Dropout has been identified as a significant problem among military populations seeking psychotherapy (Goetter et al., 2015; Hoge et al., 2014), yet an overall estimate of its exact prevalence and predictors does not exist. The aims of the current meta-analysis were to estimate outpatient psychotherapy dropout rates for this population and evaluate potential moderators of this event. In total, 283 articles-comprising data from 719,465 U.S. service members and veterans-met all inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The average weighted dropout rate for all outpatient therapies was 25.6%, 95% CI [22.4%, 29.2%], and prediction interval [1.9%, 85.9%]. Furthermore, dropout was 27.0% for cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs), 25.3% for trauma treatments, 27.6% for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 28.9% for individual therapies, and 9.8% for intensive outpatient settings. Findings from metaregression analyses using mixed-effects models indicated that higher dropout was linked with the following after accounting for other moderators: younger age, CBTs, nonmanualized approaches, VA versus Department of Defense settings, individual versus group therapies, and weekly versus intensive outpatient formats. Dropout was not linked with other client, therapist, treatment, and research variables. Taken together, dropout estimates were obtained for a range of military populations and treatment characteristics, including theoretical orientation, presenting concern, setting, and therapy formats. These estimates may provide potential benchmarks for therapists, administrators, and policymakers serving military populations. Leveraging dropout prevention strategies with at-risk groups highlighted in this study may enhance mental health care outcomes for this high-need population.

Suicide is a major public and mental health problem in the United States and around the world. According to recent survey research, there were 16,600,000 American adults and adolescents in 2022 who reported having serious thoughts of suicide (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2023), which underscores a profound need for effective clinical care for people who are suicidal. Yet there is evidence that clinical providers may avoid patients who are suicidal (out of fear and perceived concerns about malpractice liability) and that too many rely on interventions (i.e., inpatient hospitalization and medications) that have little to no evidence for decreasing suicidal ideation and behavior (and may even increase risk). Fortunately, there is an emerging and robust evidence-based clinical literature on suicide-related assessment, acute clinical stabilization, and the actual treatment of suicide risk through psychological interventions supported by replicated randomized controlled trials. Considering the pervasiveness of suicidality, the life versus death implications, and the availability of proven approaches, it is argued that providers should embrace evidence-based practices for suicidal risk as their best possible risk management strategy. Such an embrace is entirely consistent with expert recommendations as well as professional and ethical standards. Finally, a call to action is made with a series of specific recommendations to help psychologists (and other disciplines) use evidence-based, suicide-specific, approaches to help decrease suicide-related suffering and deaths. It is argued that doing so has now become both an ethical and professional imperative. Given the challenge of this issue, it is also simply the right thing to do.

在美国和全世界,自杀都是一个重大的公共和心理健康问题。根据最近的调查研究,2022 年有 1,660 万美国成年人和青少年表示有严重的自杀念头(药物滥用和心理健康服务管理局,2023 年),这凸显了对有自杀倾向的人提供有效临床护理的巨大需求。然而,有证据表明,临床医疗服务提供者可能会回避有自杀倾向的患者(出于对医疗事故责任的恐惧和担忧),而且有太多的患者依赖于干预措施(即住院治疗和药物治疗),而这些措施几乎没有减少自杀意念和行为的证据(甚至可能会增加自杀风险)。幸运的是,在与自杀相关的评估、急性临床稳定以及通过心理干预实际治疗自杀风险等方面,都出现了大量以证据为基础的临床文献,并得到了重复的随机对照试验的支持。考虑到自杀倾向的普遍性、对生死的影响,以及已有的行之有效的方法,有观点认为,医疗服务提供者应该接受以证据为基础的自杀风险治疗方法,将其作为最佳的风险管理战略。这种做法完全符合专家建议以及专业和道德标准。最后,我们呼吁大家采取行动,提出一系列具体建议,帮助心理学家(以及其他学科)使用循证的、针对自杀的方法,帮助减少与自杀相关的痛苦和死亡。文章认为,现在这样做已经成为一种道德和职业要求。鉴于这一问题的挑战性,这样做也是正确的。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。

Psychologists have a traditional concern with participant samples from narrow populations and deleterious effects on researchers' ability to generalize findings. Recently, both individuals and authoritative organizations, such as the American Psychological Association, have merged this external validity concern with diversity and inclusion concerns. The American Psychological Association directive for researchers to include diverse samples seems obviously well-taken as it purports to mitigate these problems at once; it simultaneously increases external validity and promotes diversity and inclusion. However, we show that there are complications. These include problems with internal and external validity conceptualizations; that sometimes generalization failures can support, rather than detract from, external validity; the crucial role auxiliary assumptions play in impacting internal and external validity; Lakatosian degenerative science and its problematic application; and distinguishing between merely including diverse groups in research samples versus analyzing for group differences. These complications imply a nuanced perspective of whether samples from narrow populations are undesirable. That a sample is from a narrow population might, or might not, preclude strong support or disconfirmation for the theory, including its ability to generalize. Our nuanced perspective militates against the current trend of journal directives to require diverse samples. Sample suitability for particular researcher goals should be judged on a case-by-case basis that takes into account that sometimes samples from narrow populations can nevertheless engender impressive scientific progress and sometimes not.

