On the other hand, for the “con” side, you are against this type of therapy. Your paper should be 2-5 pages (excluding cover and references). Your goals in the debate will be to: Demonstrate understanding of the emerging issue and relevant research findings Display critical thinking skills, while demonstrating an understanding of the emerging issue that enables you to present your side in a rational manner.
