ABSTRACT Suicide is a growing cause of death in the United States. Research shows that therapists who treat people who are struggling with suicidal ideation (SI) experience anxiety. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding around what it is like to work with clients with SI and what therapists do when working with clients who have SI. Data was collected from nine participants about the experiences of working with clients who were experiencing SI. Results indicated three major themes: (a) self-of-the-therapist issues, (b) issues relating to power, and (c) issues relating to treatment.

ABSTRACT Image-based sexual abuse is the non-consensual sharing of private sexual images or videos. Although image-based sexual abuse has been described in various forms, the appropriate, universal term should be ‘image-based sexual abuse.’ This term acknowledges image-based sexual abuse as a legitimate form of abuse and implies the need for specific treatment considerations. Image-based sexual abuse has allowed for the continuity of harm, violence, and abuse against individuals during and after the distribution of images. This paper explores current terminology, prevalence of the issue, dominant discourses, treatment implications, and self-care practices while focusing on the utilization of a feminist-informed narrative approach.

ABSTRACT This preliminary study of adolescent males in South Africa explores concepts surrounding gender relations that influence and perpetuate rape culture and the impact of male-centered rape prevention groups on these beliefs. Eight male only rape prevention groups were held at three schools with an estimated total of 260 youth aged 14 to 18 years. Group interviews and post-group surveys (N = 112) were conducted. The findings indicate that acceptance of gender inequality and rape are common amongst these adolescent males. At the conclusion of this rape prevention groups, the outcome questions indicated a positive trend of views toward women that infer the potential benefits of male-centered rape prevention interventions. Implications for rape prevention interventions are discussed.

ABSTRACT Recent studies demonstrating the prevalence of polyamory have highlighted the dearth of research on this topic in the mental health literature, and have increased the urgency to better understand the unique experiences and therapeutic needs of this population. We conducted a qualitative study of 20 individuals who identify as polyamorous via an online survey requesting information about special challenges faced by polyamorous people and suggestions for clinicians working with polyamorous clients. After conducting thematic analysis, two main themes emerged around special challenges: dealing with stigma and navigating polyamory. Recommendations for clinicians included: seek education, challenge your assumptions, and do not pathologize polyamory. Implications for the couple and family therapists and graduate training programs are explored.

ABSTRACT Gender and power impact heterosexual relationships immensely. Imbalanced power dynamics within a relationship can lead to challenges. This study seeks to examine the reported power dynamics in a therapeutic seeing of women within a heterosexual relationship. The aim of this study is to see if (a) women have more perceived power after five therapy sessions of therapy and (b) this perceived power influences relationship satisfaction. Results include women reporting greater equality in their relationship power dynamic after therapy sessions. This increase in perceived power also correlated with a higher relationships satisfaction.

ABSTRACT The research on the sustainability of aggressive relationships has yet to investigate the way the appraisal process to “settle” (satisfice) or to seek the best option (maximize) in our relationships affects commitment. The purpose of this study was to examine how those who are in aggressive relationships balance relationship commitment with the tendency to satisfice or maximize. Results indicate that satisficing and structural constraints were strongly associated with relationship commitment within aggressive relationships. Implications for practitioners with an emphasis on safety, the gendered nature of power in relational decision making, and various contextual factors are explored.

ABSTRACT Sexism in video games is present in pop culture. Female video game characters are sexualized, objectified, and made to seem less important as opposed to their male counterparts (Burgess, Stermer, & Burgess, 2007; Dill, Brown, & Collins, 2008; Dill & Thill, 2007; Martins, Williams, Harrison, & Ratan, 2009; Scharrer, 2004). We propose that marriage and family therapists use feminist family therapy to address video games’ sexist content as it relates to sexism within relationships, specifically through feminist family therapy principles of egalitarian relationships, power, women’s strengths, acceptance, and validation. Furthermore, we promote the multidisciplinary collaboration with marriage and family therapists and video game developers, industry professionals, and the gaming community to improve gender equality and reduce sexism within video games.

ABSTRACT Research suggests that the well-being of black girls is often neglected in schools and juvenile justice systems. Gender-responsive programs designed to serve black girls can be beneficial if they focus on developing strong relationships between girls and adults. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 10 black girls and 10 adults at a gender-responsive agency. Staff members and girls discussed the ways mentoring relationships developed at the agency. Themes emerged related to positive relationships (the development of positive relationships, integrity and trustworthiness, perceived support, and role modeling) as well as potential challenges/barriers (challenges to trust, perceived judgment, advice giving, and confidentiality).
