Perceptions of Suicide and Mental Illness Causes/Treatments Among Aawambo Namibians
In the last decade, suicide and mental illness have received more social, empirical, and institutional attention in Namibia. Despite systemic attention, culturally-specific scholarship about explanatory models for suicide and mental illness in Namibia lags behind. Thus, our purpose was to examine perceptions of mental illness and suicide causes as well as treatments among Aawambo respondents ( N = 201) in urban ( n = 100) and rural ( n = 101) reg…
Social mobility through doctoral education
The Myth of Social Mobility
A common assumption is that upward mobility produces positive psychological outcomes. However, status-based identity framework and social class worldview model propose that perceived social mobility in either direction will lead to increased distress. Based on this claim, we examined relations among subjective social mobility, life satisfaction, and mental health using polynomial regression with response surface mapping. In Study 1, groups that e…
Integrating Cultural Beliefs About Illness in Counseling With Refugees
Researchers have suggested that people with refugee status have heightened rates of western-defined psychiatric symptoms. Following this evidence, treatments have been adapted with the intent to foster culturally competent service provision for members of refugee communities. Absent in this research is attention to how clinicians address diverse beliefs about illness constructed within the cultures of refugee individuals. As such, even adapted tr…
Clients’ Hope for Counseling as a Predictor of Outcome in Psychotherapy
Researchers have demonstrated links between general hope and symptoms of distress. Findings like these are important given the conceptual role of hope in psychotherapy theories like Frank and Frank’s contextual model. Existing literature, however, has involved researchers employing general hope measures despite hope being variable across domains rather than a general trait. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between hope f…
A choir or cacophony? Sample sizes and quality of conveying participants' voices in phenomenological research
Misunderstandings about qualitative methods, whether phenomenological or otherwise, are prevalent in social science research. Such misunderstandings leave researchers, reviewers, and editors less equipped to conduct or evaluate this method. Evaluation of phenomenology is especially complicated given the different variants that exist and the need for flexibility within these studies. Methodologists have created guides for conducting specific varia…
Development and Initial Validation of the Therapist Hope for Clients Scale
Hope is a critical component of therapeutic change. However, hope does not singularly emanate from clients. Therapists’ hope for their clients represents a specific therapeutic factor that may impact clinical outcomes. Currently no measure exists to assess the uniqueness of therapist’s hope in therapy with specific clients. Our purpose in this study was to develop and initially validate the Therapist Hope for Clients Scale (THCS). Participants ( …
