Scientist-Practitioner Approach
Published in Lori R. Kogan, Phyllis Erdman, Career Paths in Human-Animal Interaction for Social and Behavioral Scientists, 2021
As a licensed clinical professional counselor and horse owner who specializes in EAP/EAL and human-animal interaction (HAI), my career involves diverse roles. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in applied psychology and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Bemidji State University, I have gone on to explore opportunities and work in clinical practice, teaching, and research. I also became certified through Eagala (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) and opened a private practice, specializing in EAP. As a lifelong horse lover, I feel blessed to work in the field of EAP and AAI, helping people heal through this powerful work. I am also excited to be entering my second year of teaching as an adjunct psychology instructor at BSU, my alma mater.
What Promotes Joy
Published in Eve Shapiro, Joy in Medicine?, 2020
I got into the PhD program in counseling psychology at the state university and to a clinical program at a private university. They were excellent programs but the only one that would let me go part-time was the state university and I needed to maintain a part-time practice for financial reasons. I was in for a couple of months when I realized this was not working for me.
Evaluating Analysis and Results Sections: Qualitative Research
Published in Fred Pyrczak, Maria Tcherni-Buzzeo, Evaluating Research in Academic Journals, 2018
Fred Pyrczak, Maria Tcherni-Buzzeo
Mary Lee Nelson is a professor of counseling psychology. She came from a lower middle, working-class background, was the first in her family to pursue higher education, and had many of the experiences described by the research participants. This background provided her with important insights about the data. In addition, it might have biased her expectations about what participants’ experiences would be. She expected to hear stories of financial hardship, social confusion, loneliness, and challenges with personal and career identity development. Matt Englar-Carlson is a counseling psychologist and currently an associate professor of counselor education. He has a strong interest in new developments in social class theory. He comes from a middle-class, educated family background. He came to the study with expectations that findings might conform to the social class worldview model, as developed by Liu (2001). Sandra C. Tierney is a recent graduate of a doctoral program in counseling psychology…

Published in Clinical Gerontologist, 2022
Grace I. L. Caskie, Shannon L. Patterson, Abigail R. Voelkner
Almost half of participants (46.5%, n = 227) were enrolled in a Ph.D. (n = 153) or Psy.D. (n = 74) program in clinical or counseling psychology, with the remaining 53.5% (n = 261) pursuing a master’s degree in counseling/clinical psychology, social work, or another counseling-related program. Most participants (85.0%, n = 415) identified as female; the remainder identified as male (14.1%, n = 69), trans-man (0.2%, n = 1), or self-identified genders (0.6%, n = 3). For racial/ethnic background, 79.3% selected White/Caucasian/non-Hispanic; the remainder identified as follows: 5.1% Asian/Pacific Islander, 3.9% as other, 3.7% Hispanic/Latino, 3.7% biracial/multi-ethnic, 3.5% Black/African American, 0.8% Native American/American Indian. Trainee ages ranged from 21 to 66 years (M = 27.8, SD = 6.6), with 94% under 40 years of age; 28.5% (n = 166) chose not to report age. Trainees represented 38 of the 50 United States; 3% were in Canada. Most reported their social class as middle class (46.5%, n = 227) or working class (33.4%, n = 163); the remainder identified as follows: 8.4% lower class, 10.0% upper middle class, 1.6% upper class. Most reported not having taken a course in their graduate program focused specifically on older adults or aging (78%, n = 379).
Views of non-Western trainee or recently-qualified practitioner psychologists on the import of Western psychology into their indigenous non-Western cultures
Published in International Journal of Mental Health, 2019
Katriona Taylor, Gerald H. Burgess
Despite numerous discursive papers, often written from Western perspectives in regard to the import of Western psychology into other countries, there appears to be a paucity of research that directly aims to gather the perspectives of non-Western psychologists on the matter. One exception was a qualitative study by Duan et al. (2011), in which eight Southeast Asian counseling psychologists were interviewed. Key findings included that the major assumptions of US counseling psychology, (a) limited its transferability to Southeast Asian cultures (because of issues such as the non-fluidity of professional-client boundaries and an individualistic focus), and (b) did not sufficiently include cross-cultural teaching, experiential learning, international exchange and collaboration. The authors concluded that such barriers were a problem, however that Western counseling psychology retained relevance. To overcome the barriers, however, the theories and methods of counseling psychology needed to be adapted to suit a particular country’s (or people’s) cultural understandings and values.
Hypnosis and The Therapeutic Relationship: Relational Factors of Hypnosis in Psychotherapy
Published in American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 2019
Eric B. Spiegel, Elgan L. Baker, Carolyn Daitch, Michael J. Diamond, Maggie Phillips
Perhaps one of the largest impediments toward a more sophisticated integration of relational factors into definitional and conceptual understanding of hypnosis has to do with the unique cross-disciplinary nature of the professional hypnosis societies. Healthcare professions are a “big tent,” including diverse fields such as medicine, psychology, and dentistry, among others. Even within fields there can be wide differences in specialization and focus. Take psychology, for example. Psychologists in academia and clinical practice will inevitably approach hypnosis from different lenses. The same is true for psychologists in varying fields of psychology. An experimental psychologist is more likely to have interest in consciousness and state factors of hypnosis than a clinical psychologist. Even within the therapy fields of psychology, such as clinical and counseling psychology, how a psychologist conceptualizes and practices can be quite different, based on theoretical orientation, specialization, and the setting in which he or she practices. As a result, although we (i.e., hypnosis professionals) may all convene at the same hypnosis professional meetings and read the same journals, our interests in hypnosis are bound to differ significantly.
