What's The Skinny On Fat Women In Psychotherapy : Mental Health Clinicians' Countertransference With Women Of Size, Maisha Najuma Aza
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative study was conducted to explore mental health clinicians' possible countertransference with clients who are women of size. This study intends to contribute to the growing clinical literature on size bias in psychotherapy by focusing on clinicians' countertransference in depth. Twelve clinicians participated in this study, from various mental health backgrounds and degrees from licensed clinical social workers to clinical psychologists. The data in this study suggests that clinicians experience intense, and often negative, countertransference with their clients who are women of size. Some clinicians were aware of their fat bias and prejudice out in the world, yet were …

The School Mental Health Clinician's Role As A Mandated Reporter Of Child Abuse And Neglect, Christina Shirley Bagley
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study explored the experiences of mental health clinicians who work in schools as mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. These clinicians included school psychologists, adjustment counselors, social workers, and licensed mental health counselors who work in schools. This study used the narratives of 12 clinicians in order to understand what they go through when they have a suspicion that a child is being abused or neglected. This study found that clinicians sometimes hesitate when deciding whether or not to report suspected abuse. Some of the clinicians felt that there were no questions to be asked, and that the …

Psychotherapist And Intuitive Healer's Cultivation Of Self Compassion : How Loving The Self Enhances Therapist Intuition And Client Interaction, Julia Elizabeth Barker
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative, flexible study explored how traditional psychotherapists and alternative intuitive healers relate to themselves and how this impacts interactions with clients. This study aimed to: (a) expand a limited body of research on the means and effects of cultivating self-compassion, (b) explore the differences between how psychotherapists and intuitive healers relate to themselves through the lens of self-compassion, (c) explore how relating to oneself impacts intuitive abilities, and (d) explore the notion that self-compassion not only enhances personal well-being, but also enhances the well-being of others, specifically in therapeutic settings. Thirteen total participants were interviewed, which included seven licensed …

The research was a qualitative study with a sample of 13 White self-indentified antiracists who spent at least five hours per week on antiracism work. Through face-to-face interviews, participants were asked to reflect on life experiences relevant to the development of an antiracist identity and to identify sources of hope and motivation in doing this challenging work. The findings of the study increase our understanding of what it means to be a White antiracist, the complex process of …
Inextricably Intertwined : Identity Development In Adults With A Disabled Sibling, Sarah M. Rigney
Inextricably Intertwined : Identity Development In Adults With A Disabled Sibling, Sarah M. Rigney
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study sought to answer the question "What is the long-term impact on the identity formation of adults who grew up with a disabled sibling?" The bulk of literature exploring the impact of a sibling's disability on his/her non-disabled sibling focuses primarily on children. With so few studies asking non-disabled adult siblings about their experience, however, the research examining this unique relationship lacks depth and scope. In exploring this relationship through an adult lens, there were two primary hypotheses: 1) non-disabled siblings would report having an experience that was rich with both rewards and challenges, and 2) this relationship would …

Assessing The Benefits Of Practicing Spirituality Or Religion While Incarcerated : A Study Of Formerly Incarcerated Men In Texas, Jana Lynn Wu
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative study explored former prisoners' beliefs regarding the benefits of practicing spirituality or religion during their time of incarceration. The prison population is seldom included in mainstream research studies. Additionally, a personal relationship to religion and spirituality is a difficult phenomenon to quantify in a standardized and formulaic way. This research sought to explore if spirituality or religion can be considered a protective factor during a time of incarceration. This study was conducted with face-to-face interviews, using both demographic and narrative questions. A qualitative, flexible research method design was used to gather and analyze data from 13 former male …
Navigating Into The Ring : Some Of The Many Barriers Keeping Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Practitioners From Connecting With Prospective Clients, Shawn W. Young
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study was undertaken to explore some of the barriers that keep EAP(Equine Assisted Psychotherapist) practitioners from connecting with prospective clients and/or allowing them to make EAP a more viable part of their therapy repertoire. Similar to more traditional therapy, EAP can be used for a wide variety of disorders. A qualitative study was conducted by having qualified participants fill out a questionnaire and collecting their ideas and thoughts about what barriers exist and some ideas of how to overcome said barriers. Supporting questions were also asked, such as the efficacy of EAP with certain populations and how EAP can …

