  • Spiritual Attachment and Dieting

    Open AccessJuleen K Buser, Tiffany Rikard et al.ARTICLEThe Family Journal2026

    Family counselors often use relational attachment principles in their work with clients. These attachment principles can also be applied to clients’ faith beliefs, in terms of secure or insecure spiritual attachment styles. More research is needed on the ways in which spiritual attachment intersects with mental health issues, such as problematic dieting behaviors. In the present study, we examined the association between spiritual attachment styl…

  • Relationships with Those Engaging in Nonsuicidal Self Injury

    Open AccessJuleen K Buser, Trevor J Buser et al.ARTICLEThe Family Journal2026

    Being in a relationship with someone engaging in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) can be a stressful experience.

The authors examined the link between NSSI and attachment to God or a higher power among college students ( N = 516). They found a statistically significant relationship between anxious attachment to God or a higher power and NSSI and avoidant attachment to God or a higher power and NSSI. Researchers and cou…

  • Evaluating a Training Intervention for Assessing Nonsuicidal Self-Injury

    Open AccessCorrine C Rutt, Trevor J Buser et al.ARTICLECounselor Education and Supervision2016References: 36

    The authors evaluated the effectiveness of a brief training intervention with graduate counseling students who used the HIRE (history, interest in change, reasons for engaging in the behavior, and exposure to risk; Buser & Buser, ) model for the informal assessment of nonsuicidal self-injury. The intervention group demonstrated improvements in nonsuicidal assessment self-efficacy and assessment skill. Findings suggest that HIRE is an evidence-inf…

    Kristopher M Goodrich, Juleen K Buser et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2016Cited by: 3References: 41

    Although religious and spiritual issues have emerged as areas of focus in counseling, very few scholars have explored the meaning and experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients who addressed their sexual and religious/spiritual identities in counseling. Using consensual qualitative research (CQR; Hill, 2012), the current study explores the perspectives of 12 LGB persons who sought counseling that involved religious/spiritual concerns…
