ABSTRACT In the 21st century, the push and pull between localism and globalization define competing discourses. Social and political identities serve as external supports to a ‘symbolic universe’, a sense of belonging. Yet, today, social representations of an imagined homogeneous national entity are being challenged by mass immigration, refugee crisis and competing models of a global village. Within Person-Centered community discussions on diversity and identity, centering on both the client and the therapist is not uncommon. In our workshops and seminars about the representations of national identities of therapists and more precisely of Greek therapists, we have noted that there is an intense need for therapists to be aware of their own national identities in relation to discourses, stories as emotional narratives and hope for new national identities. As Greek and Person-Centered therapists, in becoming aware of and examining our own personal national narratives, we hope to begin to be active agents through the discussion of a global ethical community, a global politeia.

ABSTRACT Researches on emotion regulation have suggested that contextualizing a negative life event within a broader time frame, what is called impermanence focus, buffers its emotional impact. Does impermanence focus play an important role during the therapeutic process of clearing a space (CAS)? This study examined whether impermanence focus as a positive mediating variable between distancing and self-efficacy would significantly mediate distancing and self-efficacy. Eighty-nine undergraduate students participated in a questionnaire survey. Results showed that distancing was significantly and positively correlated with impermanence focus and self-efficacy. In addition, impermanence focus was positively correlated with self-efficacy. Mediation analysis revealed that impermanence focus significantly mediated the proposed link. This pattern did not change when social desirability scores were statistically controlled. The theoretical and practical implications of CAS are discussed.

ABSTRACT The ability to fully comprehend the mental experience of those suffering from psychotic symptoms can sometimes elude the empathic capabilities of therapists. Even the most experienced psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists have difficulty in dealing with, and understanding the strangeness of the symptoms and their full significance to those affected. Particularly the phenomenon of ego boundary disorders is difficult to compare with other comprehensible experiences due to the extreme level of alienation. Here, an attempt will be made to understand the disorders using psychological and philosophical models, and to reveal the problem in a way that makes a beneficial psychotherapeutic relationship possible. The empathic approach should not restrict itself to just understanding meanings, but must take into account the structural changes. An assessment oriented only on the surface of the symptoms runs the risk of disregarding the full scope of the disorder of those affected. It takes quite fundamental considerations to internal human structures and the concept of empathy in order to cope with the extent of the disorder.

ABSTRACT The current study is a qualitative, descriptive-interpretative study that utilizes an emotion-focused therapy (EFT) theoretical framework as the basis of interpretation of clients’ experiences of co-morbid anxiety and depression among three women with breast cancer. The study consists of analysis into the clients’ in-session presentation of their difficulties. The study uses a multiple case study observational qualitative design. In total, 18 video-recorded therapy sessions from 3 clients were used for analysis. Sessions were analyzed utilizing an EFT case conceptualization framework. Findings illustrate common themes across cases, organized within EFT conceptualization domains; these include triggers of emotional pain, such as hurtful relationships with close ones and cancer diagnosis/treatment; problematic self-treatment like self-blame and/or excessive worrying; global distress evidenced in the form of anxiety and depression symptoms; emotional and behavioral avoidance strategies such as interruption of emotions, self-distraction and avoidance of activities potentially triggering of painful emotions. The underlying core pain takes the form of sadness/loneliness, shame and fear, and points to corresponding unmet needs (e.g. to be loved, to be recognized, to be protected). The discussion focuses on presenting the findings in the context of psycho-oncology and EFT theory.

ABSTRACT Our objective is to introduce therapeutic intervention, in an EFT framework, with gender diverse people. We review research outlining mental health comorbidity, and some of the unique needs of this population. We understand risk and protective factors and intervention targets through the lens of minority stress theory. Proximal minority stress variables – internalized transphobia, expected rejection, and concealment stress – are reviewed. We outline extant and emerging treatments tailored to members of the transgender and gender diverse population experiencing minority stress. We focus specifically on the utility of EFT as a model for treating proximal minority stress variables and their associated underlying emotion schemes. We focus on adapting central EFT chair tasks to meet the unique needs of transgender and gender diverse clients experiencing minority stress. An illustrative example of the implementation of such is provided in the case of a young transfeminine client experiencing minority stress.

ABSTRACT Dynamic neurodevelopment occurs in the first months of human life and requires optimal environmental conditions to advance in a typical way. One of the most important determinants of this process is the stable availability of a safe and responsive caregiver. This provides the child with a facilitative context for solving naturally emerging developmental conflicts, namely conflicts between the need for intimacy and the need for autonomy. If this availability is provided, the child acquires both affect regulation abilities as well as the capacity for curiosity that leads to an independent exploration of novel environments. The child also develops the ability to mentalize and empathize with others from this context, which serves as a foundation for further satisfactory functioning in both the intrapersonal and interpersonal worlds. Early adversity in the form of restricted access to a responsive caregiver leads to abnormalities in the process of neurodevelopment that result in long-lasting emotional and behavioral problems. These problems can be understood as difficulties in processing experience. In this context, the present article will comment on the qualities of the therapeutic relationship that seem critical in work with people who experience difficulties in this area.

ABSTRACT Person-centered therapy’s cross-cultural relevance and nondirective stance have been doubted and challenged in counseling and social justice literature. In order to incorporate multiculturalism and social justice advocacy into effective and ethical practice, it is critical for person-centered counselors to be able to conceptualize, understand, and serve social justice issues through a person-centered lens. First, we present a brief overview of the person-centered dialogue related to multiculturalism and social justice advocacy in counseling. Then, we offer a conceptualization of several social justice-related issues impacting clients using person-centered terminology and philosophy in an effort to increase understanding. Lastly, we share perspectives on how person-centered counselors serve as social justice advocates within and outside of the direct counseling relationship. We incorporate multicultural, ethical, and legal considerations throughout the discussion.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to critically examine the axiom of Cooper and McLeod that the person-centered approach should incorporate pluralistic practices based on clients’ goals and wants. First, we examine Cooper and McLeod’s argument that the uniqueness of clients means that therapeutic work should orientate around helping clients to identify what they want and how to achieve it. Second, we examine their position that the theories that the therapist may hold about therapeutic change should be subordinate to the client’s specific wants and needs. Finally, we consider their assertion that there is a need to reconceptualize person-centered theory with a pluralistic framework. The person-centered approach has its own unique ontological position based on a trust in the actualizing tendency of all organisms. If by pluralism Cooper and McLeod are proposing ontological eclecticism, then this is fundamentally incompatible with the person-centered approach. In terms of method, the person-centered approach was already pluralistic; if this is what Cooper and McLeod mean by pluralistic, then what they are proposing is simply old wine in a new bottle.
