Abstract This study is aimed to examine the relationship between dyadic adjustment and prenatal attachment. 346 pregnant women who applied to the antenatal polyclinic of a University Research Hospital constituted the sampling of the study. A pregnancy-information form, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Prenatal Attachment Inventory were used to collect data from the pregnant women. There was a weak, positive, and significant relationship between prenatal attachment and dyadic adjustment. However, this study showed that pregnant women had a high dyadic adjustment and prenatal attachment. Also, it presented the need for improving dyadic adjustment to enhance prenatal attachment among pregnant women.

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has been affecting millions of individuals. Dealing with the psychological impacts of Covid-19, including depression, anxiety, and stress, can negatively impact one’s relational experience, potentially lowering relationship satisfaction. This study aims to understand how distress caused by Covid-19 is related to relationship satisfaction and investigate the mediating role of dyadic coping. Using a sample of 233 individuals residing in Turkey who self-identified as being in a romantic relationship, this study found that the Covid-19 distress was negatively linked with relationship satisfaction, and individual’s perception of dyadic coping mediated such relationship. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract This study examines three family therapy cases of adolescents bullying victims in South Korea. We explored factors related to the onset of bullying victimization, family factors, intervention, and therapy outcome. Findings are as follows. First, the onset-related factors included hygiene issues and hostile teachers. Second, family factors were prenatal stressors, lack of affection, communication patterns, parenting practices, and transference. Third, interventions included promoting insight and coaching communication styles. Fourth, families showed cognitive and behavioral changes. Fifth, adolescents better adjusted to school. Findings suggest therapists counseling bullying victims explore family factors and help initiate changes in communication and parenting.

Abstract Misinformation regarding parental alienation theory has been published many times in journals and books since the 1980s. This article discusses a specific example of misinformation, i.e., variations of the statement: Parental alienation theory assumes that the favored parent has caused parental alienation in the child simply because the child refuses to have a relationship with the rejected parent, without identifying or proving alienating behaviors by the preferred parent. This is an unusual phenomenon, i.e., the same misinformation was found in journal articles, books, and presentations by critics of parental alienation 40 times between 1994 and 2020. This trail of recurrent misinformation is not trivial; it is a major misrepresentation of basic tenets of parental alienation theory. The article concludes with action items, including the proposal that these false statements should be corrected and/or the journal articles should be withdrawn from publication.

Abstract In the Chinese context of Hong Kong, education is seen as important for building character and social achievement. In the dominant social discourse, students encountering school attendance problems are often considered either psychologically dysfunctional or socially deviant, and their parents are viewed as incompetent or irresponsible. With the concrete case example, this paper illustrates how narrative therapy provides a space for students’ voices and critical perspectives. It also helps families resist and renegotiate the oppressive meritocratic ideology promoted in the education system and in society. Integration of the systemic and the narrative approaches in the practice is also discussed.

Abstract This study explored the experiences of women suffering from infertility and the effects of a psychodrama-based intervention on their psychosocial well-being. Twelve women included in the study participated in 3-h psychodrama group therapy sessions once per week for 10 weeks. In-depth interviews were assessed according to Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. Results from the analyses revealed three themes: 1) negative experiences, 2) change, and 3) hope for future. These themes should be taken into account in mental support services for women suffering from infertility. Women experiencing infertility difficulties should direct their attention to social roles other than motherhood.

Abstract The study was to determine the share of interpersonal dependency and personality type in the marital satisfaction of the spouses of the patients with MS. A sample of 220 participants in the standard model were asked to answer ENRICH-47, IDI, and HEXACO-PI-R questionnaires and the data were submitted to multiple regression analysis. Findings showed a significant (p<0.01) negative correlation between interpersonal dependency and emotionality and marital satisfaction. Also, honesty and conscientiousness positively (p ≤ 0.01) correlated with marital satisfaction. Since interpersonal dependency and personality type were effective in MS, emotional empowerment, adaptation training and independence seem necessary.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of planned training given to fathers in the prenatal period on their functional status in the postpartum period. We selected 143 participants and randomly assigned them to intervention (n = 72) and control (n = 71) groups for an experimental study. Prenatal Information Form, Postnatal Information Form, Inventory of Functional Status-Fathers and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used for data collection. In the postpartum period, functional status and perceived social support levels of fathers receiving training were affected positively.

Abstract One-third of mothers experience emotional and psychological stress due to the demands of motherhood. This qualitative study analyzed the impact of enmeshment on the emotional and psychological well-being in the family of Armenian origin as well as new mothers current parenting styles and the impacts of their past experiences on their current families. Participants included 19 Armenian mothers, aged 20–40, living in Los Angeles, California, with at least one child in enmeshed paternal families. Results indicated that participants had minimal decision-making opportunities and open communication in their families. Participants experienced low confidence levels and increased pressure due to enmeshment, and how these experiences shaped parenting styles. This information can be used to encourage mental health professionals to assist with cultural dynamics within the Armenian population, while aiding mothers in improving parenting practices.
