Beyond Telling
Adoption communication openness (ACO) presents a common challenge in families. Three focus groups comprised of a total of 17 U.S. adoptive mothers were facilitated. Using a phenomenological approach, participants described their ACO experiences with their early adolescents (aged 10–14 years), which were thematically coded. Inductive analysis revealed the complexity rooted in being communicatively open. Four key themes emerged: a) the breadth and …

Exploring the Impact of Attachment Anxiety and Avoidance on the Perception of Couple Conflict
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Attachment, and Intimate Partner Violence in a Military Sample
Contemporary military service members and their families face unique stressors that impact the quality of romantic relationships. With divorce rates among military couples on the rise, the authors focused on the relationships between posttraumatic stress disorder, intimate partner violence, and attachment style. Subjects consisted of 20 heterosexual couples, where the male was the service member. Researchers used a series of path models to determ…
Alpha Asymmetry in Female Military Spouses Following Deployment
In the present investigation the authors incorporate a social/affective neuroscience approach to assess the relationship between deployment and electrical brain activity of women married to service members. In particular, the researchers examined influences associated with alpha asymmetry over the frontal cortex. Results suggest that length of time since returning from deployment and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder are associated with g…
Couples and Computer‐Mediated Communication
The use of the Internet, mobile phones, and other technology is becoming commonplace for the purpose of interpersonal communication. Romantic relationships are one type of interpersonal relationship that utilizes computer‐mediated communication (CMC). This study assesses the use of CMC by couples for problem‐solving‐type discussions. Ninety‐four individuals (47 couples) engaged in problem‐solving discussions in both face‐to‐face (FtF) and CMC con…
Leaving No Girl Behind
Female adolescents are negatively impacted by the effects of dropping out of school. Considerable amounts of information regarding the causes of dropping out, and suggestions for intervention programs exists, however there is little on the effect of clinical programming on dropout prevention. Thus archival information from after-school and individual therapy services within a community agency were evaluated for overall clinical effect, with speci…
What Factors Influence Therapy Drop Out
Phenomenological Experience of Girls in a Single-Sex Day Treatment Group
Popular family-based treatment approaches have generally failed to take into account the unique contextual issues adolescent females face in their development. Gender socialization, cultural stereotypes, and the meaning given to physical changes at puberty are a few of the sociological contexts that are uniquely different for developing adolescent girls as compared to boys. The purpose of the present research was to highlight voices of female ado…

Influence of Therapist and Client Behaviors on Therapy Alliance
Does Therapist Experience Influence Interruptions of Women Clients
The feminist critique of marriage and family therapy and studies of interruptions in conversation influenced the topic of the present study. We replicated methodology from a study (Werner-Wilson, Price, Zimmerman, & Murphy, 1997) in which the researchers reported that student therapists interrupted women clients more frequently than male clients. Those results may have been related to therapist inexperience-since the therapists were students. In …

Preschool Children's Classification Skills and a Multicultural Education Intervention To Promote Acceptance of Ethnic Diversity
Previous studies on the ethnic awareness of young children have identified a developmental sequence of ethnic understanding based on cognitive-developmental theories. The present study extends earlier findings by using measures that include classification tasks. Nineteen preschool participants were randomly assigned either to an intervention group or a control group. The children were pre-tested to obtain a baseline measure of their classificatio…
Is Therapeutic Alliance Influenced by a Feminist Approach to Therapy
Is Therapeutic Alliance Influenced by Gender in Marriage and Family Therapy
The relationship between therapist and client(s) is a special one because clients trust their therapist with their vulnerability (Bird, 1993). Wynne (1988) suggested that the therapeutic alliance should be a central feature of empirical research in marriage and family therapy, but it has received scant attention. The feminist critique of marriage and family therapy has criticized family therapy theory for reifying the family and ignoring the indi…