Interviews were conducted to ascertain their perceptions of the best ways to adapt assessment, diagnosis and treatment for this population, what modalities and theoretical frameworks they found to be most …
What Is The Efficacy Of Evidence-Based Practice In Mental Health Treatment Of Diverse Ethnic Minorities?, Claire Denise Villegas
What Is The Efficacy Of Evidence-Based Practice In Mental Health Treatment Of Diverse Ethnic Minorities?, Claire Denise Villegas
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This mixed-method exploratory study attempted to examine the efficacy of evidence-based practice (EBP) in mental health treatment of diverse ethnic minorities. The study utilized an online survey consisting of demographic, multiple-choice and narrative questions. Twenty-one clinicians who utilized EBP interventions in their clinical practice completed this survey. The current EBP research lacks equal representation of ethnic minorities in the study populations. EBPs are increasingly mandated through agency policy and legislation (Carter, 2008). While broad claims are sometimes made that such interventions will "work" for everyone, it is noteworthy that diverse ethnic minorities are often not included in much of the …

The study also addressed whether or not clinicians felt that extratherapeutic encounters affect the therapeutic alliance. Twelve clinical outpatient social workers were interviewed in a qualitative study. This research was an attempt to examine how clinical outpatient social workers handle extratherapeutic encounters and their experiences when dealing with such an encounter. The study is also focused on how clinical social workers prepare clients, if at all, for the fact that they very well may run into clients …
Resilient Traits Of Children Raised By A Parent With Borderline Personality Disorder, Meghan Andrea Albrecht
Resilient Traits Of Children Raised By A Parent With Borderline Personality Disorder, Meghan Andrea Albrecht
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Much of the literature on BPD and children of parents with BPD focuses on the psychopathological tendencies of this population, specifically the high risk these children have of going on to have BPD as well. The purpose of this study is to better understand how children with BPD adapt and are resilient in ways that exclude them from developing BPD. Three memoirs written by daughters of mothers with BPD were selected based on APA criteria met by each mother for BPD and the daughter's ability to articulate and reflect on her experience with her mother from childhood to adulthood. These …

