Experiences of Early Career Counseling Psychologists Working in Integrated Health Care
Psychologists are increasingly represented among interprofessional health care teams, yet little is known about counseling psychologists who fulfill these roles. We interviewed 13 early career counseling psychologists in different settings across the country about their roles and functions, the nature of their relationships with other health professionals, and counseling psychology identity and values. Results showed that counseling psychologists…
Integrated Health Care and Counseling Psychology: An Introduction to the Major Contribution
Integrated health care is playing an increasingly important role in the U.S. health care system by improving coordination of care and reducing health disparities and cost. Despite its promise, the field of counseling psychology has been slow in responding to this trend and in preparing its future workforce for this health care modality. In a series of articles, in this Major Contribution we highlight (a) the rise and benefits of integrated health…
Neighborhood Environment Perceptions and the Likelihood of Smoking and Alcohol Use
Neighborhood characteristics are important correlates for a variety of health outcomes. Among several health risk behaviors, smoking and alcohol use have significant consequences. Perceptions of neighborhood problems are associated with depressive symptoms, lower physical activity, and lower quality of life. However, it is unclear which perceived aspects of neighborhoods might be related to smoking and drinking. We examined whether perceived neig…
An Empirical Investigation of Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapeutic Model
The purpose of this study was to investigate the logotherapeutic model as described by Frankl that explains the relationships among the search for meaning in life, the presence of meaning in life, existential vacuum, existential frustration, noogenic neurosis, will-to-power, and will-to-pleasure. A sample of college students from a large Mid-Atlantic university ( N = 750) completed paper-and-pencil instruments for the variables. Structural equati…
Client factors associated with treatment completion in a substance abuse treatment facility
This study examined a sample (n = 415) of patients initiating short-term substance abuse treatment to determine if demographic factors, personality factors, presenting affect, or presenting symptom severity could predict treatment completion. A logistic regression was conducted and results indicated that men, individuals scoring lower on a measure of neuroticism, and patients who reported higher levels of presenting agitation were all less likely…

Feminist Identity Attitudes, Negative Affect, and Eating Pathology in African American College Women
African American women are believed to have unique experiences related to eating pathology partially because of the intersection of gender and race in Western society. Investigations of negative affect and identity development as predictors of eating pathology in African American women have yielded mixed results; however, feminist identity development is yet to be examined as a predictor of eating problems in this group. Therefore, the current st…
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Sex-Role Egalitarianism Scale with African Americans
Independent and Interdependent Self-Construals, Individualism, Collectivism, and Harmony Control in African Americans
The authors investigated the relationships among independent and interdependent self-construals (i.e., self-conceptualizations), dimensions of individualism and collectivism, and aspects of harmony control (i.e., the degree to which individuals are flexible in recognizing that their personal power stems from spiritual, social, and contextual forces) in a sample of 240 African American community college students. Results revealed that independent …
