The study examined whether drawing helps children talk about their presenting problems in clinical assessments. Thirty-three children ages 5-12 were randomly assigned to either a "tell only" or "draw and tell" condition during their clinical interview. Children in the "draw and tell" condition provided significantly more clinically relevant information than those in the "tell only" condition. Interviewers also used more desirable prompting behaviors like encouragement in the "draw and tell" interviews. However, there was no association found between conditions and children's stated preference for drawing or perceptions of ease. The results suggest that incorporating drawing into clinical assessments can help elicit more detailed information from children.

Talk, Read, Sing Intervention at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital OaklandPhilip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies
This evaluation report summarizes the findings of a partnership between the Too Small to Fail initiative and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland to promote early literacy and brain development. The key findings were:
1) Parents recognized the importance of talking, reading and singing but engaged in these activities less frequently than recommended, especially reading.
2) A hospital clinic visit that provided messaging from doctors and literacy materials increased parents' awareness and planned behavior changes, especially among Spanish-speaking families.
3) Follow-up interviews found parents had retained messages, were using provided materials regularly, and expected to talk, read and sing more in the future with their children.Anxiety quiz
Test anxiety can have severe physical and mental effects on students. The author describes how they used to suffer from test anxiety in school but were able to reduce it over time by changing their perspective on the importance of tests. Some ways to reduce test anxiety include identifying the underlying causes, such as perfectionist tendencies or worries about grades, and realizing tests are not life or death situations. Studies have shown techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that stimulate acupuncture points while using positive statements can significantly reduce public speaking anxiety within a single session and may be more effective than traditional cognitive behavioral therapy.
Effects of Anxiety &Gender on Perception Taking
This study examined the effects of social anxiety and gender on performance on a theory of mind task. The study hypothesized that social anxiety would negatively impact performance, especially for those with instructors of the opposite gender. A test was given to 48 college students, with half receiving an anxiety manipulation. Results found no significant main effects of anxiety or gender match on scores. There was also no significant interaction between anxiety and gender. The hypotheses were not supported, as social anxiety and gender of the instructor did not impact theory of mind task performance.

The document summarizes a research study on anger management problems among teens. It explores the causes of teen anger, how teens express anger, and potential solutions. The study involved surveying 50 high school students about their experiences with anger. It found that peer pressure, family problems, social relationships, and academic problems can cause teen anger. Many teens reported opening up to others or being alone as ways to deal with anger. The study recommends teaching teens healthy coping skills like talking through problems or praying to manage anger. It also suggests parents and teachers be supportive and allow teens to openly discuss their feelings.

Maria is trying to understand why two boys, Joseph and Jamal, had a confrontation at school. She talks to Joseph to learn more. Joseph explains that he reacted aggressively towards Jamal because he didn't like the way Jamal looked at him. Maria recognizes this as an example of classical conditioning, where Joseph has formed an association between Jamal's look (the conditioned stimulus) and previous negative interactions with Jamal and others (the unconditioned stimulus), resulting in an aggressive reaction (the conditioned response). Maria aims to identify the stimuli influencing the boys' behavior to develop a strategy to reduce tensions between them.

What Is A School Psychologist Powerpoint
School psychologists play an important role in schools by conducting assessments, providing consultation, implementing prevention and intervention programs, and advocating for students. They work with students, teachers, and families to address issues related to learning, behavior, mental health, and social/emotional development. Some of their key responsibilities include evaluating academic skills and learning difficulties, observing students, designing and implementing interventions, counseling students, and educating teachers and parents. The goal of school psychologists is to promote students' academic achievement, social/emotional well-being, and healthy development.
Types of assessment
The document discusses assessment practices and formative assessment. It provides an overview of assessment types including formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments. Formative assessment identifies student needs, guides ongoing instruction, and provides feedback to improve learning, while summative assessment evaluates learning at the end of a unit. The document emphasizes that formative assessment, when used to adapt teaching to meet student needs, has a strong positive effect on learning.

Dissertation report
This study investigated whether drawing facilitates young children's verbal recall of video information. 80 primary school children aged 3-4 and 5-6 years old watched a short video clip and were asked to recall it 3 days later. The children were split into 4 groups: tell only, draw and tell, draw then tell, tell then draw and tell. It was found that there was no effect of recall condition or age on recall score. However, there was a difference in the type of information recalled, with all children recalling more objects than any other category. Therefore, this study does not support previous research findings that drawing positively impacts young children's recall.

