Efficacy Of Pain Rehabilitation Program In Reducing Depression And Perceived Pain, Sara Sadek
Efficacy Of Pain Rehabilitation Program In Reducing Depression And Perceived Pain, Sara Sadek
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Clinical depression is a frequently associated mental health disorder found in patients with chronic pain. Many of the symptoms associated with chronic pain mirror the diagnostic criteria for Major Depression. For example, chronic pain often results in social isolation, withdrawal, feelings of hopelessness, sleep difficulties, loss of interest in usual activities, financial strain, and lack of energy-all of which are common symptoms of depression. The purpose of this study is to address the comorbidity between depression and chronic pain and to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program on the level of depression and perceived pain. Changes in …
Barriers To Rural Mental Health Care: Perspectives From Those Who Live There, Amanda R. Turlington
Barriers To Rural Mental Health Care: Perspectives From Those Who Live There, Amanda R. Turlington
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
This research evaluated barriers to mental health care according to the perceptions o f rural dwellers. A survey was mailed to randomly selected registered voters in Lincoln County, Washington, in order to assess their perceptions of barriers to mental health care. The survey consisted of a request for demographic information, Lik:ert-style questions, and forced-choice responses that inquired about barriers to mental health care from the rural respondent' s perspective. Response patterns were then compared to (a) historical factors identified as barriers to mental health care: transportation, cost, accessibility, stigma, and self-reliance, and (b) the additional factors: distrust of outsiders, rural …
Bullying Cognitions Through Identification With Fictional Characters, Joe Dunham Wood Iii
Bullying Cognitions Through Identification With Fictional Characters, Joe Dunham Wood Iii
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
There has been a wealth of research in the past decade on workplace bullying. Issues such as how to define workplace bullying, the prevalence of bullying behaviors cross-culturally, the process of bullying and the impact of bullying on individuals and organizations have been studied and debated. The majority of the focus has been from the point of view of the victim. In contrast, little research exists documenting the phenomenon of workplace bullying from the viewpoint of the perpetrator. This study offers insight into bullying cognition and motivation through inferences given by subjects after watching a series of video clips containing …
Evaluating The Relationship Among Clinical Measures Of Working Memory, Benjamin L. Giesbrecht
Evaluating The Relationship Among Clinical Measures Of Working Memory, Benjamin L. Giesbrecht
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
Working memory is a construct that has received considerable attention and undergone significant theoretical evolution in the past 35 years. Nevertheless, agreement upon a definition of the concept has not occurred. Contributing to this disagreement are the many ways the concept is operationalized, as is evidenced across various standardized tests that purport to measure working memory. The present study examined this relationship among the working memory component of popular cognitive tests, including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Third Edition, Wechsler Memory Scale -Third Edition, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale - Fifth Edition, and the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning - …

Faculty Publications - Graduate School of Counseling
This paper describes work directed toward creating community-supported positive youth development interventions that draw on a developmental intervention science outreach research approach. With respect to developmental interventions, this approach focuses on creating evidence-based longitudinal change intervention strategies for promoting long-term developmental change. The paper describes three broad challenges (theoretical, methodological, and meta-theoretical) that the authors faced in their efforts to develop and implement community-supported intervention programs built on this approach. The authors describe first the theoretical challenges they addressed in developing the conceptual framework for their community-supported intervention; second, the challenge of developing and refining a methodological framework for evaluating …
Using The Mmpi-A To Predict Recidivism In Adjudicated Minors, Mary A. Peterson, Brandon Robbins
Using The Mmpi-A To Predict Recidivism In Adjudicated Minors, Mary A. Peterson, Brandon Robbins
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
This study explored the ability of selected subscales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent; an objective measure of personality used in the psychological evaluation of juvenile delinquents (Archer & Krishnamurthy, 2002), to predict recidivism. Previous literature suggested the subscales reflecting “excitatory” behavior have been useful in discriminating delinquent from nondelinquent adolescents. In this study, three scales that reflect excitatory behavior, including one Clinical Scale (4- Psychopathic Deviate) and two of the Content Scales (Adolescent-Conduct Problems and Adolescent-Cynicism), were used to predict recidivism for adjudicated minors. For the purposes of this study, recidivism was defined by legal charges, excluding detainment. Participants …

