Utilising sandplay therapy to support children with intellectual disabilities and complex mental health needs in China’s child welfare institutions: a case study

Sandplay therapy (SPT) has demonstrated significant effectiveness for children with intellectual disabilities, autism, and other challenges. This case study explores its impact on emotional regulation, sexual psychology, and behavior in orphaned children with significant functional limitations residing in Chinese welfare institutions. Utilizing Jungian psychology, the child’s development was assessed through 26 SPT sessions and four interviews with simulated family members. The findings showed improvements in emotional functioning, self-care capabilities, and the management of sexual energy and emotions. Furthermore, interpersonal relationships within the simulated family improved, thereby achieving the counseling goals. SPT, with its focus on the unconscious and symbolic representation, offers unique advantages in addressing the emotional and behavioral challenges experienced by children with severe functional impairments in welfare environments.

A Case Study of Examination Malpractice Terminated Through Counselling (21-Year-Old Undergraduate Male)

Six sessions of Counselling were held with the client during which active listening and responsiveness, empathy, questioning and directive counselling were explored to help the client to learn how to solve his problem. The counsellor did a background check on him from classmates and associates and confirmed all his claims. Counsellor provided immediate help by providing upkeep, and payed the balance of his fees, she gave him several links to seek for sponsorship. One of the links yielded dividend as George Mangibo reach out foundation offered him a full scholarship to complete his education. At this point counselling was terminated and examination malpractice jettisoned.

Narrative therapy and family therapy in genetic counseling: Ascoping review.

Genetic counseling facilitates psychological and social adaptation in clients and families. Two psychotherapeutic approaches, narrative and family therapy foster client adaptation to adverse situations and may enhance the genetic counseling process. This scoping review aimed to describe the applications of narrative therapy and family therapy in genetic counseling, and to document the actual and perceived value of these approaches in a genetic counseling setting. Nine original research articles and six commentary articles met the study inclusion criteria. Original articles reported on positive client attitudes when these approaches were applied to hereditary cancer and Huntington disease settings. Five studies applied either approach in group sessions, where safety was key to positive outcomes, including sharing lived experiences and coping strategies. Balanced utilization of structured and open elements in group sessions maximized a sense of control, while also allowing for opportunity to self-disclose. Narrative therapy interventions were time efficient and were reported to foster connection with others and shape a new adaptive narrative centered around strengths. Family therapy approaches, based on experiential family therapy, the intersystem model, object relations family therapy, and the social ecology model, required a greater time commitment, but promoted disclosure of complex feelings and diffused tension. Family therapy genogram tools were feasible in practice, easy to implement, and effective at identifying communication barriers. Commentary articles highlighted the alignment of both approaches with genetic counseling goals and their potential value in practice. Utilization of psychotherapeutic approaches can improve counselors' ability to shape sessions, enhance insight and optimize efficacy, and flexibility in moving between models can maximize impact. This review highlights the paucity of studies investigating the efficacy of these psychotherapeutic approaches in the genetic counseling context and the need for more outcomes-based research on the utilization of narrative or family therapy in genetic counseling practice.

Pendekatan Psikodinamika Dalam Konseling Kelompok

The psychodynamic group counseling approach considers the intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics within the group as the main focus of intervention. The main goal of psychodynamic group counseling is to explore and understand unconscious conflicts and underlying patterns of behavior. In psychodynamic group counseling, the counselor acts as a facilitator who helps group members explore unconscious conflicts and dynamics that may arise in group interactions. Through this process, group members are given the opportunity to explore their experiences, identify disturbing patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Psychodynamic group counseling methods can involve symbolic interpretation, mimicry analysis, and reflection on interactions between group members. Through discussion and reflection, group members can support each other and explore a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. As such, psychodynamic group counseling can be a powerful tool in facilitating personal and interpersonal growth for individuals involved in the process. Through a deeper understanding of psychodynamic dynamics in a group context, group members can experience positive changes in their patterns of behavior and improve the quality of their relationships with others.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and preliminary validation of a patient-reported outcome measure for genetic counseling outcomes in Sweden.

