The Experience of Adoptive Parents in Adoption Reunion Relationships
The issues experienced by adoptive parents when faced with an adult child's searching or reunion relationship with his or her birth family, how adoptive parents place themselves within this process, and the factors that influence their experience at this time were explored in a qualitative study of 21 adoptive parents. Themes derived from semistructured interviews are discussed, and implications for clinical practice and future research are sugge…
Communities coping with change
Changing economic, political, environmental, and social conditions continue to have a cumulative impact on Australian regional communities, and in many instances, rural communities are being forced to initiate their own strategies in order to remain economically and socially viable. However, while communities respond in differing ways to similar change events, as do individuals, research examining the change process has largely been undertaken at…
A Psychometric Comparison of Four Measures of Hope and Optimism
This study was designed to compare and contrast the psychometric properties of four scales developed to measure hope and optimism, namely, the Revised Generalized Expectancy for Success Scale, the Life Orientation Test (LOT), the Hope Scale (HS), and the Hunter Opinions and Personal Expectations Scale. The definitions on which the measures are based are compared along with their reported reliability and construct validity. Three hundred and forty…

Further Validity and Reliability Evidence for Beck Hopelessness Scale Scores in a Nonclinical Sample
The psychometric properties of the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) were examined among 544 university students. Internal consistency of scores was satisfactory (Cronbach’s alpha = .88). A principal-axis factor analysis with oblique rotation suggested four factors that were largely uninterpretable. Removal of items and further analysis suggested a two-factor structure of questionable interpretability. Convergent validity was demonstrated by high cor…
Expectations and experiences of participants in ongoing adoption reunion relationships
Expectations of the adoption reunion process, responses to disappointments, and factors that influence reunion outcomes are investigated in a qualitative study of ten adult adoptees and ten birthmothers. Themes derived from interviews with participants are analyzed and explored, and implications for clinical practice and research are presented
Exploring the Counselor's Experience of Working With Perpetrators and Survivors of Domestic Violence
Based on notions of vicarious trauma, burnout, and countertransference, the purpose of this study was to explore the impact on counselors of working with domestic violence (DV) clients. Eighteen counselors with high case loads of DV clients participated in a semistructured interview. They described classical symptoms of vicarious trauma, and reported changes in cognitive schema, particularly in regard to safety, world view, and gender power issue…
To Give or Not to Give
The bereavement process in organ and tissue donor families
Organ and tissue transplantation are established medical procedures that bring increased quality and quantity of life to the recipient, but inevitably imply loss and a difficult decision-making process for donor family members. A literature review and interviews with donor family members were carried out to explore the issues in the bereavement process that are unique to this situation. The grieving process can be complicated when family members …
A critique of coping scales
This paper describes the issues that must be considered by researchers who wish to measure coping. The assessment of coping is discussed in terms of two major debates, namely whether coping should be conceptualised as a trait-like personality characteristic or as a statelike response to a specific stressor, and the use of general scales as opposed to situation-specific scales. These difficulties are partly a consequence of the conceptual overlap …