Identity Development And Intervention Studies: The Right Time For A Marriage?, Marilyn J. Montgomery, Lynn Hernandez, Laura Ferrer-Wreder
Identity Development And Intervention Studies: The Right Time For A Marriage?, Marilyn J. Montgomery, Lynn Hernandez, Laura Ferrer-Wreder
Faculty Publications - Graduate School of Counseling
A cohesive identity plays a key role in mental health and well-being. Yet, few studies involving identity have been intervention studies, and few intervention studies have included identity-related variables. In this article, we speculate about why this might be so. We argue that intervention research with young people will be more informative when variables tapping key developmental processes and outcomes such as identity cohesion, style, distress, and turning points are included. Such research can (a) promote positive identity development as an important aim, (b) illuminate processes of identity-related change, and (c) add knowledge about for whom interventions work and why …

Faculty Publications - Graduate School of Counseling
The articles in this special issue report the efforts of the Miami Youth Development Project (YDP), a community-supported positive youth development program of outreach research that draws on a developmental intervention science (DIS) perspective (i.e., a fusion of the developmental and intervention science literatures). These reports illustrate how the application of DIS outreach research contributes to knowledge of human development at all levels (practical as well as methodological, theoretical, and metatheoretical). Consistent with a DIS outreach research approach, YDP is committed to the use of descriptive and explanatory knowledge about changes within human systems that occur across the life span …

This article illustrates how developmental intervention science outreach research contributes to knowledge development on the promotion of positive identity development by describing results from the Miami Youth Development Project. The project is committed to the use of descriptive and explanatory knowledge about evidence-based individual and institutional intervention strategies for promoting developmental change in self and identity. Our efforts, described here, include a method for measuring theoretically and personally meaningful identity change, a procedure for integrating key aspects of qualitative and quantitative data through relational data analysis, and an evidence-based positive youth development intervention that fosters measurable and meaningful identity change.

Cultural Worldview Assessment Placement: Establishing The Validity Of The Native Self Actualization Placement Assessment (Nsa-Pa), Sidney Ann Stone Brown
Cultural Worldview Assessment Placement: Establishing The Validity Of The Native Self Actualization Placement Assessment (Nsa-Pa), Sidney Ann Stone Brown
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
The purpose of this dissertation is to finalize a written version of the Native Self- Actualization Placement Assessment tool (NSA-PA) and to explore the content validity of the NSA-PA. Brown (1981) described an oral assessment tool for categorizing cultural identity among Native Americans. This tool was identified by Richard Dana ( 1993) as the preferred tool in assessment of urban Indian acculturation. The oral nature of Brown's ( 1981) instrument, however, limits its application and distribution. A Native Self-Actualization tool has been developed from the oral assessment standardized questions and expanded by four domains. This tool was designed to assess …

Forgiveness And Prayer, Mark R. Mcminn, Heath Fervida, Keith A. Louwerse, Jennifer L. Pop, Ryan Dale Thompson, Bobby L. Trihub, Susan Mcleod-Harrison
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
Forgiveness and prayer are both topics of contemporary social science research, but they are not often considered together. The present study investigates how Christian respondents portray prayer when describing the process of interpersonal forgiveness. Just over half of the respondents mentioned prayer as an important part of forgiveness at their first opportunity in a structured interview protocol. Prayer responses were coded as inward, upward, or outward, with inward prayers being the most common. The narrative descriptions of inward prayer resemble Worthington's (2001, 2003) REACH model of the forgiveness process.

Positive Coping Among Wives Of Male Christian Clergy, Mark R. Mcminn, Sarah P. Kerrick, Susan Duma, Emma R. Campbell, Jane B. Jung
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
Clergy spouses experience various life stressors, yet many cope and function effectively in the midst of their daily challenges. Mental health professionals were asked to identify wives of male clergy who exemplify emotional and spiritual health. Nominees were contacted and interviews conducted with 25 women. Each interviewee was asked about coping with normal life stressors, stressors associated with being married to a minister, and catastrophic life events. All interviews were transcribed and coded, using grounded theory. Participants emphasized the importance of spirituality, social support, limit-setting, and healthy lifestyle choices. Implications are discussed.