Through direct interviews with the relevant professionals this study examined their efforts to service this challenging population. The overarching request made of participants was to "describe [a] case …
A Discontinuous Space : Postmodern Perspectives On Mental Health Discourse, Jennifer Leigh Harrison
A Discontinuous Space : Postmodern Perspectives On Mental Health Discourse, Jennifer Leigh Harrison
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Language in the mental health field is rich with powerful metaphors, hyperbolic phrases, and linguistic symbols of historical, political and social meaning. At a closer look, a dominant discourse rooted deep in the grounds of empirical science is revealed. In this theoretical study, mental health language is deconstructed using Critical Discourse Analysis and other related theories to locate and analyze a dominant discourse, which opens space for a non-dominant discourse. Postmodern theory assumes that power, entangled with and interdependent on powerlessness, is an absolute phenomenon, and that power abuse can be revealed through the study of a discourse itself. The …
An Exploratory Study : Hispanic/Latino Oef/Oif U.S. Military Veterans Readjusting Post Deployment, Susana Ochoa
An Exploratory Study : Hispanic/Latino Oef/Oif U.S. Military Veterans Readjusting Post Deployment, Susana Ochoa
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
There are a growing number of service members being deployed and sent to war, heightening the need to explore and address the concerns of U.S. military veterans. Current research on post deployed military veterans is limited by the lack of an equal representation of ethnic minorities in their study populations. This exploratory study attempted to investigate how Hispanic/Latino U.S. military veterans who deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom, were readjusting to life post deployment. This study used an online survey consisting of demographic questions and the Post Deployment Readjustment Inventory (Katz, in press). A purposive sample of …
Codependency Among Only Children As Predicted By Parenting Styles Practiced In Family-Of-Origin, Rachel Ellen Carfora
Codependency Among Only Children As Predicted By Parenting Styles Practiced In Family-Of-Origin, Rachel Ellen Carfora
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study sought to explore whether there is a relationship between only children and codependence as predicted by parenting style in family-of-origin. While past literature looks at codependency and perceived parenting styles, none focus specifically upon the experience of only-children who are thought to be more influenced by family-of-origin dynamics. Therefore, this study also intended to explore whether this relationship was significant enough to invite future research and investigation. Two fixed online questionnaires were completed by 51 participants who met inclusion criteria for being older than 21-years-of-age and an only child as defined by not having grown up with any …
Majority Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action In The Workplace : A Survey Based On The Kuklinski List Experiment, Sonnie Chong
Majority Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action In The Workplace : A Survey Based On The Kuklinski List Experiment, Sonnie Chong
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The purpose of this study was to examine majority attitudes toward affirmative action (AA) in the workplace, since the future of AA may depend on these views. Conservatives generally oppose AA but it may be that most liberals do also, according to studies modeled on the Kuklinski List Experiment (LE). The LE employs indirect means to help reveal covert attitudes toward sensitive subjects. Based on this previous research, this study's prime hypothesis was that most White liberals harbor antagonism towards AA, contrary to expectation. Participants were invited to take an Internet based survey which utilized LE methodology. The main result …
Gathering Strengths And Resiliencies Of Low-Income Joint And Custodial Fathers Of Color : A Focus Group Study, Jamil Malik Davis
Gathering Strengths And Resiliencies Of Low-Income Joint And Custodial Fathers Of Color : A Focus Group Study, Jamil Malik Davis
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The low-income father of color has been poorly represented in research studies relating to positive aspects of their involvement as fathers. Researchers have shown that studies that positively reflect the involvement of fathers are often overrepresented by samples of white fathers, while fathers of color are often labeled as absent, non-resident, peripheral, and deadbeat. Current research is beginning to explore the positive qualities of this marginalized group through studies that document the potential for fathers of color to serve as positive role models. This research gathered data from two focus groups (n=9 and n=5) of low-income African American and Hispanic …
Strategy And Power In Contemporary Clinical Practice : A Theoretical Examination Of Family Preservation Philosophy And Strategic Family Therapy In The Context Of Poverty, Emily Erchick
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This theoretical study reviewed family therapy and child welfare literature in the context of poverty. Clinical practice with low-income families was investigated historically. The literature brought to life issues of clinical power and aspects of social control and social reform inherent in direct practice. A consideration of family preservation philosophy and strategic family therapy was proposed. In describing these two schemas separately, their synthesis was eventually formulated and supported. The larger history of ideas that emerged yielded an epistemological discrepancy between models of practice in the field of family therapy. These discrepancies were further exaggerated by issues of policy, funding, …
How Palliative Care Professionals In Multicultural Or Monocultural Dyads Incorporate Humor In Their Work, Susan M. Lutzke-Hoff
How Palliative Care Professionals In Multicultural Or Monocultural Dyads Incorporate Humor In Their Work, Susan M. Lutzke-Hoff
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Some religions/people believe that a persons' core being, or spirit will cease to be at death, some believe in reincarnation, and others believe in eternal life. With the seriousness of one's spirit ending, transforming, or transitioning from this life to another, some believe it is a most solemn and serious time, where there is no room for humor. Others believe there are no boundaries to contain humor. It is part of life and death. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore how palliative care professionals in multicultural or monocultural dyads incorporated humor in their work. The narratives in …

The impact of assets on child well-being in developing countries has received considerable attention in the last decade. Increased recognition of the critical role played by assets in enhancing children’s well-being has spurred efforts to study the relationship between assets and a range of outcomes for children. This chapter reviews current studies (i.e., conducted within the past 10 years) that explore the relationship of asset ownership and a range of outcomes. The studies we have included in this review illustrate the impact that assets can have on children’s outcomes in the area of health, education, and child labor. Overall, the …
