Dietitians support patient education with instructions on how to measure and prepare the immunotherapy dose, incorporate the dose into the daily diet, and transition to equivalent foods to meet dosing needs. Dietitians play an important role in assessing the impact of oral immunotherapy on nutritional health. Psychological distress in food allergy is largely driven by the persistent fear of an adverse reaction, therefore the principal objective of food allergy treatment is to improve patient outcomes, e.g., quality of life. Psychologists must be involved in the design of patient related outcome measures in clinical trials to inform clinical decision-making and health-care policy; an important step in selecting and supporting patients who will benefit most from a particular treatment.

Three family therapy training centers collaborated with state officials managed care organizations, and supervisors to create a two-step process for orchestrating an abrupt, unwanted shift to technology-assisted intensive in-home family therapy. The first step encouraged supervisors to set the stage for this change through an ethics-based lens. The central tenet was to tenaciously advance the wellbeing of the child and their family. The second step encouraged supervisors to remain grounded in the basic principles of treatment and supervision that they followed before telehealth, but with a few adaptations. Three principles are emphasized. Principle one focused on securing clinician commitment to a adapting a family therapy model to a telehealth format. Principle two focused on an unremitting adherence to a preferred family therapy model by using a checklist adapted for technology-based challenges. Finally, principle three focused on fostering professional competence through attending to case conceptualization, supervision-based practice, person-of-the-self challenges, and family-clinician-supervisor isomorphic patterns. Two case examples illustrate the beginning and ending phases of technology-assisted intensive in-home family therapy. Based on feedback from in-home agencies, implementation of these two-steps helped supervisors effectively lead pandemic-induced, practice-based change to a telehealth format with intentionality, conviction, and self-efficacy.","PeriodicalId":44427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Psychotherapy","volume":"31 1","pages":"141 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2692398X.2020.1865768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47249233","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 created an abrupt pivot to OTS, requiring systemic supervisors and clinicians to adopt and utilize technologies which were unfamiliar to many. To facilitate the effective adoption and implementation of OTS we draw attention to three distinct competencies critical to the effective use of OTS: technological, contextual, and relational. These competencies are in no way exhaustive but lay the ground work for systemic supervisors to engage and connect with supervisees using video conferencing technology. In addition to the competencies, specific techniques and strategies are suggested to assist supervisors hone their skills in OTS and subsequently improve the quality and effectiveness of supervision in a virtual environment.","PeriodicalId":44427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Psychotherapy","volume":"31 1","pages":"157 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08975353.2020.1818500","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47701125","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 paper provides a scoping review of the literature on how couple’s therapists handle secrets in the context of couple’s therapy and discusses the ethical and clinical considerations in the context of the ethical standards of the AAMFT. Online databases were used to systematically identify peer-reviewed academic, English-language articles that focused on recommendations for therapists in handling secrets between couples in therapy. Seven articles met the search criteria. The empirical evidence supports a model of professional judgment, whereby the therapist can use their discretion about whether or not to disclose a secret on behalf of a client. To operate within the confines of ethical practice, we recommend therapists pair professional judgment with a clearly informed and signed written client policy.","PeriodicalId":44427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Psychotherapy","volume":"31 1","pages":"56 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08975353.2020.1759019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43153648","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}
