ABSTRACT Collaborating with parents is an important skill set for school-based mental health professionals. While school districts expect school psychologists and school counselors to facilitate family-school collaboration, most receive little training in family counseling and systems theory in their graduate programs. School psychologists and school counselors could benefit from resources that demonstrate how to use a family systems approach in a school setting. This article uses a single case study to illustrate how school-based mental health professionals can use brief family counseling to address anxiety and school avoidance. The article describes a family systems approach and interventions such as reframing, subsystems work, consultation, and encouraging gradual progress.

ABSTRACT Raising a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can have negative effects on the parents’ emotional wellbeing, along with their marital relationship. Although there is some information on the treatment of parents, there is a lack of research investigating how the process of change occurs during couples therapy. The current study interviewed five couples, raising a child with ASD, who received Solution-Focused Brief Couples Therapy (SFBCT). A grounded theory approach was used to understand the process of change for couples receiving six sessions of SFBCT. Through the use of constructivist-grounded theory methodology (GTM), a theory was constructed on the experience of change perceived by participants. The results indicate the importance of both the therapists’ and clients’ process of change during therapy.

ABSTRACT The self of the therapist is an important component of marriage and family therapy training and treatment outcomes. There are several training exercises that focus on developing the self of the therapist, but limited literature on role-plays that center on self of the therapist training. This article provides recommendations for trainers that wish to focus marriage and family therapy role-plays on the self of the therapist. It also includes several examples that illustrate supporting the development of self-awareness and effective use of self through self-reflection and attention to the cultural context of both therapists and clients.

ABSTRACT Historically, hope has been studied from a cognitive, not experiential, lens and rarely from an attachment perspective. The aims of this research were to explore how couples experience hope when using a reflecting team (RT) as part of their counseling process as well as if their experience of hope differed based depending on their attachment style. To examine these questions, couples (n = 13) completed attachment measures as well as participated in interviews assessing their experience of hope in relation to the reflecting team. The research was methodologically directed by interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which draws on the participants’ meaning-making of the reflecting team process. Participants’ attachment strategies impacted which interventions used by the reflecting teams were most relevant and powerful in inducing hope.

ABSTRACT This paper discusses supervision through a structural family therapy (SFT) lens. SFT aims to alter dysfunctional patterns in exchange for healthy interactions by creating clear hierarchies and boundaries. Families are organized by hierarchies; within this structure, it is common for parents and older adults to be at the top. This mirrors supervision as traditionally the more experienced and higher licensed clinicians are at the top. This paper conveys how clinical supervisors can train, educate, and support while establishing a hierarchical position allowing for isomorphic and bidirectional growth. Additionally, this paper introduces an intervention utilizing hierarchies to address privilege and power.

ABSTRACT The Whole Name Exercise is a self of the therapist training strategy designed to highlight the significance of family history and culture in the everyday lived experiences of the participants. This activity can facilitate self-reflection, group bonding, and play an important role in demonstrating values of equity and social justice. This article provides background on the significance of names, including historical and modern-day practices of dehumanizing people through naming and renaming practices. The Whole Name Exercise is described and suggestions to enhance the facilitation of the activity are discussed. Finally, two esteemed colleagues share the stories and significance of their names by responding to the questions in the exercise.
