ABSTRACT School counselling is not an isolated school-based intervention but rather as part of a more holistic social wellbeing system where there are many stakeholders. Studies have examined students’, school counsellors’, teachers’, and administrators’ perceptions of school counselling. Research that focuses on the perceptions of community counsellors of school counselling is rare. This paper reports on a quantitative survey study of community counsellors’ perceptions in Singapore. Findings indicate some expectations such as school counsellors could offer some family counselling and perceptions such as confidentiality could be strengthened in schools, were widely held among community counsellors. Findings also suggest deeper understanding of both school and community counsellors’ perceptions is needed to strengthen collaboration for better mental health support for children and youths.

ABSTRACT The Australian NRL’s State of Mind programme was evaluated; specifically, a 1.5-hour intervention for increasing knowledge of mental illness, reducing attitudinal components of mental illness stigma and increasing help-seeking propensity in a sample drawn from amateur rugby league clubs in Queensland. The National Rugby League (NRL) is the pre-eminent rugby league club competition in Australia and New Zealand. Participants, 16 years of age and older, completed a pre- and post-intervention survey capturing four mental illness knowledge measures, four attitudinal measures of stigma and one measure of help-seeking propensity. Results demonstrated that 1.5 weeks after intervention, the 1.5-hour targeted intervention associated with significant meaningful improvements in mental health knowledge, attitudinal components of mental illness stigma and help-seeking intention.

ABSTRACT Filipino psychologist Fr. Jaime C. Bulataosuggested that a shared collective consciousness allows for telepathy to occur. In the context of psychotherapy, telepathy may strengthen rapport between therapist and client, as well as enrich insight. This paper aims to describe and discuss a framework of Bulatao-inspired psychotherapy that integrates telepathy as part of the therapeutic practice. Thus, the paper asks the question: What does the Bulatao therapeutic process of telepathy look like? Descriptive phenomenology revealed four phenomenological structures: (a) Mental quietude and psychic openness; (b) Perceiving the client; (c) Receiving and reacting to telepathic stimuli; and (d) Anomalous insight. This paper has the potential to inspire a conversation with regard to the potential therapeutic uses of Bulatao’s transpersonal world view.

In this dynamic age, we live in a rapidly changing world characterized by globalization, the pace of which seems to continually accelerate. Multiculturalism has become normative as a result of globalization. Culture has various facets, from personal and interpersonal to familial, institutional, organizational, and communal; forming a multilevel system. A person’s culture can be defined by stage of life, gender, ethnicity, religion, social economic status, etc. It is the responsibility of mental health practitioners to develop sensitivity to cultural differences so that appropriate therapeutic approaches can be adopted to enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic outcomes. In light of this, it is crucial and necessary to draw attention to multicultural perspectives of counselling and psychotherapy. In this new issue, we bring together five insightful articles highlighting different therapeutic or psychoeducational approaches to supporting clients of different backgrounds. The issue begins with an article written by Claire Margaret Ryan, Campbell S Innes, Lee Kannis-Dymand, Jonathon Mason, and Geoff P Lovell, who investigate the efficacy of a psychoeducational programme for the members in community sports settings. Specifically, they assess whether a purposefully designed psychoeducational intervention can increase participants’ knowledge of mental illness, improve their attitude towards mental illness stigma, and encourage their help-seeking intentions. The positive outcomes suggest the potential of delivering brief psychoeducational programmes to the sports community as preventive interventions. Carl Lorenz G. Cervantes and Karina Therese G. Fernandez delineate and discuss a psychotherapy framework proposed by the Filipino psychologist Fr. Jaime C. Bulatao. His framework is guided by a Filipino worldview – transpersonal, emphasizing the perspective of shared collective consciousness and incorporating a conceptual model of telepathy into therapeutic processes. By interviewing licenced psychologists trained under Bulatao, the study explores the experience and phenomenological structures of telepathy in therapeutic settings. Schools are sometimes considered a microcosm of society, forming a unique culture. The remaining three articles are oriented upon school contexts. Tatsuto Yamada, Aya Sato, Yugan So, Kana Kobayashi, and Yashushi Fujii devote attention to the concern of absenteeism in elementary and middle schools. In particular, the authors systematically review assessments and techniques of cognitive-behavioural approaches to dealing with school absenteeism in Japan. They evaluate the cases in reviewed articles to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural approaches in ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY 2023, VOL. 14, NO. 1, 1–3 https://doi.org/10.1080/21507686.2023.2200270