1. Cognitive interviews were conducted in Nigeria with caregivers and children to pre-test survey tools developed by MEASURE Evaluation to measure outcomes for orphan and vulnerable children programs.
2. The interviews helped validate translations, refine response categories, better understand recall periods, and assess comprehension of concepts. For example, rural respondents had difficulty with 4-point scales so they were simplified.
3. Both adults and children struggled with some questions, showing the need to adapt questions or probes for the local context. The cognitive interviews provided valuable insights for finalizing the survey tools.

Abstract
The focus of the research will be oneffects of domestic violence on children with particular attention on those children brought up by intimate partners. Exposing children to domestic violence affects children psychologically, physically and emotionally. Literature suggests that domestic violence has lasting effects on children. This research will focus on children who have reached the school-going age from five years to thirteen years.
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
The study is aimed at researching and finding out the effects of domestic violence on children.
Scope of the Study
This study will focus on domestic violence in families from an intimate partner and how the children are affected by either being victims or witnesses.
The rationale of the Study
When children are exposed to domestic violence, their mental health is negatively affected. These are aspects that affect their ability to feel empathy and make them experience social discomfort. To understand the children's emotions, forensic psychologists use their expertise to assess and identify the sources of the problem.
The hypothesis of the Question
H1:Domestic violence affects the physical and emotional well-being of children
H2: Forensic psychologists provide wholesome support to children who experience or witness domestic violence
Key Concepts
Domestic violence: the abuse of power occurs when a partner physically or psychologically abuses or dominates the other.
Intimate partner violence: this is sexual, physical, or psychological abuse
Child abuse: this is emotional or physical harm by a caregiver to the child.
Forensic Psychologist: an expert in forensics and psychology.
Literature Review
Children living in an abusive home are more likely to experience social alienation. They are mentally affected and hence find it difficult to relate with others. According to Lloyd, this is an effect that affects their performance in school due to lack of concentration (2018). These children are also anxious because they can relate to the events taking place at home. Therefore, they perform poorly because of anxiety and fear that is directed towards adults, including teachers.
Maltreatment of the children affects them over a long time leading to emotional and psychological effects. The physiological changes are due to the effects on the child's brain. This leads to the changes that cause emotional stress and depression. According to Mallett and Schall, domestic violence against children is classified as criminal acts under the law (2019). The impacts they have can affect the future and mental stability of the child.
Although domestic violence is known to cause negative impacts on children, there are more cases not being reported. This is primarily due to the intimidation from the perpetrator (Sullivan, 2018). The child ...
6 sample annotated bibliographystudent name
This document provides annotations for 4 sources that discuss programs and therapies for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The sources examine child-centered play therapy, the Learn to Play program, and music interaction therapy. While the studies found these approaches can improve social and communication skills for some children with ASD, they note limitations in the research and need for more studies on long-term benefits and implementing programs in schools. The annotations evaluate the relevance and usefulness of each source for researchers exploring interventions for children with ASD.
Evaluation Q3
The document discusses the results of a survey given to the audience of a short documentary about mental health. The survey asked about gender, age, opinions on mental health, and how the documentary could be improved. The majority of respondents were female, between ages 11-19, and felt the documentary successfully spread awareness about mental illness. Respondents indicated more case studies or illnesses could be covered to improve the documentary. The interview segment was the favorite part as it provided a personal perspective.

Commitment of Professionalism 2
A great passion of mine is to advocate for child abuse and neglect. Research shows that
child abuse and neglect is a critical issue because it happens daily. The focus of my advocacy
efforts is child abuse and neglect as I am passionate about the well-being and safety of all
children. I would like to address the issue of abuse and neglect of children by their caregivers or
any adult figure. Although some parents may have the means to provide adequate resources, they
oftentimes fail to satisfy areas of needs with children that include but are not limited to
compassion, respect, access to learning resources, proper food and clothing, protection and
safety, good moral character development, love and much more.
An example of a policymaker I would consult would be the Department of Children and
Families (DCF). The Department of Children and Families would be first on my list to contact as
they are easily accessible and ready for contact as they deal with child abuse, exploitation, and
neglect directly. Furthermore, the Department of Children and Families are always open to
providing information that will be useful on the topic and assistance with furthering knowledge
on the processes and issues with child abuse and neglect. The strategies that will be used to gain
support from the Department of Children and Families would include formally arranging a
meetin.

