For some, however, gaming can become problematic. While evidence exists for the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy for gaming disorder (GD), a major challenge is that adolescents and young adults, particularly males, are often reluctant to seek help and engage long term with a mental health practitioner. This report presents a case involving brief parent-delivered contingency management for a 19-year-old male with GD who refused to engage with treatment services following a significant decline in functioning and a high-lethality suicide attempt. This approach led to a substantial reduction in gaming time, as well as related gains in self-care and independence. This case highlights the value and feasibility of developing a therapeutic alliance with a parent to manage excessive gaming behaviours among treatment-refusing individuals with GD. Practical challenges and associated lessons from managing this case are discussed.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Brief parent-delivered contingency management was implemented for a 19-year-old treatment-refusing male with GD.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>This approach led to a substantial reduction in the young man's gaming time as well as related gains in areas of self-care and independence at 6-month follow-up.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>This case highlights the value and feasibility of developing a therapeutic alliance with a parent to manage excessive gaming behaviours among treatment-refusing individuals with GD.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 3","pages":"370-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45917195","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 single case study answers this question, presenting a semantic analysis inspired by Ugazio's model of family semantic polarities. The analysis was carried out by applying the family semantic grid II to 140 min from three video-recorded and transcribed sessions with the couple. The result suggests that the misunderstandings and disappointments that fed the couple's conflict were connected with the lack of semantic cohesion within the couple. They constructed meanings during the therapeutic conversation using two different semantic worlds: the semantics of power and of freedom. The analysis also suggests some possible strategies to overcome the couple's conflict, and raises some questions about how to address racial differences during therapy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>An intercultural couple's bitter conflict is clarified by a semantic analysis (SA) which highlights the couple's low semantic cohesion.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>The SA suggests focusing on the emotions – shame and courage – underlying the partners' dominant semantics – power and freedom – and anchoring the meanings to all the family members.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Therapists should address ‘race’ and racism with intercultural couples, even if such conversations do not emerge spontaneously in their narrated stories.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 1","pages":"56-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44073708","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 study explores the experiences of three Muslim community leaders who completed two years of systemic training as part of an innovative project in an inner-city area. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), resulting in the emergence of three themes: (i) the self of the systemic practitioner, (ii) experience of systemic training and (iii) application in the community. Participants recognised that most systemic principles and interventions were complementary to religious constructs and could be applied in their community work.

Drawing upon systemic and anthropological constructions of culture, suggestions are made for practice that is more questioning of the barely conscious or unconscious assumptions made by the therapist, which can then lead to open scrutiny of these assumptions.

Rather than suggest settler colonialism was an historic event, I consider how it continues today, privileging white families of European descent. To move the conversation forward on how white therapists from majoritised cultures can engage with racialised clients, I describe the negotiated spaces as a meeting ground where therapists and clients navigate differing worldviews.