Genetic counseling is key for understanding the consequences of hereditary and genetic diseases and, therefore, crucial for patients, their families, and healthcare providers. Genetic counseling facilitates individuals' comprehension, decision-making, and adaptation to hereditary diseases. This study focuses on the Swedish adaptation of the Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale-24 (GCOS-24), an internationally validated, patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for quantifying patient empowerment in genetic counseling. This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the GCOS-24 to measure patient-reported outcome from genetic counseling in Sweden. The adaptation process was meticulously conducted, adhering to international guidelines, with cross-cultural adaptation, translation, and back translation, to ensure semantic, conceptual, and idiomatic equivalence with the original English version. Face validity and understandability was assured using qualitative cognitive interviews conducted with patient representatives, and by a committee of experts in the field. The psychometric properties of the Swedish version of GCOS-24 (GCOS-24swe) were evaluated using a robust sample of 374 patients. These individuals received genetic counseling by telephone or video, necessitated by the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants responded to GCOS-24swe both before and after genetic counseling. The GCOS-24swe demonstrated face validity, good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86), significant responsiveness (Cohen's d = 0.65, p < 0.001), and good construct validity. The study's findings underscore the GCOS-24swe's potential as an effective instrument in both clinical practice and research within Sweden. It offers a valuable means for assessing patient empowerment, a key goal of genetic counseling. Additional psychometric assessment of test-retest reliability and interpretability would further enhance the utility of GCOS-24swe.

Patient selection, counseling and preparation for penile prosthesis.

The penile prosthesis has revolutionized the management of erectile dysfunction and is a mainstay in the treatment of this clinical entity. The goal of proper patient selection and counseling is to achieve a satisfactory outcome for the patient. Most patients receiving a penile prosthesis are satisfied with their outcome, and while the penile prosthesis generally allows for high satisfaction rates, avenues for dissatisfaction can arise. Our aim is to aid the prosthetic urologist in identifying such avenues by discussing what factors can lead to a dissatisfied patient. Even a technically successful surgical outcome in the improperly counseled patient can have negative consequences for the patient and the patient-physician relationship. Satisfaction in the penile prosthesis arena can be variably defined and viewed from different perspectives. As such, establishing a personalized framework of expectation management, even in the patient who poses challenging factors, is paramount in preparation for penile prosthesis implantation.

LGB Counseling Psychologists' Coming Out and Self-Disclosure in Counseling: Working Experiences and Strategies with LGBTQ Clients

&lt;p&gt;本研究目的為探究同志諮商心理師在同志諮商中出櫃及自我揭露的經驗，以及同志諮商心理師如何評估是否運用出櫃及自我揭露作為諮商策略。本研究訪談蒐集三位同志諮商心理師之同志諮商經驗，以敘事研究典範與方法進行資料分析。研究結果綜整同志諮商心理師在晤談中根據同志案主的主訴與狀態評估決定在諮商中是否出櫃及自我揭露，其中讓同志諮商心理師決定出櫃的意圖包含建立安全與平等的諮商關係，以及回應同志案主受污名影響的狀態；而選擇自我揭露的意圖則包含：（1）提供正向楷模經驗，拓展可能性、增加希望感；（2）鬆動案主對同志身分的污名認知及感受；（3）同理、支持及賦能。無論是出櫃還是自我揭露，受訪者皆會評估諮商目標以及助人效益與風險，助人者在自我揭露前也會評估與整理自己的狀態，並且依案主的需求來選擇揭露的內容。研究結果最後並呈現概念統整框架理解同志諮商心理師如何從個人生命經驗挪移到諮商專業經驗中選擇是否使用出櫃與自我揭露策略的三種情形：有出櫃但無自我揭露、有出櫃也有自我揭露，以及沒有出櫃但有自我揭露等。本研究根據結果提 出討論，並對同志諮商心理師及同志諮商實務、諮商專業及專業訓練和未來研究提出建議。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While coming out is a specific action that reveals one’s sexual-minority-identity, self-disclosure is a counseling technique that counselors expose their personal experiences relevant and beneficial to clients’ ultimate counseling goals. Since LGB Counseling psychologists are both sexual minority and counseling professionals, coming out and self-disclosure may seem to look similar from the outlook. Thus, they may come together, independently, consequently, or be obfuscated as the same. The study aims to investigate LGB counseling psychologists’ experiences working with LGBTQ clients, focusing on their assessment and evaluation of whether or not and how to use coming out and self-disclosure as counseling strategies. It also explored how LGB counseling psychologists’ life experiences as sexual minorities, professional training and theoretical orientations has any influences on their works with LGB clients. Three LGB counseling psychologists, self-identified as one lesbian in same-sex marriage, one gay in same-sex marriage, and one pan/bisexual female in hetero-sex marriage, were interviewed for their counseling experiences with LGBTQ clients and the data was analyzed in narrative research methodology. Results indicated how LGB counseling psychologists decided to come out or not in sessions and their strategies if they choose to come out and/or to self-disclose in counseling based on their evaluation of LGBTQ clients’ presenting issues, identity development stage, and conditions. LGB counseling psychologists reported that their intentions for coming out are to build safe and egalitarian counseling relationships with LGB clients, and to respond to clients’ internalized stigma and/or stigmatized loneliness and isolation. LGB counseling psychologists can use their coming out as examples and resources for clients to explore and clarify their internalized homophobia. They indicated that they would choose self-disclosure if they want to (1) provide a positive role model for and increase hope; (2) to loosen up LGBTQ clients’ perceptions and feelings of stigmatized identity, and (3) to provide empathy, support and empowerment. Participants would evaluate counseling goals, therapeutic effects, and risks when considering coming out or self-disclosure, as well as reflect on their own experiences and intentionally choose what to disclose to best meet clients’ needs. Conceptual frameworks are presented to further understand how LGB counseling psychologists choose to either come out without self-disclosure, to come out and disclose personal experiences, or to self-disclose without coming out. The study also found that counseling psychologist participants’ LGB life experiences, professional training and work experiences intertwined with each other and shaped their perspectives and evaluation of coming out and self-disclosure in working with LGB clients. We recognized that all participants in this study were LGB counseling psychologists with more than 6 years of clinical experiences, as well as having certain level of support from family and professional community. Thus, the results may not be able to apply to those who were less supported by significant others and less established professionally. Based on the findings, the study suggests that future research can investigate how LGB counseling psychologists evaluate and use their coming out and self-disclosure in sessions with heterosexual clients. In addition, we recommend that both LGB and heterosexual counseling psychologists diligently examine how our personal identities and life experiences impact on our clinical judgement, the intersections of personal and professional experiences. Therefore, LGB identities and life experiences can be valuable resources to use, not obstacles or stigmatized secret to hide when counseling psychologists working with LGB clients. By continuing to receive multicultural counseling training and enhancing understanding of our own intersexual identities rooted in the local sociocultural context, we counseling psychologists can better serve clients with diverse identities and experiences.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Epidemiology, risk factors and outcomes of prolonged mechanical ventilation with different cut-points in a PICU.

