The present study has aimed to explore how counselling psychologists make sense of their lived experiences of client death. Two subsidiary aims were to explore what drew counselling psychologists to work with terminally ill clients, and to explore their experiences in terms of personal and professional growth.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven counselling psychologists who had experienced the death of a terminally ill client. Their accounts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative methodology that attempts to illuminate the lived experience of a phenomenon among a small sample of individuals.Three main superordinate themes emerged from the data: (1) Working within the dying space (working when the client outcome is death); (2) Heightened emotional arousal (the raw emotions of working with the existential crisis of death); and (3) Dynamics between professional and personal identity (conflicting aspects of the two identities).This study suggests that counselling psychologists experienced challenges in the complex dynamics between their personal and professional identities, such as ethical dilemmas about whether to attend a funeral and how to set boundaries. Future research could usefully investigate intrinsic motivation to work in this field to support the recruiting of counselling psychologists to work in this area.","PeriodicalId":36758,"journal":{"name":"Counselling Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49191225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early maladaptive schemas (EMS), as described by Young et al., (2003), have been observed in some patients with ME/CFS; seemingly adversely impacting on psychological and physical wellbeing. This study explores the experience of working at schema level with a woman with ME/CFS and endorsed EMS. It provides an overview of the therapeutic treatment, with the aim of adding to the limited research in this area.The instrumental single case study takes place within a clinical context. The client received 20 sessions of therapy. Standard cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) was initially utilised to work with the client’s depression; once reduced, schema work commenced. Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was used to measure mood, and Young’s Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3) was employed to measure schemas.By the end of therapy only two schemas from the nine schemas that the client had endorsed at the start of therapy remained at a level of ‘therapeutic significance’; three schemas diminished once the depression had been treated. The client reported that her quality of life had improved and that she had taken up part-time paid employment.The results appear to offer some support for working at schema level with people that have ME/CFS and also endorse EMS. However, treating existing depression first is recommended.","PeriodicalId":36758,"journal":{"name":"Counselling Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44274566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Davies","doi":"10.53841/bpscpr.2018.33.1.24","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpscpr.2018.33.1.24","url":null,"abstract":"Leonie Sugarman has previously made the case for counselling psychology to embrace lifespan theories as readily available frameworks that can incorporate the needs of clients in an open and flexible manner without resorting to the medical model. This article advocates again for the uptake of such theories but addresses the issue of their language as something which is fundamentally non -pathological. It is argued that lifespan approaches help in the normalisation of distress rather than view it as ‘abnormal’.One of the key concepts of the lifespan approach is ‘challenges’, something which can account for the ecological role of distress, signifying the importance of individual-environment interactions. They demonstrate that challenges are something to be expected and are ‘normal’ aspects of living. This way distress is not located ‘within’ individuals but in the ways which they relate to their environments.One such model that provides a non-pathological ‘language of challenge’ is ‘The Lifespan Model of Developmental Challenge’ (Hendry & Kloep, 2006, 2012). This framework is discussed in detail. It highlights that development is uniquely personal and can only be understood through use of a narrative account. Practioners ought to be aware of such models which can help bring phenomenology to the surface while at the same time normalising distressing feelings as part of the natural flow of life.","PeriodicalId":36758,"journal":{"name":"Counselling Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48313510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Integrating neuroscience into counselling psychology: Exploring the views and experiences of UK-based counselling psychologists","authors":"David Goss","doi":"10.53841/bpscpr.2017.32.4.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpscpr.2017.32.4.4","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The last few decades have seen neuroscience rapidly progress as a discipline. Development of research techniques such as neuroimaging have been utilised to increase an understanding of our species. Counselling psychologists are trained to combine the world of humanistic and phenomenological philosophies with an ability to understand and undertake psychological research, leading to interventions which are theoretically and subjectively informed. This work is undertaken through the reflexive and scientist-practitioner models which underpin the identity of the discipline. As such, counselling psychologists would seem ideally placed to integrate neuroscience into their work, utilising their reflective and scientist practitioner identities to both utilise and add to neuroscience research, helping to increase the understanding and efficacy of interventions for our species’ mental health. However, it appears to be unknown as to whether this is something that counselling psychologists want, particularly in the UK. Aims and Method: The aim of this research was to explore UK based counselling psychologists’ views and experiences of integrating neuroscience into their work. An interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) was undertaken. Six participants were recruited into three different groups of interest/understanding in integrating neuroscience into counselling psychology. One hour semi-structured interviews were carried out with each participant to explore their views and experiences relating to the paradigm. Findings and Discussion: Six master themes emerged from the analysis; ‘The Dangers of neuroscience’, ‘Defining neuroscience’, ‘There are ways that neuroscience can help us’, ‘Methods of learning and the need for training’, ‘Integration: The opposition and the need – finding the balance’, and ‘My practitioner identity’. The themes presented various advantages, dangers and challenges to integration, some of which aligned with existing literature and some of which presented new thoughts and feelings on the paradigm. Conclusion: The six master themes highlighted that participants indicated an overall view that UK counselling psychologists are currently integrating neuroscience into their work, utilising neuroscience theory as a way to develop their understanding of clients, as well as to communicate with clients and multi-disciplinary colleagues. Participants provided a number of experiential advantages of integration and indicated that they want to integrate even more with neuroscience, incorporating neuroscience into doctorate and CPD training, though they acknowledged the importance of balanced integration.","PeriodicalId":36758,"journal":{"name":"Counselling Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42329251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
