The study is focused on the applied task of determination of self-ignition (flash) temperature of unstable substances in order to facilitate occupational safety without conducting large-scale experiments. For two representatives of a number of naphthoquinonediazides, semi-products of production of positive photoresists—monosodium salt 1,2- naphthoquinondiazide(2)-5-sulfonic acid (Dye M) and 1,2-naphthoquinondiazide(2)-5-sulfochloride (Dye N2), the applicability of the thermal explosion classic theory has been proved. Using experimental kinetic parameters and the heat of decomposition of dyes, parameters of a thermal explosion in adiabatic conditions and convective heat transfer conditions have been calculated. As the analysis of obtained dependences shows, the linear dependence of slow growth (induction period) with time transforms into exponential dependence for each substance. Notably, the heat resistance of Dyes М and N2 is rather low. It has been shown that the slow decomposition of substances in conditions of the missing heat sink can transform into the stage of thermal explosion. The design temperature of self-ignition (flash) of the substance calculated considering the heat sink and the geometry of process equipment is 135 °C for Dye М and 93 °C for Dye N2, which complies with the experimental data. The recommendations on the selection of safe temperatures for drying modes of the studied compounds have been provided.
Investigation of the parameters of railroad train aspiration system

Published: October 2024

The rail-grinding technology is used for the railway network of the JSC RZhD to eliminate rail defects and extend the lifecycle of the railway track. In order to implement the rail-grinding technology, currently, rail-grinding trains RShP-48 are used. Rails are ground with special grinding wheels made of zirconium electro-corundum manufactured based on aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide, with bakelite organic bond as a binder. In addition, the abrasive wheel composition includes various chemical components. When an abrasive tool is destructed, grinding waste in the form of suspensions is generated during its mechanic work. The suspensions spread over long distances and negatively affect both the environment and the working conditions of the rail-grinding train maintenance personnel. Today, the company «Sinara — Transport Machines» is developing a new rail-grinding train RShP 2.0 with a pre-installed aspiration system to collect grinding wastes for further utilization. When developing the technical design of RShP 2.0, the main characteristics of the aspiration system have been determined. In order to confirm the efficiency of the obtained parameters of the aspiration system, laboratory tests have been conducted on a special rail-grinding unit. According to the results, the aspiration system with the stated technical characteristics absorbs the fine fraction of grinding products which is about 50 % of the total lost mass of the grinding wheel. Considering a large abrasive that sticks to the spark arrestors together with metal chips, the aspiration system RShP 2.0 will enable removing up to 90 % of grinding waste.
Models of Organizational Supervision - Research Reflections
Authors: Vaska Ladislav , Brozmanová Gregorová Alžbeta , Vrťová Jana
Published: October 2024

The scientific monograph of a research character extends the scientific (theoretical-research) platform with knowledge about organization supervision and models of organization supervision and thus creates a comprehensive concept of organization supervision. Based on the identified research findings, the aim was also to develop models of organization supervision that are realistically used in supervision practice, and then to conceptualize these findings for the field of supervision in social work. Based on the research conducted, the authors were able to create 4 models of organizational supervision: 1) Organizational supervision focused on evaluating the quality of Services 2) Organizational supervision as a guide in the process of change 3) Organizational supervision focused on the problém identified in the organization 4) Organizational supervision as a helping method in the development of the organization.
Volunteering Overseas: A Career Episode.
Authors: Hudson Sheena
Published: October 2024

This article focuses on the effect of a voluntary overseas aid assignment on career development, and compares such a career step or episode with other overseas career experiences such as the company expatriate assignment and the New Zealand "big OE" (overseas experience). In particular, the article reports on the findings of a recently completed longitudinal study of 48 such volunteers who were recruited by New Zealand Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA). The article considers careers within the "New Careers" paradigm of career development theory, and in particular the effects of individual self-direction in career, across international boundaries. Analysis of data from the recent study suggests VSA volunteers are individuals who are knowledge workers, making cross-cultural experience and learning a key focus of their careers, combined with an altruistic desire to aid those less fortunate than themselves.

