The identification of these emotional difficulties is largely based on observation and clinical judgment. This study describes the first psychometric analysis of the Emotional Processing Difficulties Scale-Revised (EPDS-R). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), reliability, and validity procedures were conducted in a sample of 260 participants. EPDS-R matched adequate EFA criteria (KMO = .89; Bartlett’s sphericity test p < .001), suggesting a five-dimensional structure. Cronbach Alphas ranged from .87 to .70. Convergent validity was found between EPDS-R and difficulties in emotional regulation (DERS), and concurrent validity was found in two sub-samples based on > 1.7 clinical criteria from the Brief Symptom Index (BSI). According to this preliminary psychometric study, EPDS-R may be a valid tool to assess emotional processing difficulties in the general population.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"132 1","pages":"349 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80883731","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}

This change was evident in two filmed demonstration interviews with African American clients in 1977 and 1984. While Rogers had always been steadfast in his stance against racism, in 1977 he was not sufficiently aware that being a white therapist might affect his relationship with an African American client. Later, in 1984, Rogers empathically and acceptingly responded to a client’s concerns regarding the difficulty of discussing pervasive and systemic racism with a white therapist. Rogers’ shift in approach, which is discussed within the framework of the six core conditions of person-centered therapy, underscores an important issue for contemporary white psychotherapists and counselors – that issue being the need for an ongoing examination of one’s own racial/cultural self that I will discuss in terms of white privilege and white fragility.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"775 1","pages":"220 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85443445","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}

It proposes evidence of this influence, noticing similarities in the writings and biographical details of the two men. It also extrapolates a question and proposes it for further research – the possibility that Rogers integrated Emersonian thinking into the development of the person-approach. The limited and interpretive reasoning for such an extrapolation is acknowledged. The article concludes that Emerson was one of many writers in literature, theology, philosophy, psychology, art and science with whom Rogers engaged over his lifetime, an eclectic contributed to Rogers’ fluid, ongoing, and ever-evolving creative synthesis. It also concludes that the question of whether Rogers’ use of the epigraph at the beginning of Client-Centered Therapy indicates a connection between Emerson and Rogers’ person-centered theory, is worthy of being asked.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"87 1","pages":"235 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86585836","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}

Specifically, this work shows the interrelation between theory, practice, and research in the author’s counseling psychology training with a person-centered/experiential approach. Firstly, the beginning of therapy contextualizes the work with a formulation and presents the initial phase of the therapeutic relationship. Secondly, the development of therapy explores how empathic understanding was fostered with a focus on the themes of trust, acceptance, and power to illustrate the client’s process of change and the therapeutic alliance. Thirdly, a prospective ending is outlined as therapy was still ongoing at the time of writing. Finally, the therapeutic experience is evaluated within an understanding of counseling psychology practice as an ethical enterprise.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"49 1","pages":"16 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84387544","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}

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed additional strain on the mental health of families and children. As a result, there is an increased need for brief, family-based interventions. Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is an empirically-supported intervention targeting caregivers of children with mental health challenges. The EFFT group therapy modality typically involves thirty caregivers who participate in a two-day intensive workshop, serving as a brief yet efficient intervention with enduring impact. Based on experiences within our clinic, this article provides practical intervention strategies to address common challenges therapists may contend with while providing EFFT intervention to caregivers and families through a secure videoconferencing platform. Additional research in distance-based mental health care for children and their caregivers can assess effectiveness, efficiency and improved access to mental health care throughout the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"77 1","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74909462","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}

Research shows that supervisors, regardless of their therapeutic approach, use many common methods in their work. In the present paper, we describe the traits and aims of focusing-oriented supervision, which is suitable for many therapeutic approaches. We also examine two multi-approach supervision models with large acceptance in the scientific community, the developmental model with six stages by Skovholt and Rønnestad and the seven-eye process model by Hawkins and Shohet. Finally, we propose a combined model that includes both the developmental and the process character of supervision and which also incorporates the bodily process, which is facilitated by focusing-oriented supervision. It is appropriate for careful and tentative approaches with back-and-forth movements elaborating the supervisee’s blind spots, nuclear beliefs and psychological resistance. This model, metaphorically called ‘the duck shuffle mode’, is best suited for supervision with experienced therapists of almost any psychotherapeutic approach. Focusing-oriented supervision is also very useful for medical and health settings as it helps to protect the practitioner from compassion fatigue, stress and burnout and helps to improve the patient’s medical outcome.","PeriodicalId":44274,"journal":{"name":"Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapies","volume":"1 1","pages":"31 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88249242","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}