Oom not doom a novel method for improving psychological science, Bradley WoodsNZ Psychological Society
The document summarizes a novel method called Observation Oriented Modeling (OOM) for improving psychological science. OOM aims to address issues with traditional research methods like overreliance on group-level analyses and improper use of null hypothesis significance testing. It uses binary coding of observations and matrix algebra operations to model causal relationships between deep structures in data. Statistics like the Classification Strength Index and Percent Correct Classification evaluate how well a target matrix is conformed by a rotated conforming matrix, indicating causal relationships.Consideration of symptom validity as a routine component of forensic assessme...
Consideration of symptom validity as a routine component of forensic assessme...NZ Psychological Society
This document discusses the importance of assessing symptom validity as a routine part of forensic psychological assessments. It provides examples of response biases and incentives that could influence self-reported symptoms. The document argues that evaluating symptom validity strengthens psychological contributions to forensic settings by testing alternative hypotheses and conclusions. It also provides case examples and practice points for incorporating symptom validity assessments.Reflections on depression, Hilary Bradley
The document summarizes a study that explored the experiences of previously clinically depressed adults in New Zealand. [13 participants were interviewed and discussed perceived causes of their depression such as early trauma, bullying, attachment issues, and avoidance behaviors. The predominant theme was stress and anxiety. Many participants linked experiences like childhood trauma, loss, and bullying to causing their depression. The study highlights the importance of addressing social factors and stressors rather than solely biological explanations for depression.]

Qualitative research as an adjunct to the therapeutic training of counselling...NZ Psychological Society
The document discusses how undertaking qualitative research can improve therapeutic abilities for counselling psychologists. It describes the six phases of qualitative research: choosing a topic, conducting research interviews, initial data analysis through coding, abstract/symbolic analysis, theory construction, and writing/presentation. Throughout each phase, maintaining empathy, curiosity, flexibility and openness is important. By tolerating uncertainty and avoiding premature conclusions, deeper meanings and insights can emerge from the data to inform therapeutic understanding. Qualitative research done well involves fully engaging with participants' experiences while maintaining optimal distance to allow patterns and theories to form.Do increased levels of wellbeing lead to increased levels of resilience in ad...

The document summarizes research on factors related to resilience in children and adolescents. It discusses the history of resilience research and factors studied like risk factors and protective factors. It describes a longitudinal study conducted over 3 years with 1,774 New Zealand adolescents to examine the relationships between resilience, well-being, and positive affect over time using surveys. The study found that well-being predicted increases in resilience, but positive affect did not. Resilience and well-being showed a bidirectional relationship. Mediation analyses found that social resources and reductions in negative attributes mediated the relationships between resilience and well-being.Breaking through the “cinderella bias” barrier stepfamily relationships, Celi...
Breaking through the “cinderella bias” barrier stepfamily relationships, Celi...NZ Psychological Society
This document summarizes research on positive functioning stepfamilies. It acknowledges past research showing factors like fairness, acceptance, forgiveness, and quality family time contribute to stepfamily success. The study involved 40 stepfamilies totaling 155 participants who completed family meetings and questionnaires. Common fairness situations involved differential treatment of children and household chores. Resolutions generally involved clear rules and communication. Participants reported feeling less negative emotions like anger after resolving issues. Forgiveness was seen as important for family functioning. Advice focused on treating all family members equally, communicating openly, and spending quality time together.M Lammers, Culturally responsive interventions for Maori clients
The document discusses the experiences of a non-Māori therapist working with Māori clients in New Zealand. It emphasizes the importance of working in a culturally safe way to honor the Treaty of Waitangi and better serve clients. This involves understanding how one's own background and culture can influence perspectives as well as familiarizing oneself with Māori values, worldviews, and cultural practices to provide holistic and responsive care.
S Reid, Treatment options for insomnia
1. The document discusses a study on treatment options for insomnia in primary care settings in New Zealand. It examines how patients view available treatments and the relationship between sleep beliefs, treatment choices, and insomnia symptoms.
2. The study found that patients were not accessing effective non-medication treatments and those using prescription medication had greater sleep difficulties. Greater endorsement of unhelpful sleep beliefs was related to longer term medication use.
3. The conclusions suggest cognitive behavioral therapy could help patients improve sleep and reduce medication use by addressing unhelpful sleep beliefs.

Therefore, this study does not support previous research findings that drawing positively impacts young children's recall.

