Clinical Approaches to Conflicts Between Religious Values and Same‐Sex Attractions: Contrasting Gay‐Affirmative, Sexual Identity, and Change‐Oriented Models of Therapy
This article addresses the issue from a broader perspective that takes into account 3 different paradigms: gay‐affirmative therapy, sexual identity therapy, and change‐oriented therapy.

Here/In This Issue and There/Abstract Thinking: The Art (and Science) of Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is the initial treatment of choice in many children with psychiatric disorders. Unfortunately, response rates for psychotherapeutic interventions resemble pharmacologic therapies in that a large proportion of patients might not attain a meaningful decrease in symptoms. This clinical gap highlights the need for improved understanding of mechanisms underlying psychotherapeutic interventions and of factors that might improve outcomes. Articles in this issue of the Journal significantly expand the current evidence base by examining efficacy and predictors related to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in anxiety a...

Delayed orgasm and anorgasmia
Delayed orgasm/anorgasmia defined as the persistent or recurrent difficulty, delay in, or absence of attaining orgasm after sufficient sexual stimulation, which causes personal distress. Delayed orgasm and anorgasmia are associated with significant sexual dissatisfaction. A focused medical history can shed light on the potential etiologies, which include medications, penile sensation loss, endocrinopathies, penile hyperstimulation, and psychological etiologies. Unfortunately, there are no excellent pharmacotherapies for delayed orgasm/anorgasmia, and treatment revolves largely around addressing potential causative factors and psychotherapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy
This article presents acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as a spiritually integrated therapeutic modality.

Approached as a spiritually integrated therapy, ACT can help clients to access spiritual resources and create life meaning as well as aid in the resolution or transformation of spiritual struggles. Given that spiritual struggles, in particular, can have a significant impact on mental health and well...

Are all psychological therapies equally effective? Don't ask the dodo | Daniel and Jason Freeman
The claim that all forms of psychotherapy for mental illness are winners, known as the Dodo Bird Verdict, has been dealt a blow"Everybody has won andall must have prizes," declared the dodo in Alice in Wonderland when asked to judge the winner of a race around a lake. As judgements go, it is admirably even-handed and optimistic. But in the world of mental health the dodo's decision has come to symbolise a bitter dispute that strikes at the very heart of psychotherapy.The "Dodo Bird Verdict", first suggested in the 1930sby the American psychologist Saul Rosenzweig, proposes that the many and various forms of psychological t...

50.1 assessing hospitalized adolescents ’ readiness to engage in therapy: relationships with psychopathology ratings, overall functioning, and patient-reported treatment alliance
Inpatient hospitalization for adolescents is the most expensive treatment modality, and inpatient beds have been reduced. Additionally, many mental health inpatient services, because of economic pressures, are not able to provide all patients with individual psychotherapy. Providers are in need of a measure that is easy to use and score and that could reliably assess patients ’ ability to engage in inpatient psychotherapy.

The Role of Beliefs About Emotions in Emotion-Focused Therapy for Binge-Eating Disorder
AbstractIndividuals with binge-eating disorder (BED) often experience emotion regulation deficits, including negative beliefs about emotions and low emotional expressivity. The current exploratory study examined whether emotion-focused therapy (EFT) for BED could change negative beliefs about emotions and emotional expressivity. Twenty participants were randomly allocated to either immediate treatment of 12 weekly one-hour sessions of EFT for BED, or a waitlist control group. Beliefs about emotions and emotional expressivity were assessed before and after 12 sessions of EFT or 12 weeks on the waitlist. A repeated measur...

Leaning Into Yourself: Abandoning Fear And Embracing Yourself
“We’re all just walking each other home.” ― Ram Dass
We went around the room, one by one answering the question proposed by our graduate school professor in the counseling psychology program I’d recently been accepted into: “Once you complete your master’s and doctoral degrees, what do you intend to do?”
Perpetually anxious, I hyperventilated as each member of my cohort detailed their future research plans, careers in academia, and other equally intimidating (and boring, in my opinion) pursuits.
“Angie, what about you?” Dr. Wesley asked sincerely, his head slightly ti...

Echoes of others: A path analytic examination of an interpersonal –cognitive model of voice‐related distress
ConclusionsFindings add support to the suggestion that voice‐related distress occurs in the context of an insecure attachment style and negative core beliefs about self/others. A therapeutic focus on beliefs about voices, attachment style and core beliefs about self/others may be important to minimize voice‐related distress. Further tests of this model that can establish causal relationships between variables are now needed.
Practitioner points
Distress associated with auditory verbal hallucinations (‘voices’) is highly variable. This study tests a comprehensive interpersonal–cognitive model of voice distress us...

Beyond “born this way?” reconsidering sexual orientation beliefs and attitudes.
This study used the SOBS to explore latent group-based patterns in endorsement of these beliefs in 2 samples of undergraduate students: a mixed-gender sample (n = 379) and an all-women sample (n = 266). While previous research has posited that essentialist beliefs about the innateness of SO predict positive attitudes toward sexual minorities, our research contributes to a growing body of scholarship that suggests that biological essentialism should be considered in the context of other beliefs. Using a person-centered analytic strategy, we found that that college students fell into distinct patterns of SO beliefs that are ...

The Benefits of Alternative Therapies
This article will take a look at two additional therapy practices that have been widely used by the U.S. and abroad.
Specifically designed for trauma, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works when a therapist leads a patient through a series of lateral eye movements while the patient focuses on traumatic memories. The goal is to reprocess these memories in an adaptive way — eliminating emotional distress and reducing physiological arousal.
Francine Shapiro, PhD, discovered the effects of EMDR by understanding “dual awareness”. When engaging in bilateral stimulation with memory, the ex...
