creating a safe space for couples to explore in therapy. 

There is a lot to do, so let’s get started!