Using Cognitive Interviews in Nigeria to Pre-test Child, Caregiver, and House...
1. Cognitive interviews were conducted in Nigeria with caregivers and children to pre-test survey tools developed by MEASURE Evaluation to measure outcomes for orphan and vulnerable children programs.
2. The interviews helped validate translations, refine response categories, better understand recall periods, and assess comprehension of concepts. For example, rural respondents had difficulty with 4-point scales so they were simplified.
3. Both adults and children struggled with some questions, showing the need to adapt questions or probes for the local context. The cognitive interviews provided valuable insights for finalizing the survey tools.

Abstract
The focus of the research will be oneffects of domestic violence on children with particular attention on those children brought up by intimate partners. Exposing children to domestic violence affects children psychologically, physically and emotionally. Literature suggests that domestic violence has lasting effects on children. This research will focus on children who have reached the school-going age from five years to thirteen years.
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
The study is aimed at researching and finding out the effects of domestic violence on children.
Scope of the Study
This study will focus on domestic violence in families from an intimate partner and how the children are affected by either being victims or witnesses.
The rationale of the Study
When children are exposed to domestic violence, their mental health is negatively affected. These are aspects that affect their ability to feel empathy and make them experience social discomfort. To understand the children's emotions, forensic psychologists use their expertise to assess and identify the sources of the problem.
The hypothesis of the Question
H1:Domestic violence affects the physical and emotional well-being of children
H2: Forensic psychologists provide wholesome support to children who experience or witness domestic violence
Key Concepts
Domestic violence: the abuse of power occurs when a partner physically or psychologically abuses or dominates the other.
Intimate partner violence: this is sexual, physical, or psychological abuse
Child abuse: this is emotional or physical harm by a caregiver to the child.
Forensic Psychologist: an expert in forensics and psychology.
Literature Review
Children living in an abusive home are more likely to experience social alienation. They are mentally affected and hence find it difficult to relate with others. According to Lloyd, this is an effect that affects their performance in school due to lack of concentration (2018). These children are also anxious because they can relate to the events taking place at home. Therefore, they perform poorly because of anxiety and fear that is directed towards adults, including teachers.
Maltreatment of the children affects them over a long time leading to emotional and psychological effects. The physiological changes are due to the effects on the child's brain. This leads to the changes that cause emotional stress and depression. According to Mallett and Schall, domestic violence against children is classified as criminal acts under the law (2019). The impacts they have can affect the future and mental stability of the child.
Although domestic violence is known to cause negative impacts on children, there are more cases not being reported. This is primarily due to the intimidation from the perpetrator (Sullivan, 2018). The child ...
6 sample annotated bibliographystudent name
This document provides annotations for 4 sources that discuss programs and therapies for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The sources examine child-centered play therapy, the Learn to Play program, and music interaction therapy. While the studies found these approaches can improve social and communication skills for some children with ASD, they note limitations in the research and need for more studies on long-term benefits and implementing programs in schools. The annotations evaluate the relevance and usefulness of each source for researchers exploring interventions for children with ASD.
Evaluation Q3
The document discusses the results of a survey given to the audience of a short documentary about mental health. The survey asked about gender, age, opinions on mental health, and how the documentary could be improved. The majority of respondents were female, between ages 11-19, and felt the documentary successfully spread awareness about mental illness. Respondents indicated more case studies or illnesses could be covered to improve the documentary. The interview segment was the favorite part as it provided a personal perspective.

Commitment of Professionalism 2
A great passion of mine is to advocate for child abuse and neglect. Research shows that
child abuse and neglect is a critical issue because it happens daily. The focus of my advocacy
efforts is child abuse and neglect as I am passionate about the well-being and safety of all
children. I would like to address the issue of abuse and neglect of children by their caregivers or
any adult figure. Although some parents may have the means to provide adequate resources, they
oftentimes fail to satisfy areas of needs with children that include but are not limited to
compassion, respect, access to learning resources, proper food and clothing, protection and
safety, good moral character development, love and much more.
An example of a policymaker I would consult would be the Department of Children and
Families (DCF). The Department of Children and Families would be first on my list to contact as
they are easily accessible and ready for contact as they deal with child abuse, exploitation, and
neglect directly. Furthermore, the Department of Children and Families are always open to
providing information that will be useful on the topic and assistance with furthering knowledge
on the processes and issues with child abuse and neglect. The strategies that will be used to gain
support from the Department of Children and Families would include formally arranging a
meetin.

