Co-Creating Meaningful Structures Within Long-Term Psychotherapy Group Culture, Robin G. Gayle
Co-Creating Meaningful Structures Within Long-Term Psychotherapy Group Culture, Robin G. Gayle
Robin G. Gayle
Meaningful group structures are co-created within the long-term outpatient psychotherapy group through a hermeneutical interaction between structure and immediate experience of structure by individuals embedded in personal and collective contexts. Co-created meanings expand original group and self understandings and further evolve structures that are stable yet do not exist independently of the narratives and affects of the members who interact with them. Group structures do not reduce, expand, or dissolve but change in connection to the experiences and meaning attributions within the group. This intersubjective process mediates the emphasis within group theory upon leader responsibility for culture building that risks …
Toward Authenticity Or Defeat: The Jolting Effect Of Layoff, Suzanne De Janasz, Amy Kenworthy
Toward Authenticity Or Defeat: The Jolting Effect Of Layoff, Suzanne De Janasz, Amy Kenworthy
Amy L. Kenworthy
The last decade has brought with it unprecedented change –not all of it good. The recent economic downturn has damaged organizations, communities, industries, nations, and individuals. Given the sometimes harsh reality facing many in today’s volatile economy, we have looked at the impact that being made redundant has on individuals. Does it irrevocably damage their self-esteem? What does it mean for their future careers? And can being laid off actually improve individuals’ overall health and well-being? This last point may sound counter-intuitive, but do not underestimate the power of change. It is easy to think of losing a job as …

The Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Lori L. Ellison
Lori L. Ellison
The Spiritual Well-Being Scale is a general indicator of perceived well-being which may be used for the assessment of both individual and congregational spiritual well-being. It provides an overall measure of the perception of spiritual quality of life, as well as subscale scores for Religious and Existential Well-Being. The Religious Well-Being subscale provides a self-assessment of one's relationship with God, while the Existential Well-Being Subscale gives a self-assessment of one's sense of life purpose and life satisfaction.

Duty To Warn And Protect, George T. Williams, Lori L. Ellison
Duty To Warn And Protect, George T. Williams, Lori L. Ellison
Lori L. Ellison
Professional counselors, spurred by the courts, have a dual ethical and legal responsibility to protect others from potentially dangerous clients, to protect clients from being harmed by others, and to protect clients from themselves. The delicate balance between confidentiality and the duty to warn and protect others must be handled on a case-by-case basis. The majority of individual state laws require counselors to breach confidentiality in order to warn and protect someone who is in danger. All states and U.S. jurisdictions now have mandatory reporting statutes for suspected physical, sexual, or emotional child abuse or neglect. There are also several …

In doing so, it will identify several potential "root causes" for the experience of the existential problem of divine hiddenness and attempt to guide a hurting individual through dealing with their doubt by applying misbelief therapy.
