Abstract More than 1 in 3 women in the United States experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and many of them develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma-sensitive yoga (TSY), a structured, body-oriented yoga practice, has been reported for its potential to ameliorate PTSD symptoms. The purpose of the study was to examine adult female IPV survivors’ experiences of recovery from IPV and trauma as facilitated by an 8-week TSY intervention using a collective case study research design. Participants ages 26 to 52 from diverse ethnic backgrounds participated in the study’s 4 phases. Measures used include the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale–5, Subjective Units of Distress Scale, pre- and post-interviews, and observations. Analyses reflected a moderate change in participants’ PTSD scores attributed to the TSY intervention. Collective themes that emerged include physiological, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Although exploratory, the study illuminates the potential efficacy of TSY for facilitating multifaceted trauma recovery.

Abstract Intersectionality has emerged as a notable tool of analysis in conceptual and empirical research targeting outcomes of diversity, equity, and social justice. Unified with the philosophy of counseling approaches, intersectionality operates as an approach intuitive to the strengths-based and wellness models underscoring counseling research. Due to their complexity, intersectionality and counseling can substantially benefit from mixed-methods and multimethod approaches to navigate multiple forms of data and contextualize complex intersectional phenomena. This article describes a rationale for the importance and promise of integrating intersectionality into counseling research through related approaches.

Abstract Mixed methods research has the ability to help explore the complex contexts and experiences of individuals within counseling, which in turn will enhance our understanding of evidence-based treatments. Mixed methods research can answer the what, when, and how questions that are important in implementing effective interventions. Yet, given the complexity of mixed methods research, it can easily be implemented incorrectly, limiting its application. Integral steps to conducting mixed methods research include determining a theoretical lens, selecting methodologies, and determining integration procedures in sampling strategies, data analysis, or interpretation of results. Using mixed methods research to better understand the impact mental health professionals have with the clients and students they serve can surpass using quantitative or qualitative methodologies in isolation.

ABSTRACT Many college students struggle with symptoms of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that might affect their academic performance and overall well-being. This study sought to investigate the effects of a neurofeedback (NF) training protocol on college students’ ADHD symptoms scores. Eleven college students with ADHD diagnoses were provided 16 sessions of NF and were assessed over the course of 8 weeks during the intervention as well as at a 4-week follow-up. Improvements were identified in levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and ADHD self-concept, over time, with no significant changes identified in impulsivity.

ABSTRACT Counselor training clinics provide a valuable resource for low- or no-cost counseling for the community. The purpose of this study was to conduct a single group program evaluation. Participants included 79 clients who attended at least 5 consecutive sessions. Paired sample t tests compared pretest and posttest mean scores of the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and Session Rating Scale (SRS). One-way analyses of variance assessed for changes in the ORS scores based on client ethnicity or gender. Results included a statistically significant change in ORS and SRS scores after a minimum of 5 counseling sessions. Implications for counselor educators and clinic directors are further discussed.

ABSTRACT Profile analysis is a multivariate data analysis technique used to examine performance on tests, subtests, or scores by identifying profile pattern and shape. In this article, we provide a conceptual overview of profile analysis, highlight its utility to both counseling researchers and practitioners, and describe a general step-by-step procedure to conducting profile analysis using a counseling outcome-specific illustration. Best practice decision-making recommendations are provided at each step. Implications for counselors, counseling researchers, and counselor educators are provided.

ABSTRACT A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess the factor structure of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL–5) in a non-Western sample (N = 444) of former refugees and internally displaced persons (317 men, 128 women) who had experienced a 10-year civil war in Liberia. The 7-factor hybrid model demonstrated superior fit to the sample when compared to internal structures represented by 4- and 6-factor models depicting posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Implications for counseling outcome research are provided.

ABSTRACT Q Methodology is a research method that focuses on systematically exploring individuals' subjective viewpoints. Q Methodology contains both quantitative and qualitative components and involves the exploration of an individual's internal and subjective viewpoints, opinions, and attitudes, proving to be particularly relevant for counselors who are interested in human thoughts and behaviors. This article outlines the philosophical roots of Q Methodology, along with the practical steps of implementing a Q study. An overview of the potential uses of Q Methodology in counseling research and practice is provided.

ABSTRACT This study qualitatively explored how multicultural and social justice counseling training affected self-development during field work. Nine high school students and 15 school counselor trainees engaged in postinterviews following completion of school counseling practicum field work. Directed and conventional qualitative content analyses revealed growth in high school students' personal and academic development. High school students described appreciation for asset-oriented counseling to promote academic perseverance and self-direction. School counselor trainees described growth in self-awareness, culturally relevant counseling skills, and emerging advocacy skills. Implications for school counselor educators are described that explore the impact of multicultural and social justice counseling competencies training on counseling relationships and cultivating youth development.