Encouraging Counsellors to Become Active Researchers and Users of Research.
Authors: Manthei Robert
Published: October 2024

According to the professional literature counsellors around the world do very little research, nor do they read or make use of the research that does exist. The same situation exists in New Zealand. Because of the many compelling ethical, economic and accountability-based reasons for doing and using research, this article makes a case for more counsellors to become research-active, and suggests how they might initiate that process. This paper is divided into two parts. The first reviews the relationship of counselling to counselling research in New Zealand. The second speaks to counsellors directly, encouraging them to take a broader and more realistic approach, and giving practical advice.

Professionalisation for New Zealand Career Practice: Lessons to Learn, Challenges to Meet.
Authors: Furbish Dale S.
Published: October 2024

The New Zealand Association of Counsellors has been engaged in a professionalisation process for counselling in New Zealand since the mid-1980s. The issues surrounding professionalisation have been well documented in the New Zealand Journal of Counselling. The Career Practitioners Association of New Zealand is now attempting to establish a professional environment for career practice in New Zealand. In this article, the author suggests that professionalisation for career practice involves many of the same issues that were salient for counselling, and that professionalisation of career practice would be facilitated by referring to counselling's experience. Critical issues and needed steps for professionalisation of career practice are further identified in the article.

Interactive Drawing Therapy: Working with Therapeutic Imagery.
Authors: Withers Russell
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces the nature and practice of Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT), and describes key psychological elements that are encountered when clients use pages as a therapeutic device. IDT has consonance with aspects of psychodynamic (especially Jungian) personality theory, with certain aspects of art therapy, and with psychological research on brain functioning. While strongly developed in Australasia over the last 15 years, with over 4000 enrolments in training courses, IDT's status as a formal professional modality requires further attention to the articulation of its theoretical structure, and research into the effectiveness of its practices. This article, together with its two companions, represents a modest but important step in this process.

Tikanga and Ethics: A Dialogical Encounter of Two Cultures.
Authors: Lang Steve K. W.
Published: October 2024

This discourse resulted from two counselling practitioners, one Māori and one Pākehā, working together to establish a union of two cultural codes. Their conversations are transcribed, analysed and presented, along with the processes they used to attempt a dialogical synthesis of two cultural traditions and positions. The resulting article explores the coming together of two cultural codes of best practice, and argues that what is created is a third code -- a bicultural code, which is not so much written as one that is typified by doing. One code may be referred to as 'tikanga', the other 'ethics'. The former originates from the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand, the latter has its roots in the European traditions, and both have been updated and made modern by a series of revisions and refinements. A glossary of Māori terms is provided in Appendix 1.

It adds that the effects of globalisation and migration have allowed counselors to work with clients from different cultures. It discusses the challenge for counsellors wanting to express feminism in their practice.
A History of Marriage Guidance in New Zealand.
Authors: Penny Ruth , Epston David , Agee Margaret
Published: October 2024

The article focuses on the involvement of the late counsellor Esther Hall with the Marriage Guidance Council (MGC) in New Zealand. In 1962, Hall started working for MGC which focused around social contact and community involvement. It cites the move of MGC to consider training non-medical and non-professional people. Tutors of MGC started to do more community work, such as pre-marriage courses.
A Deeper Rap.
Authors: Burke Alison
Published: October 2024

As counsellors working with adolescents, and concerned with young people's wellbeing, we cannot discount hip hop and rap as "mere noise"--an annoyance to be turned off and ignored .Despite negative press, these two forms of music have survived and flourished, and can have a huge impact on our youth. This essay argues that taking the time to pause, investigate, and reflect on these two closely related musical genres, and their impact on adolescent lives and development, will lead us to a deeper understanding of the world of adolescents and the forging of stronger empathic working relationships. It addresses questions concerning the ways in which hip hop and rap speak to adolescents' meaning-making and identity formation, and how they contribute to their sense of place and space, both individually and communally. It supports the importance of these two often-misunderstood musical forms in adolescents' lives--in short, it shows the positive impact rap and hip hop can have on adolescent spirituality.