A consensus on the definition of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) for children does not exist. There is still lack of published work presenting the epidemiology, risk factors and outcomes at different cut-points for PMV patients. These are important for planning the goals of treatment and counseling of the prognosis for patient families. We aimed to determine the incidence, baseline characteristics, risk factors and outcomes of PMV in pediatric patients at various cut-points (>14, >21 or >30days). A retrospective cohort study among children <18-years-old who were PMV > 14 days in the PICU of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital was conducted. The primary outcomes were incidence of PMV with various cut-points. We stratified patients into three groups (Group 1; PMV > 14-21, Group 2; >21-30, Group 3; >30 days) for evaluating the baseline characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of PMV (extubation success, tracheostomy status and death). Factors associated with PMV and deaths were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. From January 2018 to August 2022, 1,050 patients were screened. Of these, 114 patients were enrolled. The incidence of PMV > 14, >21 and >30 days were 10.9%, 7.3% and 5.0% respectively. Extubation success was significantly lower in Group 3 than in Groups 1 & 2 (15.4% vs. 62.2% & 56.0%, P < 0.001). Consequently, the tracheostomy rate (63.5% vs. 16.2% & 12.0%, P < 0.001), VAP rate (98.1% vs. 59.5% & 80.0%, P < 0.001), mortality rate by disease (34.6% vs. 5.4% & 20.0%, P = 0.003), median PICU LOS (50.5 vs. 22.0 & 28.0 days, P < 0.001) and median hospital LOS (124.5 vs. 55.0 & 62.0 days, P < 0.001) were also significantly higher for Group 3 compared with Groups 1 & 2. The factor associated with PMV > 30 days was VAP (aOR: 19.53, 95% CI: 2.38-160.34, P = 0.01). Factors associated with non-surviving patients were 3rd degree PEM (aOR: 5.14, 95% CI: 1.57-16.88, P = 0.01), PIM3 score ≥14 (aOR: 6.75, 95% CI: 2.26-20.15, P < 0.001) and muscle relaxant usage (aOR: 5.58, 95% CI: 1.65-18.86, P = 0.01). Extubation failure, tracheostomy rate, VAP rate, mortality rate by disease, PICU LOS and hospital LOS were significantly higher for PMV >30 days. Consequently, we suggest that a 30-day duration as a cut-point for PMV in PICUs might be more appropriate.

Counseling Goals of Athletes During Injury Rehabilitation: A Descriptive Analysis

Although goal setting is widely recommended for sport injury rehabilitation, little is known about the content of the goals set by athletes with injuries. Toward this end, a qualitative content analysis was performed on the goals and barriers to goal attainment identified by 163 intercollegiate student athletes (117 men and 46 women) participating in counseling interventions during sport injury rehabilitation. Most of the 956 goals set (84%) contained a physical element. A physical barrier was identified for 49% of the goals. Economic, cognitive, emotional, and social elements were noted as both goals and barriers. Goal content did not change significantly over the course of rehabilitation. Most goals were specific, process, short term, and positively phrased. The findings provide a detailed description of the types and qualities of counseling goals set by athletes during injury rehabilitation, offering professionals insight into the wide range of concerns expressed by athletes with injury during counseling.
