Making a difference
This Field Report explains a decade-long, intradisciplinary initiative that drew from communication-based bullying research to develop and implement anti-bullying outreach efforts in three applied contexts (two schools and one health care organization). We begin by describing the origins and evolution of the National Communication Association's Anti-Bullying Project. We then detail the three primary summits we held, reflect on the collaborative p…
What do parents know and feel about mental health in young children? A mixed methods systematic review of global parental mental health literacy
Despite the global rise in child mental health difficulties, public understanding of young children’s mental health remains unclear. Parents play a pivotal role in supporting their children’s mental health and seeking professional help for concerns. Our mixed-methods systematic review sought to describe current levels of child mental health literacy (CMHL) among parents, examine variations across sociodemographic and clinical factors, and explore…
Development of a digital therapeutic alliance scale (MM-DTA) in the context of fully automated mental health apps
Therapeutic alliance (TA) refers to the relationship between a therapist and a client in face-to-face therapy and is an essential ingredient in successful psychological therapy outcomes. With the availability of fully automated apps, the question arises as to whether there is an analogous notion of a digital therapeutic alliance (DTA), and whether and how it plays a role in usage and outcomes of digital health interventions. Recent work has demon…
Barriers to the implementation of psychosocial interventions on acute mental health wards
In order to successfully engage with the delivery of psychosocial interventions on acute mental health wards, staff need access to supportive leadership which champions psychological interventions, as well as training, supervision and support systems which value the demanding nature of working on mental health inpatient wards

Romantic attachment and support adequacy in new mothers
In the present research, we examined whether attachment anxiety and avoidance in support recipients were related to the extent to which social support received from a romantic partner matched the actual needs of the recipient. Two-hundred and forty-five first-time mothers, currently involved in romantic relationships, participated in study 1, in which perceptions of support were appraised over the previous month using self-reports. In study 2, we…
What should inpatient psychological therapies be for? Qualitative views of service users on outcomes
BACKGROUND: There is limited research on what, when and how outcomes should be measured in psychological therapy trials in acute mental health inpatient wards. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to consider what outcomes service users think are important to measure. METHODS: This qualitative study explored the views of 14 participants, who had an inpatient admission within the last year, on outcomes of psychological therapies using semistructured inter…
Understanding How, Why and for Whom Link Work Interventions Promote Access in Community Healthcare Settings in the United Kingdom
Recurrent Flooding and Household Food Access in Central Java, Indonesia
It is unknown how recurring flooding impacts household diet in Central Java. We aimed to assess how recurrent flooding influenced household food access over 22 years in Central Java by linking the Global Surface Water dataset (GSW) to the Indonesian Family Life Survey. We examined linear and nonlinear relationships and joint effects with indicators of adaptive capacity. We measured recurrent flooding as the fraction of district raster cells with …
Household Flood Severity and Migration Extent in Central Java
Central Java, Indonesia, is prone to river and coastal flooding due to climate changes and geological factors. Migration is one possible adaptation to flooding, but research is limited due to lack of longitudinal spatially granular datasets on migration and metrics to identify flood-affected households. The available literature indicates social and economic barriers may limit mobility from flood prone areas. The Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFL…
Protective Factors Associated With Post-traumatic Outcomes in Individuals With Experiences of Psychosis
Trauma and trauma-specific mental health difficulties (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder) are highly prevalent in people with psychosis. However, not everyone develops post-traumatic symptoms, and some people even experience post-traumatic growth (PTG) following trauma. It is important to identify which protective factors are associated with less severe trauma symptoms and/or positive outcomes to inform the development and implementation of in…
Attachment Security and Suicide Ideation and Behaviour
This study shows that the attachment dimensions of attachment anxiety and avoidance may play differential roles in increasing risk for suicidal attempts versus ideation. This has important implications for tailoring interventions. Those aimed at reducing suicide attempts should focus on reducing attachment anxiety by helping people develop skills in emotional regulation. Interventions aimed at reducing suicidal ideation should focus on reducing a…