Oom not doom a novel method for improving psychological science, Bradley WoodsNZ Psychological Society
The document summarizes a novel method called Observation Oriented Modeling (OOM) for improving psychological science. OOM aims to address issues with traditional research methods like overreliance on group-level analyses and improper use of null hypothesis significance testing. It uses binary coding of observations and matrix algebra operations to model causal relationships between deep structures in data. Statistics like the Classification Strength Index and Percent Correct Classification evaluate how well a target matrix is conformed by a rotated conforming matrix, indicating causal relationships.Consideration of symptom validity as a routine component of forensic assessme...
Consideration of symptom validity as a routine component of forensic assessme...NZ Psychological Society
This document discusses the importance of assessing symptom validity as a routine part of forensic psychological assessments. It provides examples of response biases and incentives that could influence self-reported symptoms. The document argues that evaluating symptom validity strengthens psychological contributions to forensic settings by testing alternative hypotheses and conclusions. It also provides case examples and practice points for incorporating symptom validity assessments.Reflections on depression, Hilary Bradley
The document summarizes a study that explored the experiences of previously clinically depressed adults in New Zealand. [13 participants were interviewed and discussed perceived causes of their depression such as early trauma, bullying, attachment issues, and avoidance behaviors. The predominant theme was stress and anxiety. Many participants linked experiences like childhood trauma, loss, and bullying to causing their depression. The study highlights the importance of addressing social factors and stressors rather than solely biological explanations for depression.]

The document discusses how undertaking qualitative research can improve therapeutic abilities for counselling psychologists. It describes the six phases of qualitative research: choosing a topic, conducting research interviews, initial data analysis through coding, abstract/symbolic analysis, theory construction, and writing/presentation. Throughout each phase, maintaining empathy, curiosity, flexibility and openness is important. By tolerating uncertainty and avoiding premature conclusions, deeper meanings and insights can emerge from the data to inform therapeutic understanding. Qualitative research done well involves fully engaging with participants' experiences while maintaining optimal distance to allow patterns and theories to form.Do increased levels of wellbeing lead to increased levels of resilience in ad...

The document summarizes research on factors related to resilience in children and adolescents. It discusses the history of resilience research and factors studied like risk factors and protective factors. It describes a longitudinal study conducted over 3 years with 1,774 New Zealand adolescents to examine the relationships between resilience, well-being, and positive affect over time using surveys. The study found that well-being predicted increases in resilience, but positive affect did not. Resilience and well-being showed a bidirectional relationship. Mediation analyses found that social resources and reductions in negative attributes mediated the relationships between resilience and well-being.Breaking through the “cinderella bias” barrier stepfamily relationships, Celi...