Philosophical Foundations For Clinical Supervision Within A Christian Worldview, Rodger K. Bufford
Philosophical Foundations For Clinical Supervision Within A Christian Worldview, Rodger K. Bufford
Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program
Supervision has increasingly become a focus of psychological theory and research in recent years. However, exploration of the implications of a Christian worldview for supervision remains largely neglected. Domains of a worldview are outlined and illustrated with examples of distinctive Christian worldview beliefs. Philosophical implications and practice implications of a Christian worldview are discussed. Specif- ically, a Christian worldview can be addressed with regard to the means, motives, and goals of supervi- sion. Examples of how a Christian perspective can also influence the personal life of supervisees and supervisors are also highlighted.

Stanford-Binet Profile Differences Between Normative Children And Those With Learning Disabilities Or Adhd, Seth Michael Tippin
Stanford-Binet Profile Differences Between Normative Children And Those With Learning Disabilities Or Adhd, Seth Michael Tippin
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
The prevalence of learning disorders (LD) and attention-deficit disorders (ADHD) in school-aged children has received a great deal of interest for decades. The history, defining characteristics and methods of assessment remain relevant as many school-aged children continue to receive these diagnoses. The assessment of LD and ADHD can be a difficult and time-consuming process which involves numerous testing instruments and clinical interviews. Both diagnoses typically require intelligence testing, achievement testing, personality assessment and behavioral or syndrome specific testing. The current study sought to develop subtest profiles for the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Fifth Edition that would serve to streamline the assessment …

Influencing Adaptive Functioning In School-Age Children: Implementation And Program Evaluation Of The Coping Power Program, Aaron Russell
Influencing Adaptive Functioning In School-Age Children: Implementation And Program Evaluation Of The Coping Power Program, Aaron Russell
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Up to 20% of children have a diagnosable mental disorder, but only a small percentage of them actually receive treatment. The developmental trajectory of psychopathology suggests that children who show early signs of behavioral or emotional problems are likely to experience a continual increase in those problems as they grow. Caregivers, attempting to seek assistance for their children, must often navigate a complex mental health maze, obtain funding for treatment and negotiate additional treatment barriers. School-based interventions can remove many of these potential treatment barriers. Coping Power (CP), a school-based Empirically Supported Treatment (EST) intervention created by Lochman, Wells, and …
Student Attitudes And Shame Dynamics Before And After A Bullying Prevention Program, Anne M. Manees
Student Attitudes And Shame Dynamics Before And After A Bullying Prevention Program, Anne M. Manees
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
In light of school violence, bullying has been exposed as an important factor in student well-being and safety. This study investigated changes in shame dynamics and student attitudes related to bullying before and after students participated in a bullying prevention program offered at an elementary school. Students from four, third-grade classrooms (n = 118) participated in curriculum from Steps to Respect, a bullying prevention program. Students were administered questionnaires measuring perceptions and attitudes related to bullying at school and cards from the Thurston-Cradock Test of Shame (TCT) , a projective test designed to assess shame dynamics, and rated by teachers …
Concurrent Validity Bridging The Gap Between A Questionnaire Of Everyday Memory And A Formal Test Of Memory, Benjamin Kessler
Concurrent Validity Bridging The Gap Between A Questionnaire Of Everyday Memory And A Formal Test Of Memory, Benjamin Kessler
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
The purpose of this study is to examine how concurrently valid a questionnaire of everyday memory is with several formal tests of memory. Memory questionnaire development was at an all time high in the late 1970's and early 1980's. During the mid 1980's there was an absence of interest in memory questionnaires as is evidenced by an absence of the topic in the literature. The questionnaires developed in the late 1970's and early 1980's yielded such varying results that it calls into question the reliability of both the memory questionnaires and the results of the studies that utilized them. A …
Measuring Empathy, Feedback, Therapeutic Alliance, And Outcome With Sexual Offenders, Adam G. Fenske
Measuring Empathy, Feedback, Therapeutic Alliance, And Outcome With Sexual Offenders, Adam G. Fenske
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Research has found the therapeutic alliance to be the strongest predictor of successful outcomes from treatment (Orlinsky, Ronnestad, & Willutzki, 2003) . While many populations have been studied to determine successful outcomes through the strengthening of the therapeutic alliance, psychological literature lacks research targeting the specific group of sexual offenders. The present research addressed this gap in psychological literature. Research focused upon three treatment groups involving 19 sexual offenders. The study investigated four hypotheses: (a) symptoms will be reduced as a result of treatment, (b) helping alliance will improve over time in treatment, (c) the strength of the helping alliance …
Interpreter Competency Exam In Mental Health, Sergiy Barsukov
Interpreter Competency Exam In Mental Health, Sergiy Barsukov
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
The issue of diversity has become one of the most salient among mental health professionals in the past few decades. As the American society becomes more and more diverse the need for professionals who can provide culturally competent services will continue to rise. One of the important aspects of culture is language. When serving clients who are monolingual it is not always possible to find a therapist who fluently speaks the client's language. Therefore, professionals often have to use interpreters in order to adequately serve their clients. Initial research on interpreter competence is concerning, with one study reporting an average …
Motivational Interviewing And Behavioral Compliance In Chronic Pain Patients: A Treatment Outcome Study, Jesse Frey
Motivational Interviewing And Behavioral Compliance In Chronic Pain Patients: A Treatment Outcome Study, Jesse Frey
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Multimodal treatment of chronic pain is often met by patient resistance. Although patients seek a cure for pain, some patients are resistant to alternative therapies or nonpharmacological interventions that may help them to manage chronic pain. Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic intervention that is known to work well with resistant behaviors often found in the addiction treatment setting. Until recently, few studies have examined the efficacy of a brief Motivational Interview within the chronic pain treatment setting. This study examined the effects of a single Motivational Interview on patient participation, prescription drug use, and responses on the Pain Stage of …
The Role Of Spirituality And The Impact On Social Responsibility, Jonothan Ridenour
The Role Of Spirituality And The Impact On Social Responsibility, Jonothan Ridenour
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Community and social organizations play an important role in developing social responsibility. Religious groups comprise a considerable number of community and social organizations that attempt to foster pro-social behavior. While religion has been proposed to have both a negative and positive influence on social responsibility, spirituality has been largely overlooked. This study between spirituality and social responsibility explores the assumption of a positive correlation. Data were collected from undergraduate students (N = 136) at two Pacific Northwest Universities by a number of scales measuring social responsibility, religiosity, spirituality, and demographic information. The Social Responsibility Scale (Starrett, 1996) was administered and …