Social support is the degree to which people are accepted by, cared for, and attended to by important others and is one of the most popular constructs in the psychological canon. This project synthesized data from 60 meta-analyses, which included over 2,700 studies and 2.1 million participants, to evaluate the association of social support with psychological adjustment. Results from a second-order meta-analysis indicated that, overall, social support yielded a robust association with psychological adjustment, r = .24, 95% CI [.22, .26]. Effects of social support were detectable across several outcome categories (mental health, psychological traits, educational outcomes, workplace outcomes), specific outcomes (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, stress, burnout), and sources of support (friends, family, peers, teachers, coworkers, supervisors), and were detectable across age and cultural groups. However, perceived support was more strongly associated with psychological adjustment than received support. Furthermore, social support effects were larger when examining unhealthy samples, well-validated scales, and cross-sectional studies. Finally, effects were less pronounced in six meta-analyses that controlled for relevant covariates, r = .17, 95% CI [.10, .23]. Given the substantial variability of social support effects across prior meta-analyses (range = .07-.41), future study is needed to identify additional moderators of its association with psychological adjustment.

社会支持是指人们被重要他人接纳、关心和关注的程度,是心理学中最受欢迎的概念之一。该项目综合了 60 项元分析的数据,其中包括 2,700 多项研究和 210 万名参与者,以评估社会支持与心理调整的关系。二阶荟萃分析的结果表明,总体而言,社会支持与心理调适之间存在稳健的联系,r = .24,95% CI [.22, .26]。在多个结果类别(心理健康、心理特征、教育结果、工作场所结果)、特定结果(抑郁、创伤后应激障碍、压力、职业倦怠)和支持来源(朋友、家人、同伴、老师、同事、上司)中,都能检测到社会支持的影响,而且在不同年龄和文化群体中都能检测到。然而,与获得的支持相比,感知到的支持与心理调整的关系更为密切。此外,在研究不健康的样本、有效的量表和横断面研究时,社会支持的影响更大。最后,在控制了相关协变量的六项荟萃分析中,社会支持效应并不明显,r = .17, 95% CI [.10, .23]。鉴于社会支持效应在之前的荟萃分析中存在很大的差异(范围 = .07-.41),未来的研究需要确定社会支持与心理调整之间关系的其他调节因素。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。

In 2021, the American Psychological Association offered an apology to people of color for harms, actions, and inactions and accepted responsibility for contributing to systemic inequities. The field of psychology has a complicated and long history of contributing to American racism and the belief in human hierarchy. This article illustrates the strategy the American Psychological Association followed to issue an apology at a scale that incorporated the voices and perspectives of the association's senior leaders and racial equity experts. The authors shed light on the organizational changes that were necessary to approve the apology and the changes that followed the apology to create long-term, institutional, and sustainable change and advance racial equity within psychology and society.

For the first time in its 130-year history, the American Psychological Association formally admitted to its ugly racist past and acknowledged how White supremacy continues to pervade the profession. Although the apology spans the entire field of psychology, the primary focus of this article is on how the profession of counseling and psychotherapy has reinforced and contributed to the oppression of people of color. First, we contend that psychology mirrors cultural racism/White supremacy and represents the major framework from which psychologists and other social scientists with power and privilege located the source of problems within people of color, their family values/structures, and their communities. Second, we maintain that the concept of professionalism has resulted in four legitimizing pillars of counseling and psychotherapy in which polarities are created that value universalism over relativism, individualism over collectivism, objectivism over subjectivism, and empiricism over experientialism. These four foundations of a White epistemology channel and subsidize racism by equating racial/cultural differences with pathology; promoting color and power blindness; blaming the victim; dehumanization and objectification; and denial of different racial realities. Last, we offer solutions for dismantling racism in counseling and psychotherapy. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
美国心理学会在其 130 年的历史上首次正式承认其丑陋的种族主义过去,并承认白人至上主义如何继续充斥着这个行业。虽然道歉涉及整个心理学领域,但本文的主要焦点是心理咨询和心理治疗行业如何强化和助长了对有色人种的压迫。首先,我们认为心理学反映了文化种族主义/白人至上主义,是心理学家和其他拥有权力和特权的社会科学家定位有色人种、他们的家庭价值观/结构以及他们的社区问题根源的主要框架。其次,我们认为,专业主义的概念导致了心理咨询和心理治疗的四大合法化支柱,在这四大支柱中,普遍主义高于相对主义,个人主义高于集体主义,客观主义高于主观主义,经验主义高于经验主义。白人认识论的这四大基础将种族/文化差异等同于病态,助长了肤色盲和权力盲,将责任归咎于受害者,非人化和客体化,以及否认不同的种族现实,从而引导和助长了种族主义。最后,我们提出了在心理咨询和心理治疗中消除种族主义的解决方案。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
