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 This mixed method study examined hope and depression among pandemic graduates using Locus of Hope Theory. Phase one examined the relationship of internal and external locus of hope dimensions on the depressive symptoms of 101 pandemic graduates through an online survey. Analysis revealed that 66.3% of the sample had moderate to severe levels of depression. Among the four dimensions, only internal hope was significantly associated with depression. Phase two involved 12 participants screened to have high hope scores. They were asked to participate in focus group discussions regarding their sources of hope. Despite the non-significant relationship between external loci of hope and depression in phase one, responses in the qualitative phase provided evidence for external sources of hope (family, peers, and spiritual being) during the pandemic. Practical implications are discussed.

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.

ABSTRACT The current study aimed to study the psychodynamic perspective of the association between conduct disorder and personality through the Draw a Person Test (Buck, 1969, 2006), a projective assessment tool, and the Conduct Disorder Scale (Gilliam, 2002). The sample comprised 86 respondents out of which 43 were juvenile delinquents and the rest were middle school students. The qualitative and quantitative findings are suggestive of feelings of shame, fear, depression, rule violation, deceitfulness, hostility, and aggression among juveniles delinquents. Withdrawal and guarded accessibility were also found in the juvenile sample.

Welcome to the Asia Pacific Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy! This is the second issue in 2022. In this issue, we have collected six inspiring articles from different Asian cultures: India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Korea. This issue mainly focuses on youth work, family factors and youth behaviours, and other research work involving Asian college students and one indigenous counselling practice. With Covid-19, more young people show a tendency towards psychological problems such as higher level of stress, depression, and anxiety (Liang et al., 2020). In Hong Kong, numerous young people became alienated from daily engagements and from their social life due to the suspension of face-to-face teaching and also due to social distancing and movement restrictions. Many young people have experienced multiple losses, including the loss of financial security, of physical contact with family members and social networks, of jobs, of pre-crisis ways of life and, with these losses, the diminishing of hopes and dreams for the future. In short, the loss of a sense of normalcy has been overwhelming for many (Walsh, 2020). Youth mental health issues have become alarming. Youth, including college students, were reported to have suffered from mental health threats and drops in family-related quality of life due to strong familial conflicts around political views (Shek, 2020). Thus, it is important for helping professionals and researchers to understand and support young people in their own countries and cultures. Understanding the core issues of young people is important before proceeding to offer effective counselling and therapeutic service to them. Besides verbal communication, projective drawing assessment is also a method for understanding more about clients, as it elicits their unconscious thoughts and feelings. It is particularly suitable for those with communication barriers, such as children and juveniles. Prakhar Bajpai, Nandita Chaube, and Abha Sharma employ projective assessment of juveniles’ drawings to investigate the relationship between conduct symptoms and personality. They explore clinical phenomena of juveniles within psychodynamic perspectives, offering insights that are helpful to juvenile counselling workers. Family has a lifelong influence on the growth and development of young people in their adaptation to their changing environments. Adolescence is a crucial stage where teenagers tend to differentiate themselves from their families. Problems in encountering and negotiating with family at this stage may lead to mental health issues. Udena Ruwindu Attygalle explores the themes that may cause deliberate self-harm in adolescents from the perspective of the family life cycle in the context of Sri Lanka. This study helps understand deliberate self-harm among adolescents in Sri Lanka through the lens of family perspectives.

