A total of 24 elementary school students with externalising disorders, diagnosed by completing the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), were randomly assigned to a mindfulness-based intervention for two months. One session per week was offered and each session lasted one hour (n = 12) or as a wait-list control group (n = 12). Data were analysed via a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test. Students from the intervention group showed greater reductions in rule-breaking behaviours than those in the wait-list control group. Also, there was clear superiority of the intervention relative to the wait-list control group for reducing both aggression and rule-breaking behaviours (effect size differences were d = −2.52 and d = −1.88 respectively). These positive results on outcome measures provide initial evidence for a mindfulness-based intervention as a treatment option for boys with externalising disorders.","PeriodicalId":43505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools","volume":"32 1","pages":"15 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/jgc.2021.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56914005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"‘Let’s be Still’: A school psychologist delivered stillness meditation program for wellbeing","authors":"Rachel Yerbury","doi":"10.1017/jgc.2021.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/jgc.2021.12","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract School counsellors implement preventative programs to build student resilience and coping skills to counteract the rising mental health needs of children in Australia. School-based meditation programs are effective for individuals and groups, with documented benefits. Most literature examines mindfulness meditation, and the current, exploratory study aimed to add to the research breadth by considering stillness meditation. The stillness program ‘Let’s be Still’ is a 10-week, class-based program that was conducted between 2015–2020 by the school psychologist in a regional, independent New South Wales school. Data were collected from questionnaire responses of 169 Year 2 (7–9 years) and five teachers to document what the children had learnt and how it helped them. Thematic analysis of the responses revealed an emphasis on stillness promoting positive emotions and behaviours. Both students and teachers articulated that learning and practising stillness provided the students with tools to be calm, relaxed and settled, to deal with conflict and to have a break from the busyness of the school day. While the study design does not allow generalisability of the program’s effectiveness, this study may offer input for school counsellors considering the implementation of a school-based meditation program.","PeriodicalId":43505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools","volume":"31 1","pages":"227 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/jgc.2021.12","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49430450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Editorial","authors":"Marilyn Campbell","doi":"10.1017/jgc.2021.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/jgc.2021.8","url":null,"abstract":"As I write this editorial we are still not out of the woods of COVID19, but there seems to be some hope of defeating this virus. I know we have all been impacted by the efforts to contain the virus with lockdowns, working from home and home schooling. There are of course ongoing concerns about the impact of these measures on mental health and especially the mental health of young people. I hope the papers in this issue will be helpful for your practice as well as being an interesting read. The first paper which deals with internet addiction by Hatice Odaci, Fatma Irem Değerli and Neslihan Cikrikci looks at predictors of this addiction in secondary and university students. This is timely as many people are worried that young people are increasingly using screens and what the benefits and risks are of them doing so. The next three papers are about bullying at school. This is a seemingly intractable problem which still has no obvious, clear and simple solution. The paper by Yu-Hsien Sung, Martin Valcke and Li-Ming Chen examined how experienced secondary school teachers handled bullying situations when they happened. They found these teachers tended to identify that the incident was bullying and then teach those involved about the incident. The teachers also stressed that they remained calm but kept a serious and fair attitude and tried to create a positive atmosphere in which to implement an immediate intervention. The second paper on bullying is by Kevin Runions, Donna Cross, Rena Vithiatharan, Mark Everard and Graham Hall. An interesting aspect of bullying of children with asthma was examined. It was found that children with asthma were more likely to be victimised but also to be perpetrators of bullying. Those children with asthma who were victims of bullying only, were at more risk of psychosocial adjustment problems. It was emphasised in the paper that these children with asthma who were bullied could require specialised support from school counsellors and psychologists. The third paper by Zeynep Nur Besnili, and Ibrahim Tanrikulu presents the validation of a peer bullying scale for preschool children. That preschool children actually bully others and are not just aggressive is still a contentious issue, however, this measure will go some way to solving this problem and is a welcome addition to bullying measures. The following paper by Inbar Levkovich and Ina Vigdor explores the way high school counsellors cope when students at their school attempt suicide. Not surprisingly they found that counsellors described these events as painful, difficult and confusing and how complex their dealings with young people, their families and the school were. However, despite their feelings of inadequacy in these situations they recognised that their role was crucial in managing and treating these incidents in the school environment. The next paper deals with ethical dilemmas faced by school counsellors by Fatih Camadan, Cem Topsakal, and İnci Sadıkoğlu.

The present study enquires into the role of basic psychological needs in perpetrating and victimisation behaviour of children and youth in the social contexts of school and family in a cross-sectional research design. Specifically, this study focuses on the direct effects that basic psychological needs might have on bullying behaviour and bullying victimisation. It was found that basic psychological needs, forged in the relationships with family and school members, could predict bullying victimisation in each social context. Bullying perpetrations could be predicted only by bullying victimisation stemming from each social context, whereas bullying behaviours in school could also be directly predicted by the basic psychological needs developed in the family. Furthermore, path models verified the multiple influences of family functioning on school relationships. Findings of the present study may contribute to designing effective school interventions and to reforming antibullying guidelines for teachers and parents with respect to the basic psychological needs of the children or adolescents who have been victimised.","PeriodicalId":43505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools","volume":"32 1","pages":"230 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/jgc.2021.9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47769890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the significance of the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention in Schools (TCI-S) critical incident framework to decrease the prevalence of behavioural critical incidents and to improve staff and student emotional competence in schools. The application of the TCI-S framework to reduce critical incidents within the United States and the United Kingdom school systems are demonstrated through upskilling school staff in social-emotional and co-regulation skills. It is suggested that TCI-S has the potential to support students with behavioural and emotional challenges and increase staff competency to implement trauma-informed practices that ultimately will reduce critical incidents.","PeriodicalId":43505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools","volume":"31 1","pages":"238 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/jgc.2021.2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44569787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of this, schools are increasingly being confronted with the challenge of how to best manage students with depressive disorders. Such management includes consideration of the academic, behavioural, social and emotional implications of the disorder. This article provides school practitioners and management with a review of what constitutes ‘best practice’ in school management of students with depressive disorders. It adopts the mental health intervention framework of the Institute of Medicine, considering how school-based intervention occurs across the four domains of mental health promotion, prevention, case identification and treatment, as well as maintenance of students with or at-risk of depression. It provides a checklist for practitioners at each stage of the Institute of Medicine intervention spectrum. Moreover, it takes the view that best practice in psychology is always evidence-based practice, although discerning a clear path through the available research is not always obvious.","PeriodicalId":43505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools","volume":"31 1","pages":"246 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/jgc.2021.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46333343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
