ABSTRACT Up to half of clients in psychotherapy do not return after their initial session, and clients in family therapy are more likely than those in individual therapy to terminate after the first session. Recent research has identified six therapist-related conditions in the family therapy session that have influenced client decisions to continue after the first session. This article reports the findings of a review of the professional literature aimed at operationalizing the six therapist-related conditions by identifying specific family therapist actions that can be deliberately applied during initial family therapy sessions to increase the chances that client families will return.

ABSTRACT Research has indicated that families affected by Human Immunodeficieny Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome benefit from family counseling services; however, little is known about the perceptions that future counselors have about Human Immunodeficieny Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and its effect on counselors and the families they serve. A descriptive content analysis of responses by 111 master’s level counseling students revealed challenges perceived to confront families living with Human Immunodeficieny Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome: psychological health, interpersonal and systemic changes, healthcare cost, and stigma. Additionally, participants’ indicated that they believed counselors would face challenges associated with knowledge and beliefs, Human Immunodeficieny Virus stigma, grief, empathy, and resources and support. Implications for family counseling and counselor preparation are also discussed.

ABSTRACT This article discusses a case study implementing a manualized financial therapy intervention in an online setting. The benefits of financial therapy are discussed, and the pros and cons of online therapy are contrasted. A description the intervention is provided. At the conclusion of the intervention, the client and other family members reported satisfaction with this form of therapy. Using financial therapy in an online format may help reduce the service barriers that are often encountered by requiring therapy sessions to be conducted in-person, thus providing wider access to low-income clients who are most in need of these types of interventions.

ABSTRACT The popularity of forgiveness in clinical contexts may lead some to believe it is a panacea for all interpersonal problems across a multitude of contexts. Yet some research has found that forgiveness may not, in every circumstance, influence adjustment in a favorable manner. This article highlights problems when forgiveness is conceptualized as a requirement in clinical practice. It addresses the implications for requiring forgiveness in certain circumstances and encourages the therapist and client to more fully consider circumstances in which forgiveness may be contraindicated. We make the case for properly using the concept of forgiveness in therapy and describe a new set of conditions that must be met within the individual psyche for forgiveness to be in place. Two case examples are presented.

ABSTRACT Process research is important in the marriage and family therapy field, specifically process research with client participants. Process research is typically conducted in treatment-as-usual conditions. Clinically applicable research has been identified to narrow the gap between research and practice. In the present conceptual paper, we provide specific recommendations to beginning process researchers for collaborating with community agencies to sample therapy clients. We present practical strategies for reducing participant and researcher burden and fostering collaboration among clinicians and researchers that are specific to conducting process research in community agency settings with client participants. Finally, we discuss implications for narrowing the research practice gap.

ABSTRACT Healthy Balance is an obesity-prevention group intervention program that promotes physical wellness for family systems by motivating them to make healthy lifestyle changes to their eating and activity levels together as a unit. The researchers conducted 19 qualitative interviews with caregiver intervention participants and healthcare providers to explore perspectives on the program, health, and lifestyle change processes. Themes emerged around improving physical wellness for young families, health change processes, and experiences with the family-based group intervention. Caregivers reported that they believed interventions focusing on improving the health literacy and behavioral change for the whole family to be more beneficial. Family systems theoretical concepts were supported through participants’ perspectives that detailed how intervening with the whole family can not only lead to physical health behavior changes, but also enhance family connection and quality time.

ABSTRACT Attachment-based family therapy is an empirically supported, manualized treatment spanning over 15 years of research and clinical practice. Increasingly, research and clinical evidence emphasize the modification of family therapy models to meet the needs of diverse clients. Best practices require culturally-sensitive therapists to attend to issues of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, class, and ability. The ABFT model has been evolving to address the health disparities associated with marginalization and attend to the specialized needs of diverse families. This clinical case study demonstrates how ABFT clinicians must adopt an intersectional approach to be successful in building and sustaining relational repair. Transcripts from a case with a religious, African-American family and their bisexual daughter outline the structure and sequence of ABFT. An analysis of this case illustrates the impact of intersectionality on clinical processes and mechanisms of change.

ABSTRACT The Person of the Therapist Training (POTT) model developed by Harry J. Aponte was introduced first in the academic setting of Drexel University’s Master of Family Therapy Program in 2002. Prior to Drexel, the model had been applied only in the private sector with postgraduates. This article describes the vision of the then Department Chair Marlene F. Watson and the process of branding the POTT model.
2002年，哈里·j·阿庞特(Harry J. Aponte)在德雷塞尔大学(Drexel University)家庭治疗硕士项目的学术环境中首次引入了治疗师培训(POTT)模型。在Drexel之前，这种模式只适用于拥有研究生的私营部门。这篇文章描述了当时的系主任Marlene F. Watson的愿景和POTT模式的品牌化过程。

ABSTRACT The Person-of-the-Therapist Training (POTT) model has been developing and evolving since the late seventies. The current study explored the relationship between the personal self-of-the-therapist and the professional self-of-the-therapist within the POTT. A directed content analysis of the 18 trainees’ final reflection papers at the end of a 9-month POTT was conducted. Findings suggest that even though the training’s goal is improving trainees’ ability to use their selves in therapy, changes in the therapist’s self appear to expand to other areas in the therapist’s life. Thus, the road to becoming a more effective therapist goes through personal changes, specifically self-awareness and the acceptance of one’s own struggles and imperfections. Implications for training and future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we will present a case vignette intimately detailing the work of a supervisor and therapist within the framework of the Person of the Therapist Training Model (POTT). The conceptual lenses we emphasize will be the empathic-identification and differentiation aspects of the relationship between therapist and client. In that context, the POTT calls for monitoring and describing the interplay between the personal and professional of the therapist in relation to both her supervisor and her client.