欢迎收看《亚太咨询与心理治疗杂志》！这是2022年的第二期。在本期中，我们收集了来自不同亚洲文化的六篇鼓舞人心的文章：印度、斯里兰卡、香港、菲律宾和韩国。这一问题主要关注青年工作、家庭因素和青年行为，以及涉及亚洲大学生的其他研究工作和一项土著咨询实践。随着新冠肺炎的爆发，越来越多的年轻人表现出心理问题的倾向，如更高程度的压力、抑郁和焦虑（Liang et al.，2020）。在香港，由于暂停面对面教学，以及社交距离和行动限制，许多年轻人与日常活动和社交生活脱节。许多年轻人经历了多重损失，包括失去经济保障、与家庭成员和社交网络的身体接触、工作、危机前的生活方式，以及随着这些损失，对未来的希望和梦想越来越渺茫。简言之，对许多人来说，失去正常感是压倒性的（Walsh，2020）。青少年的心理健康问题已经变得令人担忧。据报道，由于围绕政治观点的强烈家庭冲突，包括大学生在内的年轻人受到心理健康威胁，家庭生活质量下降（Shek，2020）。因此，帮助专业人员和研究人员了解和支持本国和文化中的年轻人非常重要。在着手为年轻人提供有效的咨询和治疗服务之前，了解他们的核心问题很重要。除了口头交流，投射绘画评估也是一种了解客户更多信息的方法，因为它能激发客户的无意识思维和感受。它特别适合那些有沟通障碍的人，如儿童和青少年。Prakhar Bajpai、Nandita Chaube和Abha Sharma采用对青少年绘画的投射评估来调查行为症状与个性之间的关系。他们从心理动力学的角度探讨青少年的临床现象，提供有助于青少年咨询工作者的见解。家庭对年轻人适应不断变化的环境的成长和发展具有终身影响。青春期是一个关键阶段，青少年往往会将自己与家人区分开来。在这个阶段与家人见面和谈判时遇到的问题可能会导致心理健康问题。Udena Ruwindu Attygalle从斯里兰卡家庭生活周期的角度探讨了可能导致青少年蓄意自残的主题。这项研究有助于从家庭角度理解斯里兰卡青少年的蓄意自我伤害。《亚太咨询与心理治疗杂志2022》，第13卷，第2期，101-103https://doi.org/10.1080/21507686.2022.2108570

This is the second issue in 2022. In this issue, we have collected six inspiring articles from different Asian cultures: India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Korea. This issue mainly focuses on youth work, family factors and youth behaviours, and other research work involving Asian college students and one indigenous counselling practice. With Covid-19, more young people show a tendency towards psychological problems such as higher level of stress, depression, and anxiety (Liang et al., 2020). In Hong Kong, numerous young people became alienated from daily engagements and from their social life due to the suspension of face-to-face teaching and also due to social distancing and movement restrictions. Many young people have experienced multiple losses, including the loss of financial security, of physical contact with family members and social networks, of jobs, of pre-crisis ways of life and, with these losses, the diminishing of hopes and dreams for the future. In short, the loss of a sense of normalcy has been overwhelming for many (Walsh, 2020). Youth mental health issues have become alarming. Youth, including college students, were reported to have suffered from mental health threats and drops in family-related quality of life due to strong familial conflicts around political views (Shek, 2020). Thus, it is important for helping professionals and researchers to understand and support young people in their own countries and cultures. Understanding the core issues of young people is important before proceeding to offer effective counselling and therapeutic service to them. Besides verbal communication, projective drawing assessment is also a method for understanding more about clients, as it elicits their unconscious thoughts and feelings. It is particularly suitable for those with communication barriers, such as children and juveniles. Prakhar Bajpai, Nandita Chaube, and Abha Sharma employ projective assessment of juveniles’ drawings to investigate the relationship between conduct symptoms and personality. They explore clinical phenomena of juveniles within psychodynamic perspectives, offering insights that are helpful to juvenile counselling workers. Family has a lifelong influence on the growth and development of young people in their adaptation to their changing environments. Adolescence is a crucial stage where teenagers tend to differentiate themselves from their families. Problems in encountering and negotiating with family at this stage may lead to mental health issues. Udena Ruwindu Attygalle explores the themes that may cause deliberate self-harm in adolescents from the perspective of the family life cycle in the context of Sri Lanka. This study helps understand deliberate self-harm among adolescents in Sri Lanka through the lens of family perspectives.
