How Psychotherapists Can Promote Psychotherapy: A Study of Teachers’ Referral Decisions
Psychotherapy research often focuses on the client and the psychotherapist, but rarely on other stakeholders. This is reasonable given that the client and the psychotherapist are the sole players in a psychotherapy session; understanding how they each contribute to the session will illuminate a significant part of the process and outcome of psychotherapy.

Shame and Self-Stigma Among Suicidal Patients
Many psychotherapists have treated patients who denied suicidal ideation, and then attempted suicide later. This can leave the treating psychotherapists upset, bewildered, and asking what they could have done differently. Sometimes patients who unexpectedly attempted suicide developed their suicidal thoughts after their psychotherapists asked them about suicide. At other times, these patients already had suicidal […]

The Role of Empathic Listening in Rupture-Repair Training
The association between the therapeutic alliance and outcome is now well-established and widely known (Flückiger et al., 2018), highlighting a need to better understand the factors that influence the quality of the alliance. Thinking around therapists’ capacities to establish and maintain the alliance has grown increasingly sophisticated, as researchers have long-investigated ruptures and repairs in […]

The Supervision Experience for an International Therapist Trainee Working in Her Second Language
Psychotherapy involves talk, regardless of theoretical foundations. Therapist and client(s) engage in verbal, non-verbal, and paraverbal exchanges to communicate about their experiences and co-create meanings of the experiences. The exchanges between two or more people can be so powerful that they can facilitate clients’ desired changes. The beauty and science of the therapeutic conversation has […]

Integrating culture and religion/spirituality with evidence-based treatments for underserved groups

Many are reluctant to seek professional psychological help (Cook et al., 2017), and those who do are more likely to drop out of treatment prematurely (Mowbray et al., 2018). The underutilization of mental health treatment is in part due to higher stigma of mental […]

In discussing the training of surgeons Campbell wrote, “In the classical training program we have taught how to perform surgery, but we have not taught how to live life as a surgeon” (2001, p. 702). How well have we taught our psychology students to live life as a psychologist? Ideally, our students will learn to […]

Low Intensity Intervention Resources for Patients Waiting for Therapy
Long wait lists for mental health treatment are a major barrier to accessing care and have been associated with symptom worsening and dropout. Despite this, individuals who are waiting for treatment represent a unique opportunity for intervention as they have already overcome significant barriers (e.g., stigma) that are involved in reaching out to mental health […]
