This study explored the consumer-reported communication patterns between rehabilitation professionals and ethnically diverse clients who are parents of children with developmental disabilities. Informants were Korean American mothers ( n = 10) of children with developmental disabilities ( n = 10) who were receiving services from a community rehabilitation agency. Interview data were collected and thematically analysed. The findings suggest that Korean American mothers were not likely to openly discuss possible options for their children with their rehabilitation counsellor. About 60% of participants stated that they worked with at least one counsellor whose communication they felt was ineffective. The findings of this study are congruent with the previous research findings that Koreans emphasize e harmonious relationships. Multicultural competences are important for counsellors with culturally and linguistically diverse clients.

This article uses a descriptive case study design to examine the potential of narrative therapy as a direct intervention for adults with moderate-tosevere intellectual disabilities, autism and/or severe communication limitations. Archival clinical data on four individuals who received a form of social constructionist narrative therapy are examined for goal attainment. The data were analysed qualitatively with specific input from individuals, their families and carers. Findings indicate improvements in quality of life through reductions in situational and environmental anxieties, and in coping with grief and loss. The results suggest that narrative therapy techniques can be beneficial in assisting individuals with severe intellectual disability to achieve meaningful and persistent improvements in their life.

This study highlights lessons learnt from establishing a new recovery-focused inpatient rehabilitation unit in a typical regional city of New South Wales. We have learnt that the most important aspects are recruitment, retention and training of dedicated staff and a belief that recovery is possible. Strategies employed to meet the challenges of integrating a recovery-based practice into this type of setting may be transferable to other new services or existing services of a similar nature. We have provided a summary of standard outcome measures reflecting the performance of the unit for the first 2 years of functioning.

This article explores the relevance of Carl Rogers' person-centred approach (PCA) to rehabilitation counselling. His major theoretical contribution concerning the primacy of the client's actualising tendency and the six 'core conditions' of the counsellor-client relationship deserves greater recognition in vocational rehabilitation. The most widely known and researched core conditions have focused upon the proverbial triad: congruence (genuineness), unconditional positive regard and empathy. However, all six core conditions are discussed with emphasis placed on recent refinements to Rogers' original theory and their importance to rehabilitation counselling. Evidenced-based research concerning the impact of PCA-oriented rehabilitation counselling is lacking. It is argued that the efficacy of PCA can be extrapolated from metaanalyses in other fields of psychotherapy and education.

The purpose of this short note is to report an error in Athanasou and Kaufmann (2010) Table 4 (p. 81). This was noted when preparing data for a comparison in a follow-up study. Data columns for the predictive accuracy of a cue and the predictive accuracy of a judgement were inadvertently transposed by the first author. The probability of each cue correctly identifying the quality of life and the rehabilitation counsellor’s judgement are now summarised in Table 1. The revised results for Table 4 indicate that using any one of five cues would have provided the expert with at least 54% accuracy in correctly identifying the quality of life and not 83.7% as indicated. Instead satisfaction with personal relationships was used most (83.7%) of the time by the counsellor and by itself had a 62% probability of correctly identifying whether quality of life was rated as good or poor. The overall conclusion (2010, p. 82) of the paper remains unchanged, namely that the counselling expert in the study was correct in 64.8% of cases and displayed clinical judgment accuracy but that a simpler decision-making heuristic could still have been used. As noted in the article at page 78, the complete dataset still remains available upon request and any inconvenience is regretted.

This article discusses multicultural competency education options for early career rehabilitation counsellor supervisors. It specifically addresses the importance of the cultural awareness and competencies in supervised supervision. Multicultural counsellor competencies in clinical supervision are considered in the context of rehabilitation counsellor professional preparation programs in the United States. Diversity considerations are important to operationalising the construct of the working alliance in the context of clinical supervision training for early career rehabilitation counsellor supervisors. Acquiring, retaining and cultivating multicultural clinical supervision competencies in self and others is a lifelong process.

On November 22, 2010, Trevor Hawkins died suddenly and unexpectedly of complications from a cerebral haemorrhage. He is survived by his partner, Sandra and their son, William. His loss has deeply affected all who knew him, had worked with him and had been taught by him. Trevor was born in 1951 and grew up in Kulnura, inland from the Central Coast of New South Wales. He moved to Sydney in order to undertake a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Psychology. He graduated from the University of Sydney in 1974.
