The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant resource loss, disruption to societal functioning and transportation, panic, and isolation. In the wake of mass-stress events, preserving empathy in relationships may aid long-term adaptation; this study represents a contribution toward understanding empathy in couples during mass stress. We tested actor and partner effects of resource loss at the onset of the pandemic on changes in empathy 6 months later. We also examined the mediating role of attachment behavior changes in this relationship. Resource loss indirectly decreased empathy through reduced attachment behaviors for actors. It also indirectly increased empathy in the partner via enhanced partner attachment behaviors. Attachment behaviors supported higher empathy within partners, with no gender differences in model effects. Implications include the importance of reducing loss and enhancing attachment behaviors in couples and maintaining empathy for each other during mass stress events.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"51 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144091904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a novel application of Open Dialogue, this study explored how parents of students at an Australian independent school experienced Open Dialogue meetings within a school setting. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we analyzed 4 h of audio recordings of three focus groups involving 14 parents. Parents reported that Open Dialogue meetings promoted closer relationships between the school, parents, and students and focused on adapting to the needs of the student. However, Open Dialogue meetings also interacted with parents' expectations and the school's reputation for student wellbeing to amplify parents' perceptions of the school's responsibility. Open Dialogue meetings promoted closer collaborative relationships between parents, students, and staff. Clinicians need to be mindful of broader social attitudes that influence a parent's experience, and to set up appropriate expectations to mitigate potential problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"51 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jmft.70030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carceral practices involve coercive or punitive actions to control BIPOC and low-income communities, contributing to lower mental health service utilization among racial minorities, especially those with prior carceral involvement. Therapists in training, believing they are fulfilling ethical and legal duties, may overreport, negatively impacting families of color. From 2015 to 2018, only 9 in 1000 maltreatment cases were confirmed, reflecting the carceral conditioning of therapists. This paper advocates for an anticarceral praxis and proposes an ethical family centered model. It encourages therapists to critically reflect on their roles within carceral paradigms, explore alternative supportive methods for working with BIPOC clients, and review transformative justice, abolitionist approaches, and community-centered alternatives to traditional MR.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"51 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results suggested that mindfulness in couple relationships, psychological safety, conflict strategies, and depression symptoms were of top importance for relationship and sexual satisfaction.
