utilizing objects relations theory .” H u m a n i t i e s

I will attach the psychosocial and application of theory I wrote that needs to be used in order to write the diagnostic assessment & treatment plan. APA Format, 3 pages, 3 scholarly journals and/or peer-reviewed sources. Absolutely no plagiarism allowed as it will be submitted through Turnitin, a plagiarism detection service. 7 pages were provided, 3 are missing.

NOTE – THE PDF that states “Psychosocial & Application of Theory needs to be integrated into the paper for it to be a total of 10 pages.” What is missing is 3 pages (the assignment) which should be: Diagnostic Assessment & Treatment Plan.
