Abstract

Since the new Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association ( APA Publication Manual, Manual, 2020) can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming for students enrolled in and faculty teaching couple and family classes, this article focuses on a pedagogical framework for assisting students in understanding the new Manual . Specifically, this article focuses on practical ways for faculty to help graduate students, especially doctoral-level students, understand how to successfully implement the content of the manual in their writings. Emphasis is placed on experiential learning techniques, and a 50-item exercise is provided to assess the student's understanding of the many changes in the 2020 edition of the Manual .
