Transgender College Student Identity Development: A Narratology of Intermediating Experiences
Using a narratological framework, we examined how gender roles and stereotypes affect experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming college students. Six participants were interviewed about navigating their gender identity throughout college and adulthood. Four themes emerged: gendered attributes, within-group differences, identity development, and experiences in counseling. Themes are discussed in light of humanistic literature, and implications are discussed. (Source: The Journal of Humanistic Counseling)

Social existence is vital for any person's survival. Social existence theory relates to how individuals conceptualize their existence in a social world, learn from others, and communicate with others. We discuss constructivism, social learning, and the influence of language, as well as the influence of language on society's views of mental illness and the systemic nature of these views.

Confrontation: A Dialectical Humanistic Consideration
We describe a dialectical humanistic understanding of confrontation; highlight research about traits of effective confrontation; and describe the philosophical notion of dialectics as it pertains to counseling, human existence, and the practice of confrontation. We posit that dialectical humanistic confrontation is a vehicle for empowering clients to examine the tension of intrapersonal contradictions as a way to overcome barriers to self ‐fulfillment. A case study is used to illustrate how dialectical humanistic confrontation can be applied in practice. (Source: The Journal of Humanistic Counseling)

A Life Deliberately Lived: An Existential Portrait of Authenticity, Freedom, and Responsibility in Counseling
To contextualize the scholarship in this special issue, I argue that primary tenets of existentialism are transtheoretical in the counseling profession. Specifically, issues of authenticity, freedom, and responsibility to others are articulated as having shared heritage in existentialism. Deepening the well of existential scholarship can catalyze a renewed relationship between theory and practice. (Source: The Journal of Humanistic Counseling)
