ABSTRACT Douglas Flemons’ The Heart and Mind of Hypnotherapy: Inviting Connection, Inventing Change provides a roadmap of the practice of relational hypnotherapy. The book combines theoretical knowledge with both self-guided experiential activities and transcripts of case illustrations to illuminate key concepts and bring the practice to life. The authors pay particular attention to Flemons’ discussion of the concepts of empathy and utilization as tools for novice therapists and seasoned clinicians alike to incorporate into their practice. Flemons’ book is accessible to MFTs or anyone seeking to practice hypnotherapy through a relationally-informed lens or with a systemic sensibility.

ABSTRACT Background Anxiety disorders during pregnancy are associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Internet-based emotion-focused cognitive behavior therapy (IECBT) with husband participation approach is an alternative treatment for treatment of mental disorders in pregnant women. The study aimed to compare the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of IECBT with husband participation. Method In a quasi-experimental study 68 pregnant women diagnosed with anxiety disorders were divided into IECBT with husband participation (n = 34) and IECBT alone (n = 34) and completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) and System usability scale (SUS) at baseline and eight weeks after the trial. Findings Results showed that acceptability and feasibility of CO-IECBT among women and their spouses were positive. Acceptability with indices, namely women’s satisfaction and average participation in sessions, was greater among IECBT with husband participation participants than among participants in IECBT alone. Feasibility was high for both therapy methods, and no significant difference was observed between the two groups. Conclusion This study suggests that both IECBT with husband participation and IECBT alone are effective treatments for mitigating psychological distress in anxious pregnant women.

ABSTRACT Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy (CMFT) and other psychotherapy literature acknowledge the importance of therapist self-awareness and self-knowledge and discuss many potential different ways to train the self of the therapist. However, there is no collective expert guidance in the current literature for self of the therapist training. Using a modified Delphi method, this study involved systematically surveying a panel of experts to gain consensus on some of the most important concepts, methods, benefits, and risks of self of the therapist training. The panel endorsed 112 items that focused on specific elements of self of the therapist work, benefits and risks of self of the therapist training, structure and setting of self of the therapist training, expectations for supervisors and trainers, and recommendations for ongoing self of the therapist work. Clinical implications for trainers and training programs are discussed.

ABSTRACT Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States and of this group, Chinese Americans represent the largest subgroup. Some scholars have speculated that more symptom-focused and directive psychotherapeutic approaches may be more congruent with Chinese Americans’ conceptualization of treatment than traditional Western modalities. Although these approaches may be more culturally appropriate and efficacious for some Chinese American clients, they presuppose that Chinese American clients have difficulties or an inability to express or communicate underlying emotional distress. As a consequence of this generalization, mental health therapists may assume that emotion-oriented psychotherapeutic approaches such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) will not benefit this population. Notwithstanding efforts to expand the relevance of EFT, there remains little research examining the cultural validity of EFT across cultural groups, particularly for Chinese American clients. In this article, we use the Cultural Lens Approach to assess the relevance and applicability of EFT for Chinese American individuals and couples. The aim of this article is to provide clinical direction for therapists using EFT with Chinese American clients and energize the field to conduct further research examining the relevance and applicability of psychotherapeutic approaches with this client group. Further, this article aims to combat stereotypes and Western notions of mental health, which may be limiting clinical and research perspectives on mental healthcare for Chinese Americans. This exploration comes at a time when Chinese Americans are at increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes due to race-based violence and discrimination observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
