However, research has not examined temporal associations between spiritual struggles and psychological distress in spiritually integrated psychotherapies (SIPs). In total, 175 practitioners of SIPs from 38 clinics and other settings in a practice-research network assessed these outcomes with 1,404 clients over the first 6 weeks of treatment (Time 1 [Weeks 1-2], Time 2 [Weeks 3-4], and Time 3 [Weeks 5-6]). In keeping with findings from other samples (e.g., Cowden et al., 2022, 2024; Currier et al., 2015, 2018), cross-lagged panel analyses across the three time points revealed spiritual struggles predicted clients' psychological distress at the next interval rather than vice versa. Specifically, whereas psychological distress was not predictive of later spiritual struggles, clients who were struggling with their S/R at Time 2 were generally more psychologically distressed at Time 3. Further, the positive prospective association between spiritual struggles at Time 1 and psychological distress at Time 3 was mediated by the severity of spiritual struggles at Time 2. In combination, these findings affirm spiritual struggles drive many clients' depression, anxiety, and other symptoms over the course of SIPs. As such, clinicians will ideally cultivate foundational knowledge and skills about the darker side of S/R that might prepare them to address their clients' spiritual struggles throughout the treatment process when clinically indicated.

Standard interventions for these issues often fall short due to individual-focused approaches and the lack of culturally sensitive definitions of health that include emotional, physical, political, and social domains (Gutierrez Chavez et al., 2022; Ritchie et al., 2020). Multilevel and multidimensional research efforts, integrating social justice-informed orientations, psychotherapy science, and behavioral medicine, are crucial for addressing these health inequities (Asnaani, 2023; Collins et al., 2018; Rodriguez Espinosa & Verney, 2021). Additionally, critically analyzing researcher and participant roles is essential to avoid perpetuating systemic racism (Cook et al., 2023). This article highlights the need for a paradigm shift in psychotherapy research by (a) describing Latino families' eating patterns and coping strategies for emotional distress through focus groups in the community and (b) illustrating the process behind the community-partnered development of a culturally responsive mindfulness-based health intervention. Importantly, this research approach emphasizes liberation psychology theory in the exploration of structural influences affecting health (Martín-Baró, 1996). While mindfulness techniques are feasible in this population (Cotter & Jones, 2020), Latino communities may not be amenable to the current presentation of mainstream psychological science interventions. Our research paradigm informed the conceptualization of mindfulness techniques through both clinical science and critical lenses. Thus, this study argues for reconceptualizing the definition of a successful psychotherapy study to include community engagement and liberatory principles, making the potential for big needle jumps in addressing health inequities incalculable.

The GOL hypothesis is that wishes to receive love and acceptance from specific internalized attachment figures shape and maintain problem patterns and their associated symptoms for many patients across a wide range of psychopathology. According to IRT theory, optimal intervention is defined by therapist alignment, or \"adherence,\" to a core algorithm of principles that are tailored individually and bring awareness to (a) attachment-based yearnings for love and acceptance from internalized figures and (b) how those yearnings shape and motivate current problems and symptoms. The method then seeks to enhance choice about those relationships and their attendant feelings, hopes, and fears. The study sample includes 30 patients, referred while receiving inpatient treatment and followed on an outpatient basis, with complex, high-acuity clinical needs (i.e., histories of multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, recurrent suicidality, ineffectiveness of prior treatment, and significant personality pathology). Reliable measures were developed to track therapist adherence to IRT principles, as well as patient stages of change coming to terms with the GOL. IRT adherence was associated with retention, reduced depression and anxiety, and improved self-treatment. Mediation analyses support the proposition that change in IRT is contingent upon patient progress at grieving the losses and associated wishes linked to attachment figures.

However, the complexity of studying communication dynamics, emotional expressions, and group interactions between multiple members and often coleaders is a frequent barrier to advancing group therapy research and practice. Fortunately, advances in machine learning technologies, for example, natural language processing (NLP), make it possible to study these complex verbal and behavioral interactions within a small group. Additionally, these technologies may serve to provide leaders and members with important and actionable feedback about group therapy sessions, possibly enhancing the utility of feedback-informed care in group therapy. As such, this study sought to provide a proof of concept for applying NLP technologies to automatically assess alliance ratings from participant utterances in two community-based online support groups for weight stigma. We compared traditional machine learning approaches with advanced transformer-based language models, including variants pretrained on mental health and psychotherapy data. Results indicated that several models detected relationships between participant utterances and alliance, with the best performing model achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.654. Logistic regression analysis identified specific utterances associated with high and low alliance ratings, providing interpretable insights into group dynamics. While acknowledging limitations such as small sample size and the specific context of weight stigma groups, this study provides insights into the potential of NLP in augmenting feedback-informed group therapy.

A newly developed performance-based measure of MCO capacities exists (MCO-performance task [MCO-PT]) in which therapists respond to video-based vignettes of clients sharing culturally relevant information in therapy. The MCO-PT provides scores related to the three aspects of MCO: cultural humility (i.e., adoption of a nonsuperior and other-oriented stance toward clients), cultural opportunities (i.e., seizing or making moments in session to ask about clients' cultural identities), and cultural comfort (i.e., therapists' comfort in cultural conversations). Although a promising measure, the MCO-PT relies on labor-intensive human coding. The present study evaluated the ability to automate the scoring of the MCO-PT transcripts using modern machine learning and natural language processing methods. We included a sample of 100 participants (<i>n</i> = 613 MCO-PT responses). Results indicated that machine learning models were able to achieve near-human reliability on the average across all domains (Spearman's ρ = .75, <i>p</i> < .0001) and opportunity (ρ = .81, <i>p</i> < .0001). Performance was less robust for cultural humility (ρ = .46, <i>p</i> < .001) and was poorest for cultural comfort (ρ = .41, <i>p</i> < .001). This suggests that we may be on the cusp of being able to develop machine learning-based training paradigms that could allow therapists opportunities for feedback and deliberate practice of some key therapist behaviors, including aspects of MCO.