This document summarizes research on positive functioning stepfamilies. It acknowledges past research showing factors like fairness, acceptance, forgiveness, and quality family time contribute to stepfamily success. The study involved 40 stepfamilies totaling 155 participants who completed family meetings and questionnaires. Common fairness situations involved differential treatment of children and household chores. Resolutions generally involved clear rules and communication. Participants reported feeling less negative emotions like anger after resolving issues. Forgiveness was seen as important for family functioning. Advice focused on treating all family members equally, communicating openly, and spending quality time together.M Lammers, Culturally responsive interventions for Maori clients
The document discusses the experiences of a non-Māori therapist working with Māori clients in New Zealand. It emphasizes the importance of working in a culturally safe way to honor the Treaty of Waitangi and better serve clients. This involves understanding how one's own background and culture can influence perspectives as well as familiarizing oneself with Māori values, worldviews, and cultural practices to provide holistic and responsive care.
S Reid, Treatment options for insomnia
1. The document discusses a study on treatment options for insomnia in primary care settings in New Zealand. It examines how patients view available treatments and the relationship between sleep beliefs, treatment choices, and insomnia symptoms.
2. The study found that patients were not accessing effective non-medication treatments and those using prescription medication had greater sleep difficulties. Greater endorsement of unhelpful sleep beliefs was related to longer term medication use.
3. The conclusions suggest cognitive behavioral therapy could help patients improve sleep and reduce medication use by addressing unhelpful sleep beliefs.
S Reid, Application of the MTC:R3 Typology
This study applied the Massachusetts Treatment Centre Revised Rapist Typology (MTC:R3) to classify 10 high-risk rapists in New Zealand who were selected for a sex offender treatment pilot program. The study found that the MTC:R3 typology could successfully classify this sample and mean differences were observed in risk assessment scores between the typology groups. The results suggest the typology may help differentiate patterns of risk for rapists and could have applications for treatment programs.
R Anand, Social relationships of adolescents
This study explored the social relationships of 4 immigrant adolescents in New Zealand, 2 living in nuclear family settings and 2 living in communal family settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the nature, frequency, and purpose of relationships with family and non-family members. Preliminary findings suggest those in communal settings did not necessarily have more relationships than those in nuclear settings. The small sample size limits conclusions but generates questions around acculturation and social support networks for immigrant youth.
F O'Connor, Lubricating civic reconstruction ppt
This document discusses the challenges facing organizations in coordinating recovery efforts following the Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand. It notes that recovery will require integrated decision making across many organizations with differing interests. As time passes, organizations are finding they have insufficient resources to maintain early recovery collaboration. There is also a risk of growing inter-organizational strain as linkages between groups break down. To fully recover, it will be important to address both structural needs like rebuilding infrastructure as well as social needs to support economic recovery and community wellbeing over the long term. Effective ongoing leadership will be critical to sustain recovery efforts and maintain morale.
N Wilson, Dynamic Risk and Protective Assessment
The document discusses several studies related to assessing dynamic risk factors for parolees and offenders. It finds that parole officers can achieve moderate to high accuracy in predicting recidivism when assessing dynamic risk factors, even with limited tools. Multiple reassessments of dynamic risk over time provide better predictions than a single pre-release assessment. Studies also found parole officers focus more on superficial engagement than targeting criminogenic needs and using cognitive behavioral techniques, as associated with reduced recidivism. The document introduces a structured tool called DRAOR for assessing dynamic risk, acute risk, and protective factors.
R Gammon, Family therapy training
Children, adolescents and families make up 50% of clients seen in psychology clinics across New Zealand and Australia. Half of respondents report offering family therapy, but only 27% require one family therapy course, and over 50% integrate it into general courses or have little training. A literature review found nothing on family therapy training in New Zealand except a 2009 report recommending postgraduate courses and national training programs recognizing cultural contexts. Potential training models include seminars and sessions with reflecting teams. A Family Therapy Reference Group was formed to promote workforce development through conferences, standards, and a national association.
G Sutton, NZDF response to Christchurch eq feb 2011
The document summarizes the New Zealand Defense Force's (NZDF) response to the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. It discusses (1) the NZDF's involvement in relief efforts through Operation Awhina, with 1800 personnel deployed across the navy, army, and air force; (2) the psychological response which aimed to reduce stress through education and identifying at-risk personnel; and (3) lessons learned, including the need for responsive capability and supervision for personnel providing support.
D de Jong, Prostate cancer brachytherapy
The document summarizes a study on the effects of brachytherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on quality of life and sexual function in prostate cancer patients. The study found that brachytherapy had negative impacts on urinary symptoms, quality of life, and sexual function over time. Patients receiving ADT in addition to brachytherapy experienced worse urinary symptoms. Sexual function scores declined significantly following treatment. Younger patients reported more side effects initially. While some symptoms may stabilize over longer periods, short-term impacts persisted at two years post-treatment.
S Calvert, The connectedness in youth project
The document discusses three research projects that used methodology to analyze what is not directly said in interviews. The researchers hypothesized that answers may lie outside of conscious knowledge and aimed to have a relational process where the researcher is also a participant. Psychoanalytic ideas and narrative theory were used to analyze interviews on multiple levels, looking beyond what was said to subjects' constructions of self and stories. The women in STEM project found complex family relationships important. The youth connectedness project found secure attachments and achievement provide scaffolding for development, though some rely on little support. The research itself created new connections for some youth.
S de Wattignar, Understanding the process of supported recovery
This document summarizes a qualitative study exploring service users' subjective experiences of an early intervention service for psychosis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 service users about their life prior to engaging with the service, factors influencing recovery, and their experience of the recovery process. The therapeutic relationship was found to be the most commonly cited factor positively influencing recovery. Key aspects of the therapeutic relationship that helped recovery included clinicians taking a personable approach, forming a collaborative treatment partnership, and providing a client-focused service. A lack of these relationship elements was seen as negatively impacting recovery. The quality of the therapeutic relationship affected other recovery factors. Clinical implications include tailoring the relationship to better meet clients' needs.
