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.

ABSTRACT Introduction As technology use becomes more and more popular, there is growing concern about how digital media use may be impacting relationships in a negative way. For example, when individuals become so engrossed in their phone use that they ignore those around them (known in this study as texting immersion). This can be damaging to relationships overall. However, mindfulness may be one solution to mitigating some of the negative implications of texting immersion. Using the Couple and Family Technology Framework, the aim of this study was to determine if mindfulness modifies the relationship between texting frequency and texting immersion. Additionally, this study looked to determine if particular components of mindfulness modified this relationship differently. Method Participants were either college students or adults recruited through undergraduate courses and Amazon MTurk (N = 915). Participants completed online questionnaires assessing mindfulness, texting frequency, and texting immersion. Results Mindfulness as a whole modified the relationship between texting frequency and texting immersion at both low and moderate levels of mindfulness. Additionally, the nonjudging component of mindfulness moderated the relationship as well (at low and moderate levels also). Conclusions & Clinical Implications Understanding how mindfulness modifies the relationship between texting frequency and texting immersion provides clinicians with information regarding how to mitigate negative outcomes associated with problematic texting behaviors. Clinicians may be able to offset some of the negative implications of texting immersion without necessarily requiring a decrease in the frequency of use. Specifically, clinicians can focus on the nonjudging component of mindfulness to help clients be less immersed in their texting behaviors.

ABSTRACT Few research studies have focused on what role social media has on mental health providers, specifically, family therapists. Social media’s impact needs to be addressed because it is increasingly affecting not only families and other clients but also family therapists, themselves. This study explored the potential impact of social media on marriage and family therapists. In this study, a survey, titled The Couple and Family Therapist Social Media Questionnaire was also developed and utilized. This survey was used to gather data about social media use by 232 family therapists. This survey explored four primary domains including 1) family therapists’ personal and professional use of social media, 2) family therapists’ comfort with technology, 3) family therapists’ risk taking as associated to social media use, and 4) implications for possible ethical violations regarding family therapists’ personal factors and social media use. Results from this survey as well as, related topics will be described in this manuscript.

ABSTRACT This study explores the relationship between therapist-client race/ethnicity matching on client treatment outcomes and whether other demographic factors contribute to treatment outcomes in a training clinic. An ANCOVA was conducted to examine the differences between race match and mismatch groups. A random forest algorithm was used to determine how racial matching conditions and other factors, such as gender, predict treatment outcomes. We found significant relationships between therapist-client race/ethnicity matching conditions and treatment outcomes for clients who received at least 10 sessions of therapy. However, results of the random forest algorithm indicated that race/ethnicity matching is one of the weakest predictors of treatment outcomes. Clinical implications and the limitations of the study are discussed.

ABSTRACT Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a theoretical approach that is considered widely effective in decreasing relationship distress among couples. Emotionally Focused Therapy uses deepening of the clients’ emotions to facilitate change to break negative interactional patterns within couple relationships. However, African American men have developed some behaviors and attitudes about emotions that may present challenges to them receiving Emotionally Focused Therapy. Some of those behaviors and beliefs include alexithymia and emotion ideologies which include restricting emotion based on their experience with societal stressors (e.g., race-based trauma, system racism). Given this emotional discrepancy, there are social and cultural considerations that need to be addressed between African American individuals in order to conduct effective couple work. This paper discusses emotional expressiveness and culturally sensitive approaches that EFT therapists will need to consider when counseling African American men in couples therapy.

ABSTRACT Immigration and forced migration have been on the rise globally because of a variety of political, social and economic factors. The association between forced migration and poor mental health is well documented, with many families and youth experiencing violence, loss of identity or status, racism, and discrimination. Despite these adversities, families and youth have leveraged individual and collective resources that have assisted in their integration, and overall well-being as they have acculturated to the United States (US). To explore the phenomenon of what refugee youth viewed as a healthy community during their transition to the US, a community based participatory research photovoice study was conducted with youth between 13-18 years of age. Through the photovoice process three main themes were identified by refugee youth that they felt were critical in making a healthy, thriving community, with thematic analysis revealing additional subthemes. Participants described how these themes were not only intertwined, but necessary for their social, emotional, and mental stability and the stability of members of their community. Implications regarding how to apply these results in both the clinical and human service fields are discussed.

ABSTRACT Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) is a much-needed and growing specialization in the United States and internationally, bringing attention to the relationship between acute and chronic illness and their reciprocal impact on couple and family systems. Despite the growth of MedFT and the growing body of research affirming its effectiveness in general, there remains a need for greater research demonstrating its effectiveness with specific medical conditions, such as pregnancy-related issues, namely infertility, racialized pregnancy, and pregnancy loss. Much of the research related to these losses leaves out at least two important populations impacted by these events – interracial couples and men. In this paper, we discuss the experiences of interracial couples, generally, and men, specifically, to: (1) draw attention to unique struggles faced by interracial couples, with special attention to cisgender male (cis male) partners’ experiences, (2) describe how MedFTs utilizing a systemic, relational, BPSS focus, are well-positioned to effectively work with interracial couples experiencing infertility, racialized pregnancy, and pregnancy loss, and (3) include a case example to illustrate how a MedFT might approach working with an interracial couple experiencing these struggles. Finally, we conclude by providing clinical recommendations and practical future directions for research in the areas of infertility, racialized pregnancy, and pregnancy loss, and discuss future MedFT training needs.

ABSTRACT Background: Globalization has resulted in the increase of interracial and interracial-international couple relationships around the world, some of whom also live with chronic illness. Despite growing positive attitudes toward interracial relationships, these couples experience multiple health disparities and disparate treatments compared to same-race couples. Aims: In this paper, we illuminate the general experience of interracial couples around the world to: (1) draw special attention to how sociocultural discourses influence them individually and as a couple; (2) highlight the disparities in equitable health care received by interracial couples; and (3) discuss how Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a useful framework for working with interracial couples with chronic illness and how it can be a larger training area in medical family therapy (MedFT) and its application to chronic health issues faced by couples. Method: We include a case example integrating EFT and the BPSS model to address the cross-cultural experiences and treatment needs of interracial couples struggling with a chronic illness experience. Discussion: Clinical recommendations include the necessity of multipartiality and self-of-the-therapist examinations alongside sociocultural assessment and culturally atuned treatment of interracial couples with chronic illness. Future directions include advocating for the expansion of EFT training in MedFT and chronic illness treatment. Graphical abstract

ABSTRACT Little is known about Couple/Marriage and Family Therapy (C/MFT) or Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) trainees with respect to their baseline perceptions about substance use and other systemically relevant therapeutic concepts integral to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Understanding trainee’s baseline perceptions upon entering a SUD-focused training program may allow for directed tailoring of the training to meet student’s educational needs in learning about how to work with families affected by SUD most effectively. To help address this gap, this study examined substance use perceptions of C/MFT and CMHC trainees upon initial enrollment in an opioid training program. Masters-level trainees completed a baseline survey assessing substance use/user perceptions, efficacy in working with substance-using clients, interprofessional collaboration, multicultural competency, and professional quality of life. Baseline data from n = 61 trainees were examined. Findings indicated substance use perceptions were related to trainee efficacy, multicultural competence, and professional quality of life. Further, there were group differences in drug perceptions based on previous substance use training and in trainee efficacy related to working with families affected by substance use, as well as and previous experience working with families affected by substance use. The current findings can inform development and refinement of substance use training within the behavioral health fields and develop the substance use workforce.