ABSTRACT This study reviewed the literature on psycho-social treatments for reducing school absenteeism in Japan, particularly focussing on those featuring a cognitive-behavioural approach. To extract studies, we screened journals published by 52 academic societies that are members of the Union of the Japanese Psychological Association and reviewed relevant peer-reviewed papers. We consequently analysed 31 cases: 21 elementary school students and 10 junior high school students. We found that to effectively address school absenteeism in Japan, cognitive-behavioural approaches should feature a combination of two or more behavioural techniques. These findings may help Japanese practitioners, such as school counsellors, explain to clients the benefits of choosing cognitive-behavioural approaches, as well as the prospects for support.

ABSTRACT Triarchic model of grit (TMG) has conceptualized grit as individuals’ tendency to demonstrate perseverance of effort, consistency of interests, and adaptability to situations. Past studies demonstrated that TMG dimensions predict positive outcomes such as well-being and academic success. However, there is limited research demonstrating the role of social factors in TMG. The current study explored the associations of parenting styles and perceived filial piety with dimensions of grit in Hong Kong undergraduate students. Results showed that only authoritative parenting style positively predicted adaptability to situations. This study underscores the role that parenting plays in sustained motivation to accomplish long-term goals.

ABSTRACT In recent decades, mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to be a very effective and economical approach in treating psychological disorders, with the literature from studies in the Western world, . On the other hand, mindfulness interventions in the Philippine context are just beginning, with limited studies published regarding its efficacy. This study is one of the first exploratory investigations on the potential of mindfulness-based strategies for young Filipino sample. Findings suggest that an adapted mindfulness based cognitive therapy approach on a college population can bring changes in the areas of stress, depression, anxiety, and over-all psychological well-being. This study suggests that mindfulness interventions might be a cross-culturally effective approach and leads the way for more studies within the Filipino context.

ABSTRACT This paper presents STAT Protocol, which is an interview protocol or a self-reflection tool for differentiating typology of mental health concerns in statistics-related experiences. The main objective of the tool is to adopt clinical interview procedures for finding out typology of four mental health concerns including depression, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and stress-related adaptation syndrome. Based on network analysis of interview transcripts on statistics related experiences, relationship of the variables including procrastination, prior mathematics performance, difficulty in understanding formulas, and the four mental health concerns were analysed. The STAT Protocol comprises 18 checkpoints (yes/ no questions) under 6 different domains (specificity, depression, anxiety, stress, state-anxiety, and academic concerns). The implications of STAT protocol are illustrated with case studies.

ABSTRACT This study proposes a counselling frame based on Buddhist ontological soteriology, rooted in the Four Noble Truths, derived from related doctrines in early Buddhism and the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. The frame is based on the main Buddhist doctrine on suffering that the Buddha emphasized– helping people in need to comprehend the nature of the person and personal identity, psychological mechanisms of dysfunction, a path to resolution, and employing skilful-meansto resolution– by clearly providing them with descriptive information and aguide on how to practice contemplation based on the presented information. The counselling frame suggested in the study aims to explore the pilot idea of applying Buddhist primary doctrines to suffering and its resolution for both the professionals and the clients.

ABSTRACT Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH) among adolescents is a frequent reason for Emergency Department admissions. Many studies that have considered the risk factors for DSH, mainly from a psychiatric standpoint. However, looking at it from a family life cycle perspective is also important. This study discusses the contribution of systemic themes such as differentiation of self to events leading up to DSH. Of the 24 adolescents presenting with first time DSH without any psychiatric disorder in a 12-month period, 16 were triggered by conflicts with parents and 8 due to conflicts with romantic partners. A struggle with differentiation of self was the major systemic theme. Brief intervention strategies that consider these systemic issues and help both the adolescent and the family are likely to be of benefit.
