ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial general distress levels and unique recovery trajectories of clients who report eating and body image concerns. Data from 3,129 participants were evaluated using one-way analysis of covariance to evaluate differences in initial distress as measured by the Outcome Questionnaire–45, and hierarchical linear modeling to explore recovery trajectories. Clients with eating and body image concerns reported higher general distress at intake (Cohen’s d between 0.48 and 0.95) and were found to recover less quickly. They were also significantly less likely to reach clinically significant criteria for recovery (odds ratio [OR] = 0.69), less likely to achieve reliable positive change (OR = 0.77), and more likely to experience no change or deterioration (OR = 1.33 and OR = 1.29). A thorough initial eating disorder assessment is recommended to aid with treatment planning and addressing eating-disorder-specific symptoms directly and early.

Abstract The Standards of Care for Assessment in Group Work represent a collaborative effort between the Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC) and the Associaton for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW). The purpose of these standards is to address the distinctive aspects of group work assessment that group workers often overlook and may lead to ineffective or invalid assessment. Examples of these considerations include the overuse of one method of data collection (self-report) in group work assessment, the importance of using appropriate and culturally relevant assessments in groups with diverse members, and intentionally identifying the difference between assessing group process versus group outcomes. The committee’s goal was to develop standards that highlight the importance of pre-ferred practices in group work assessment and for counselors to use them in conjunction with other standards related to measurement and assessment in counseling.

Abstract The Standards of Care for Research in Group Work were developed in partnership between the Association for Assessment in Research in Counseling (AARC) and the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW). The purpose of these standards is to highlight empirically validated and literature-supported practices for conducting research in group work, as there are methodological and design considerations that are unique to group work research. These include, but are not limited to, small sample sizes that are often inherent in group work, the dependence of variables when measured in a group setting, historical lack of empirical rigor in group work research, and the need for theoretical and methodological congruence in qualitative research. During the development of this document, the committee used extant research standards to guide and center our efforts, and it was our intent for these standards to be used in conjunction with other established research standards. We also recognized the need to emphasize quantitative and qualitative research guidelines to encompass the importance of both types of research in the counseling field; and to highlight the importance of recognition and attention to concerns related to conducting group work research with participants from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.

Abstract This is a constructivist phenomenological study of client meaningful experiences in family counseling where researchers employed two post-session interviews with each family. The sample consisted of six participants (three families) who ranged in age from seven to 47. Participant racial/ethnic identities included five White and one biracial and gender identities included four female and two male. Findings revealed the following themes: (a) counseling sessions are a positive experience and something to look forward to, with subthemes counselor exhibits unconditional positive regard, differs in positive ways from previous counseling experiences and counselors, and play and mindfulness activities; (b) counseling is family focused, with subthemes counseling has strengthened the family bond and counseling has helped family identify strengths; and (c) counseling is a process, with subthemes collectively seeing improvement in child’s behavior, learning coping skills, and processing difficult subjects and emotions. Findings and implications for counselors are discussed.

Abstract With the increasing growth of diversity and attention to intersectionality within our society, it is more important than ever that counselor researchers intentionally use methods that underscore the complex people we seek to serve. The Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC), as a division of the American Counseling Association (ACA), is especially committed to promoting diversity through novel methodological avenues and frameworks. Moreover, the AARC Diversity Committee encourages researchers in the field of counseling, and counselor education and supervision, to expand their research praxis to embody inclusive, decolonized, and culturally sensitive research practices. Suggestions and implications for inclusive, decolonized, and culturally sensitive research practices within the scope of counseling research are included.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present a systematic review of the structural and psychometric properties of 20 Whiteness scales that relate to multiple dimensions of Whiteness (i.e., racism, antiracism, race essentialism, White racial identity, White racial consciousness, colorblind racial ideology, White privilege, psychosocial costs of racism, and White fragility). Furthermore, we identify the frequency of scale use and the 10 underlying theoretical assumptions upon which their development and validation are based. Findings indicate that while many of the underlying assumptions of Whiteness are shared across scales, there is great variation in scale development and validation procedures as well as concerns related to reliability estimates and norming procedures. We provide implications for counselor training and research to maximize the use of these scales as White counselors seek to engage in culturally competent practice.

Abstract Objective This study examined the association between parental perceived need for counseling or mental health care services and adolescents’ subgroups of anxiety and depression symptoms (Anxiety-only, Depression-only, Anxiety-Depression, and None). Method Adolescent sample (N = 20,486, M = 14.69 years old, SD = 1.69) was drawn from the National Survey of Children’s Health 2017–2018 (NSCH 2017–2018). A chi-square test was used to analyze the association between two categorical variables. Results The Chi-square test was statistically significant, Χ 2(6) = 7,914.33, p < .01, V = .44. Adolescents from the Anxiety-Depression group received counseling or mental health care the most (80.94%), while 69.03% of those in the depression-only group and 44.86% in the Anxiety-only group received mental health services. Conclusions Caregivers of adolescents with Anxiety-only tended to perceive the least need for counseling or mental health care, compared with those with depression or both, suggesting the need to enhance mental health awareness.
摘要目的探讨父母心理咨询或心理保健服务的感知需求与青少年焦虑和抑郁症状亚组(仅焦虑、仅抑郁、焦虑抑郁和无焦虑抑郁)之间的关系。方法从2017-2018年全国儿童健康调查(NSCH 2017-2018)中抽取青少年样本(N = 20,486, M = 14.69, SD = 1.69)。采用卡方检验分析两个分类变量之间的相关性。结果卡方检验差异有统计学意义，Χ 2(6) = 7,914.33, p < 0.01, V = 0.44。焦虑抑郁组青少年接受心理咨询或心理健康护理的比例最高(80.94%)，而抑郁组和焦虑组分别有69.03%和44.86%的青少年接受过心理健康服务。结论单纯焦虑青少年的照顾者对心理咨询或心理健康护理的需求较抑郁青少年或两者均有，提示需要加强心理健康意识。

Abstract Existing datasets can be especially useful in counseling outcome research. Institutional or governmental resources such as electronic medical, educational, social services, and criminal justice records hold valuable information about our clients’ lives (e.g. systemic issues, barriers to treatment, advocacy needs). Unfortunately, these datasets often exist in silos so tracking an individual across multiple datasets is a complex challenge. In this article, we describe our approach to linking individuals across an existing statewide K-12 student discipline database and a statewide juvenile justice database. We also describe data security safeguards and strategies for success utilizing archival data.

Abstract This study evaluated an academic counseling program called the University Turn Around Program (U-Turn) for college students experiencing mental health concerns and low academic achievement. Forty-three (27 men, 16 women) college students ranged in age from 18–25 years old (M = 19.65, SD = 1.46), with 29 freshman, eight sophomores, and six juniors. Thirty-four students identified as Hispanic (79%), two students identified as African American (5%), and seven students identified as White/Caucasian or other (16%). Depression, generalized anxiety, and academic distress were measured on the CCAPS-34, and anxiety, concentration, motivation, self-testing, and time management were measured on the LASSI-3. Paired samples t tests revealed statistically significant improvements for each measure that were characterized by medium to large effects (d = 0.55 to 1.18) but were not clinically significant. These results support the need for additional inquiries into the use of the U-Turn program’s inclusion in university counseling centers.
