Please create a three page journal (1200 words) to answer the following questions.
There is an abundance of new research on the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of various forms of psychopathology. The results of these studies are typically published in scientific, peer-reviewed journals. Since members of the general public rarely read or have the scientific background to understand these original papers, they are dependent on the popular press to distill and report recent research findings. This assignment will involve finding a relatively recent (published August 1999 or later) popular press report (e.g., from a newspaper or news magazine) of a study involving some form of psychopathology that was originally published in a scientific, peer-reviewed journal. In your paper, please briefly summarize the popular press report.
