Therapist and client perceptions of the working alliance: Codevelopment, linear growth, variability, and client functioning. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-11-13 Shihong Lin,Dennis M Kivlighan,Clara E Hill
Using longitudinal client and therapist working alliance ratings, previous research examined how alliance: average value, linear growth, variability, stability (autocorrelation), and partner responsiveness were associated with client outcome. However, no research simultaneously examined all of these dimensions. Omitting important variables in analyses could lead to overestimation of related effects

Therapists' ability to accurately assess their clients' emotions is a critical clinical skill across various therapeutic approaches. However, little is understood about the contexts that facilitate or interfere with the effects of this accuracy on therapeutic outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between therapists' empathic accuracy (EA) concerning their clients' emotions and session

Defining racial allies: A qualitative investigation of White allyship from the perspective of people of color.

While interdisciplinary scholars and activists urge White allies to engage in racial justice work led by the voices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), to date, most research on racial allyship has centered exclusively on the perspective of White allies themselves. Thus, the purpose of this study was to create a framework of racial allyship from the perspective of BIPOC. Utilizing constructivist

White adults' color-evasive racial attitudes and racism emotionality: Understanding patterns and correlates. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Sarah J Parks,Katharine H Zeiders,Hyung Chol Yoo,Melissa Y Delgado
There is limited empirical work that examines how Whites psychologically maintain and make efforts to dismantle systemic racism. Prior work suggests that both color-evasive attitudes and aspects of racism emotionality predict Whites' behaviors and, to a lesser extent, their well-being as their racial position is challenged. Utilizing a sample of 897 White adults attending college (Mage = 22.98 years

Reinforcing or challenging the status quo: A grounded theory of how the model minority myth shapes Asian American activism. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-10-26 Jacqueline Yi,Nathan R Todd
Compared to other People of Color in the United States, Asian Americans are often seen as uninterested in activism. Furthermore, the widespread model minority myth (MMM) perpetuates the monolithic image of Asian Americans as successful in society and thus unaffected by racial oppression and uninterested in activism. Despite others' perceptions, Asian American college students have historically engaged

Trajectories of change in weekly and biweekly therapy. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-10-23 Tao Lin,Timothy Anderson,David M Erekson,Benjamin M Ogles
Higher therapy session frequency has been found to result in faster recovery, but few studies have considered that clients follow diverse trajectories of change in psychotherapy. It is unknown how session frequency may affect the sizes and shapes of change trajectories. The present study examined clients' change trajectories in weekly and biweekly therapy in a naturalistic setting, as well as predictors

Previous studies show that therapist mood is associated with psychotherapy processes, but the observational nature of these studies does not allow for causal inference. It is also unclear if other therapist characteristics, such as therapist trait empathy, moderate the relation between therapist mood and process variables. Thirty-four therapists and volunteer client dyads participated in three weekly

This study investigates the relationships between therapists' use of discourse particles and therapist empathy. Discourse particles, commonly found in non-English languages, are verbal elements that constitute metacommunication by encoding speakers' emotions and attitudes, which are typically expressed by nonverbal behaviors (e.g., intonation, tone, facial expression, nodding).

Despite widespread clinical, theoretical, and empirical support for the importance of alliance ruptures, little is known about the underlying biological level at times of rupture. The overarching goal of the present study was to investigate dyadic patterns of in-session oxytocin (OT) change between patients and therapists (e.g., patient's OT increases more than therapist's OT) as markers of withdrawal

Research has shown that minority stress is linked to poorer mental health across a variety of stigmatized populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) people. It is therefore essential to understand factors that can counteract minority stress.

Resisting and countering online racial hate: Antiracism advocacy and coping online with racism as moderators of distress associated with online racism. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Brian TaeHyuk Keum,Vanessa Volpe
The emerging literature highlights online racism (e.g., racist online interactions, exposure to racially traumatizing content) as a contemporary stressor among racially/ethnically minoritized adults. Thus, identifying factors that can help buffer the harmful impact of online racism are imperative. We examined engagement in antiracism advocacy and online coping as moderators that can potentially buffer

Immediacy is a skill therapists use to process the therapeutic relationship in the here and now. Although immediacy has been shown to enhance the therapeutic process, therapists are often reluctant to use it (Hill et al., 2018). In three studies, we developed and tested a measure to assess reasons that therapists avoid using this skill: the Barriers to Using Immediacy Scale (BUIS). In Study 1, 185

The negative impact of racism on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color's (BIPOC's) mental and physical health is well-documented. Research supports the critical role of personal hope as a buffer against despair and adverse health outcomes among BIPOC. However, there is a dearth of empirical research exploring the experiences of BIPOC's sense of collective hope. This study aimed to help fill this gap

In this article, the authors explain systemic racism through a racial-spatial framework wherein anti-Blackness, white supremacy, and racial capitalism interlock to create and recreate white space and time. Through the creation of private property, institutional inequities become embedded and structured for the benefit of white people. The framework provides a way to conceptualize how our geographies

Storying survival: An approach to radical healing for the Black community. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Victoria A McNeil-Young,Della V Mosley,Pearis Bellamy,Amber Lewis,Cindy Hernandez
Anti-Black racism (ABR) contributes to racial trauma and to the disproportionate negative mental, physical, and social outcomes faced by Black populations (Hargons et al., 2017; Wun, 2016a). The previous literature demonstrates that storytelling and other narrative interventions are often used to promote collective healing among Black people (Banks-Wallace, 2002; Moors, 2019).

A preliminary examination of therapist hope as a predictor of clients' distress over treatment. Journal of Counseling Psychology (IF 5.088) Pub Date : 2023-03-30 Theodore T Bartholomew
Therapist and client hope have both been conceptualized and empirically examined as factors that contribute to the reduction of clients' distress in treatment. That is, clients may come to therapy demoralized and without hope per Frank and Frank's contextual model of psychotherapy. Therapy can serve to increase their hope and thereby contribute to the reduction of distress; however, therapists also

Sexual minorities (SMs) who are current/former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDSs) report high levels of depression and risk for suicide. Recent research has suggested that specific LDS religious beliefs may be related to these negative mental health outcomes.