Using Selected Scales Of The Mmpi-A To Differentiate Adjudicated From Nonadjudicated Adolescent Females., Brandon M. Robbins
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Juvenile crime has become an increasingly notable problem in society. Historically, a large portion of research on juvenile offenders centers on the psychological diagnosis of conduct disorder. Juveniles diagnosed with Conduct Disorder often possess other high-risk factors that further complicate their problematic behaviors. For example, deviant peer groups reinforce such behaviors as do home environments where parents exhibit antisocial behaviors and substance abuse (Kronenberger & Meyer, 2001 ). Female offenders constitute a small but important part of the population of adolescents who become involved in the legal system, yet they have been the subject of minimal research. Although only 7-27% …

Fee Guilt: Examining Clinician Bias Against Pro Bono Patients, Darin L. Bergen
Fee Guilt: Examining Clinician Bias Against Pro Bono Patients, Darin L. Bergen
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Discussing pro bono therapy has not been a popular topic in psychology literature. What has been written from a theoretical perspective is generally opposed to the idea of free therapy. The few empirical studies regarding pro bono therapy suggest that the relationship between pro bono therapy and negative therapeutic outcome is not clear. In fact, it can be argued that the main negative dynamics in free therapy reside within the therapist, not the client. Thus, the purpose of this study was to understand the impact of a pro bono therapy request on therapists' diagnosis. Members of AP A Division 12 …
Empathy In Psychology Interns And Medical Residents: An Investigation Of The Cognitive And Emotional Components Of Empathy, Sarah Sherrard
Empathy In Psychology Interns And Medical Residents: An Investigation Of The Cognitive And Emotional Components Of Empathy, Sarah Sherrard
Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)
Empathy has been recognized by both the mental health and medical fields as a central component of relationships between patients and treatment providers. Empathy of care providers has important implications for treatment outcomes of both medical and psychological conditions. Since it is becoming more common for mental health issues to be addressed primarily by primary care physicians, it is important to consider how physicians and psychologists compare on levels of empathy. The present study was an investigation of how medical residents and psychology interns compare on both cognitive and affective components of empathy. The Interpersonal Reactivity Index, designed to measure …