Romantic attachment and support preferences in new mothers
In the present research, we examined whether attachment anxiety and avoidance in support recipients were related to preferences for specific types of support. In addition, we examined whether stress moderated the relationship between attachment and support needs. Two-hundred and forty-five first-time mothers, currently involved in romantic relationships, participated in study 1, in which support needs and stress were appraised over the previous m…
Anchors away
This essay examines teaching failure in the context of COVID-19. It uses autoethnography to convey and explore the impact the pandemic has on teaching, as situated against and within my life-long dream to be a teacher. I explore four performances as a teacher that resulted from the transition at my institution from on the ground to fully remote instruction. Overall, I consider the ways COVID-19 has disrupted what it means to participate in commun…
Developing a Theory-Informed Smartphone App for Early Psychosis
Background: Actissist is a smartphone app designed to deliver an intervention grounded in cognitive behavior therapy for early psychosis. Actissist was developed by a multidisciplinary team of academics, clinicians, experts by experience and software engineers. Actissist has been tested in two trials, the first a proof-of-concept trial where Actissist was safe, acceptable and feasible, the second, a powered randomized controlled trial. Objective:…
“They Are Not Hard-to-Reach Clients. We Have Just Got Hard-to-Reach Services.” Staff Views of Digital Health Tools in Specialist Mental Health Services
Background: Digital health products designed to help people with severe mental health problems appear to be feasible, acceptable, and efficacious. The challenge facing the digital mental health field is implementing digital tools in routine service delivery. To date, there has been a paucity of qualitative research exploring staff views of digital health solutions in the context of mental healthcare. Engaging and involving frontline staff in the …
That little doorway where I could suddenly start shouting out
Hearing distressing voices is a key feature of psychosis. The time between voice onset and disclosure may be crucial as voices can grow in complexity. This study aimed to investigate barriers and enablers to early voice disclosure. In total, 20 voice hearers were interviewed, and Thematic Analysis was used to identify themes. Beliefs about the effect of disclosure on self and others acted as a barrier and enabler to voices being discussed. Voice …
Coming Unhinged
This story tells about an accident that occurred at the 2016 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. The first author presents her autoethnography of her partner's fall and her subsequent reaction. Then to complicate and deepen her telling, she crafts a second multivoiced account from the responses of eight people who were part of the event. The participants' stories are juxtaposed to tell a multivoiced tale and to theorize what happened i…
Cognitive Attachment Model of Voices
There is a robust association between hearing voices and exposure to traumatic events. Identifying mediating mechanisms for this relationship is key to theories of voice hearing and the development of therapies for distressing voices. This paper outlines the Cognitive Attachment model of Voices (CAV), a theoretical model to understand the relationship between earlier interpersonal trauma and distressing voice hearing. The model builds on attachme…
Family Bullies
In this essay, the authors use autoethnography to critically investigate the problem of bullying within family contexts. They convey and analyze two narratives that illustrate salient ways bullying happens within families, and describe how the relational practices of understanding, dialogue, and forgiveness inform such aggression. This inquiry provokes the reconsideration of normative ways of conceptualizing the family, primarily by proposing a m…
Practice Approaches and the Ethnography of Communication
In this essay, I explore the areas of accord and discord between two efficacious modes of research: practice approaches and the Ethnography of Communication (EOC). As an interpersonal and intercultural scholar, I carefully analyze these approaches in order to find innovative ways to describe the diversity that I see in modern social interaction. Working against paradigms that suggest using either one approach or another, I engage this project hop…
Size Matters
Situated against a pervasive and normative logic suggesting that bodies, and especially thin-and-fit bodies, matter most and ought to be attained, FatClub.com provokes a counterintuitive cultural scene. This virtual ethnography examines how members of the site jointly constitute community through an elaborate system of linguistic and embodied proweight cultural performances. In turn, these performances ecstatically cite, disidentify, and play wit…
Embracing the Catastrophe
This article examines the constitution of gay male identity through embodied performances in Steamworks, a gay male bathhouse in Chicago. Motivated by Kabat-Zinn's (1990) Buddhist conceptualizations of catastrophe and mindfulness, I reflectively track the ways in which desirability influences disconnection and identity negotiation as it occurs within a pervasive, generalized, and highly influential conceptualization of the idealized gay male body…
The Ethnographic Choice
How do we reconcile the complex and subjective dimensions of ethnographic research as they pertain to ethnographers themselves? What is to be made of the compelling draw the ethnographic process tends to have on its researchers? This article uses hermeneutic phenomenology to examine how ethnographers' lifeworlds make possible the doing of ethnographic research. I draw on moments from past research to argue for an inexorable link between lifeworld…
Contestation and Opportunity in Reflexivity
Academic discourse on ideas and techniques of reflexivity in ethnographic research are common and essential. Less common are collections devoted entirely to this topic, and those conducted by diverse researchers who draw on distinctive intellectual values and commitments for cultural inquiry. Also strange to the literature are discussions about ethnographic reflexivity that are grounded in everyday personal and professional experiences of ethnogr…
Implicated Audience Member Seeks Understanding
Researchers have characterized autoethnography as a highly evocative and personalized mode of discourse that affects authors and their audiences. In this article, the author examines autoethnography by recalling experiences communicating with Tillmann-Healy's (2005) 'The State of Unions: Activism (and In-Activism) in Decision 2004,' an autoethnographic poem about recent U.S. election results, civic inactivity among gay men, and the need for their…

Reconciling the Relational Echoes of Addiction
This article explores the negotiation of a father-son relationship in the context of addiction, as conveyed from the vantage point of the relationship the author maintains with his father. The author conveys narrative fragments to explore a range of facets of the relationship and to illustrate how relationships of this kind often resist easy answers. Indeed, they are multifaceted interactional processes confounded by the powerful grip of history …
Cultural Studies and the Politics of Representation
This essay examines Joan W. Scott's (1991) essay 'The Evidence of Experience' in light of cultural studies scholarship that uses personal, experiential evidence, and/or innovative/critical methodologies. The authors argue that the situated, (inter)subjective, and complex nature of this inquiry conscientiously has brought to life Scott's call for historicizing experience, rather than blindly using it as foundational, and enthusiastically continues…
Reflecting on the Call to Ethnographic Reflexivity
Key themes that motivated this special issue on ethnographic reflexivity are discussed in the following section. Specifically, contributors responded to all or some of the shared questions posed by issue editors. Contributors offered an array of open thoughts and feelings concerning experiences and issues germane to reflexivity. As a dynamic and complex collage of discoveries and possibilities, contributors sought to perpetuate open and frank dis…
