Counseling interventions for victims of intimate partner violence: A systematic review
AbstractIntimate partner violence is a serious public health problem with significant implications for the mental health and well-being of victims. Therefore, we sought to critically review research on counseling interventions for victims to inform counselors ’ work and identify areas of need for future research. We used the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocols to identify articles from 2000 to 2022 that investigated the impact of counseling interventions on the mental health and safety of victims. Four themes em erged: (1) participant demographics, (2) treatment modality, (3) inte...

A meta ‐analysis of supervisee attachment style and the supervisory relationship
AbstractAttachment theory has been used to explain supervisee/supervisor bonding in clinical supervision, but research on these constructs has been mixed. To test the extent to which supervisee attachment strategies relate to the supervisory relationship, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of 19 published research studies on supervisee attachment from 1998 to 2022. Supervisee attachment strategies produced a small but statistically significant effect on the supervisory relationship (R2 = 0.052). We discuss this finding in the light of previous mixed results, including that the supervisory relationship may not be chara...

Novice school counselors ’ countertransference management on emotional exhaustion: The role of daily emotional processes
AbstractThe present study aimed to examine the role of daily emotional processes in the relationship between countertransference (CT) management and emotional well-being in novice school counselors. We collected data for 7 consecutive days from 305 novice school counselors in South Korea. Multilevel mediation analyses revealed that novice school counselors with low CT management ability were less likely to be aware of their emotions, increasing their daily emotional exhaustion. In contrast, novice school counselors with a high level of CT management ability were more likely to engage in daily decentering and, in turn, were...

Antiracist school counseling: A consensual qualitative study
AbstractSchool counselors have a unique role as frontline advocates and change agents who work toward addressing systemic inequities within K-12 education (Placeres et al., 2022). Racism is the systemic prioritization of Whiteness as the standard of humanness, success, and well-being. School counselors are responsible for resisting racism in the support of the wellness of all students. This consensual qualitative study examined the question,what is antiracist school counseling? Four focus groups (N = 17) were conducted within the School Counseling Interest Network (SCIN), a subgroup of the Association for Counselor Educa...

Synthesis of the Eating Disorder Inventory ‐Third Edition (EDI‐3) psychometric characteristics: Implications for counseling practice and research
AbstractAuthors reviewed 129 studies published between 2004 and 2020 using the Eating Disorder Inventory-Third Edition (EDI-3). Internal consistency (α) for the total score was 0.888 and 0.693 –0.947 across all subscales. Convergent validity yielded robust, mostly large correlations for the three main scales, spanning five eating disorder instruments. Structural validity studies supported important EDI-3 components for White women, but not for racial/ethnic minorities. Only one diagnost ic validity study was located, and given that the EDI-3 is used to help screen for and identify eating disorders, more diagnostic valid...

Assessing the social determinants of mental health in counseling practice
AbstractEvery counselor –client interaction is an opportunity for mutual learning through inquiry, listening, exploring, and understanding about a client's experiences with development and well-being. Given the convergence of multiple sociopolitical events and systems that impact mental health and well-being, we issue a call to increase promotion and uptake of preventative mental health strategies by assessing the social determinants of mental health (SDMH) in counseling practice. We contend that counselors are uniquely prepared to assess the SDMH at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental levels. There fore,...

Cultural humility and cultural competence in counseling: An exploratory mixed methods investigation
AbstractUsing an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, we investigated the relationship between cultural humility (CH) and cultural competence (CC), two concepts that have been widely discussed in the multicultural counseling literature. We first adopted a thematic analysis to explore how 14 experienced counselor educators perceived the CH –CC relationship and identified three preliminary themes. Then, we utilized quantitative analyses to test the hypotheses derived from the qualitative themes, based on a sample of 434 adults who received mental health services. Both qualitative and quantitative results s...

Policy effects of the expansion of telehealth under 1135 waivers on intentions to seek counseling services: Difference ‐in‐difference (DiD) analysis
AbstractPracticing counselors swiftly shifted to telehealth after insurance payers changed their policy to cover telehealth counseling under the expansion of telehealth with 1135 waivers, which has led to concerns over the policy effects on clients ’ continuing counseling service-seeking intentions. To determine if this shift to telehealth was associated with a change in clients’ counseling service-seeking intentions while adjusting for unmeasured confounders and time trends, we performed a difference-in-difference analysis (a quasi-experi mental design) to compare changes between the client (treated) and non-client (c...

Wellness and well ‐being in counseling research: A 31‐year content analysis
AbstractTo examine wellness and well-being research in professional counseling journals, we completed a comprehensive 31-year content analysis of counseling research within 25 counseling journals. Of the sample of 374 publications that met the search criteria, wellness publications accounted for 222 (59.4%) of the articles, and well-being publications accounted for 152 (40.6%) of the articles. The authors examined publication patterns, topics, theoretical frameworks, and research methodologies within wellness and well-being counseling research.

Black women's help ‐seeking and self‐care strategies: A phenomenological exploration
AbstractWithin counseling and other mental health disciplines, Black women are underserved, psychologically misdiagnosed, and one of the least researched minoritized cultural populations. We used a hermeneutic phenomenological study to understand the lived experiences of 16 Black women who experienced mental health stress to understand their mental health needs, barriers to mental health care, and help-seeking and self-care practices. Findings included the following four themes: perspectives on oppression on mental health, socio-cultural messages about self-care and help-seeking, perspectives about self-care, and perspecti...

Meta ‐analysis of culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression
AbstractIn this meta-analysis, we synthesized 42 between-group studies (N = 4114) evaluating the effectiveness of culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy (CA-CBT) on reducing depression and anxiety severity when compared to waitlist/control groups and active alternative treatments. Separate random-effects meta-analyses revealed moderate-to-large effect sizes in favor of CA-CBT on depression and anxiety when compared to active alternative treatments and waitlist/control groups. Independent random-effects models revealed evidence of publication bias and indicated influential moderating effects on anxiety. Implication...

Vocational rehabilitation counselor burnout profiles and mindfulness
AbstractBurnout of vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors can not only lead to decreased job satisfaction and turnover but also damage the quality of VR services provided to clients with disabilities. It is an ethical obligation for VR counselors to engage in self-care practices to prevent burnout. The current study surveyed 147 VR counselors from two State VR agencies about their current level of burnout and mindfulness related facets. Based on the latent profile analysis, four unique counselor burnout profiles were identified. These were well-adjusted-counselor, type I preserving-counselor, type II preserving-counselo...
