ABSTRACTThe majority of research on mental wellness has been focused on Western societies, while little is known about cross-cultural differences of mental wellness and factors associating with mental wellness. The present cross-cultural research examined the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and mental wellness among groups recruited from the United States (US), Mexico, and China. A total of 1,198 participants (359 from the US, 432 from Mexico, 407 from China; 55.50% female, 44.50% male) completed the survey study. The moderation effect of country of membership in the relationship between IU-depressive symptoms/life satisfaction was investigated through PROCESS Model 1. Our results revealed that country of membership did not moderate the relationship between IU and depressive symptoms, indicating that the IU-depressive symptom link is culturally invariant. On the other hand, country of membership statistically significantly moderated the relationship between IU and life satisfaction (p < .001, R2 = .10). Specifically, greater IU was inversely associated with life satisfaction amongst US and Mexican individuals, but not for Chinese individuals. Findings suggest cross-cultural variations in the relationship between IU and life satisfaction. Implications, limitations, and future directions were offered.KEYWORDS: Intolerance of uncertaintymental wellnessdepressive symptomslife satisfactioncross-cultural research Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTMale veterans are vastly over-represented in suicide rates relative to non-veterans. A critical avenue for improving male veterans’ mental health outcomes is improving their engagement with mental health services. This study presents a qualitative investigation of mental health practitioners’ perspectives on enhancers of engagement in, and drivers of dropout from therapy among male veterans. Participants were 138 mental health practitioners across Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and the UK (44.9% male; age M = 47.5 years, SD = 12 years). Participants responded to qualitative survey items inquiring about their perspectives on what works to engage male veterans in therapy, alongside common drivers of therapy dropout. Under an overarching theme contextualising the therapeutic alliance between veterans and mental health practitioners, interpretive description analyses led to eight distinct subthemes. Results highlight the range of areas in which mental health practitioners can thoughtfully adapt their practice to engage male veterans and align with military masculinities. In addition, findings underscore the range of barriers facing veterans when they seek help, which can precipitate dropout if not overcome by the right balance between practitioner engagement and veteran persistence.KEYWORDS: Male veteranspractitionerengagementdropouttherapy AcknowledgmentsThe authors wish to thank the Australian Government Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) and Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling for their support for this study.

ABSTRACTThis qualitative study explored the experiences of child psychotherapists who were inexperienced in online therapy and transitioned in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing online therapy to children poses distinct challenges due to different factors, including the focus on play and developmental differences. The study aimed to shed light on the therapists’ perceptions of the therapeutic space in online therapy, and the impact of the transition on the practice of child psychotherapy. Twenty experienced child psychotherapists were interviewed in depth to explore their experiences of transitioning to online therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel. Participants were recruited voluntarily using convenience and snowball sampling. The study was designed and analyzed by two experienced clinical psychologists using qualitative content analysis. The findings revealed that the online space is an integral part of the transformative processes in psychotherapy for children and youth, and psychotherapists can make necessary adjustments to the new setting through adaptability.The study underscored the challenge of finding flexible personal resources to promote adaptation processes to change.KEYWORDS: Therapy settingtelehealthCOVID-19child psychotherapyonline psychotherapy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