A Response to Philip Culbertson's Presentation.
Authors: Penny Ruth
Published: October 2024

The author comments on a presentation on Christian counselling by Philip Culbertson delivered in New Zealand on July 18, 2008. She notes that being a pastoral counsellor in a church that observes the discipleship movement made her experience a dilemma between offering freedom to people and being a standard of behaviour in her parish. She agrees with the practice of Culbertson of not running the word Christian and counsellor together. In the author's opinion, most people of faith hold both the espoused theology and the embodied theology.
Working with Students Who Have Asperger's Syndrome.
Authors: McMillan Dave
Published: October 2024

Misunderstandings on the part of teachers about the reasons for socially inappropriate behaviour have the potential to cause major problems for some young men with Asperger's Syndrome. This was evident in the cases of two students with whom I have worked as a guidance counsellor in a New Zealand high school. Narrative Therapy concepts of "thin" and "thick" descriptions are used to provide more sympathetic and supportive understandings of their behaviour. Those more helpful "thick" descriptions make use of current diagnostic criteria and research about Asperger's Syndrome. Methods of working therapeutically with adolescents and their families are presented from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and contemporary, evidence-based perspectives. School guidance counsellors can have an influential role in challenging unhelpful "thin descriptions" about the problematic behaviours, in developing those more supportive "thick descriptions," and in promoting more socially appropriate behaviour in these young people through therapeutic interventions. Potential challenges in this work are also addressed.

Interpreting "Partnership" as a Core Value.
Authors: Crocket Alastair
Published: October 2024

The New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) Code of Ethics sits within the context of the Treaty-centred politics of contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand. In the Introduction to the Code there are specific references to the Treaty, and the Core Values include "partnership." This article explores and particularises specific meanings of partnership associated with the Treaty of Waitangi, drawing on the Royal Commission on Social Policy (1988). From this exploration it goes on to suggest that there are multiple sites where counsellors might respond to the Treaty partnership responsibilities that the Code invokes. In particular, the argument is made that responsibility to engage in partnership activities stretches beyond direct client practice into workplace, professional affiliation, and national political life.

"This is me sitting down on the step with myself.".
Authors: Wright Jeannie
Published: October 2024

In this article the person-centred approach is suggested as one theoretical understanding of a particular form of expressive and reflective writing using dialogue. It is also suggested that the person-centred approach is close to the practice of mindfulness, which has been aligned more with cognitive therapy in the literature for the prevention of relapse in the treatment of depression. Through a form of dialogical journal writing, "Jane," who had previously consulted her doctor and a counsellor about depression, found nurturing and non-judgemental qualities in a "voice" which she created. The therapeutic potential of this form of writing is presented here through a case study of Jane, who also used a form of mindfulness in dialogical writing to increase her awareness and her well-being in everyday life. Setting boundaries at work, for example, was a key area of change which Jane was able to articulate and which she ascribed to the practice of writing. A feminist critique of the person-centred approach is outlined and suggestions for further research into self-help using creative writing and mindfulness are indicated.

Career Themes in the Lives of Sexual Abuse Counsellors.
Authors: Pack Margaret
Published: October 2024

This paper, which draws on material from a larger study, focuses on the career trajectories of counsellors who specialise in sexual abuse work. The initial aim of the study was to assess whether the vicarious traumatisation literature underpinned by constructivist self-development theory was relevant. Twenty-two counsellors were interviewed using a qualitative research design and method. In individual interviews, counsellors' motivations for entering the field of sexual abuse therapy were explored, as well as the ways in which their practice experiences had modified their earlier expectations of the work, and the counsellors' subsequent diversification into other roles. The participants in the research, hereafter referred to as the counsellor-participants, described developments in their thinking about sexual abuse that influenced the theoretical approaches they espoused and their career development. Coming to terms with their own early traumatic material meant that many of the counsellor-participants developed knowledge of their own healing processes that they could use constructively in assisting other trauma survivors.

Of Locusts, Looming Tsunamis, and Letting It All Out.
Authors: Kelleher Judith , Foggitt Roger , Hansen Jason
Published: October 2024

In her work as a school counsellor, the first author was concerned for the emotional resilience and welfare of the high school's senior male students. This article details the participatory action research she undertook--in association with the other two authors--to address this concern. The first author established a pilot programme designed to investigate the potential of mentored self-help groups for Year 12 boys who wished to expand their range of emotional tools. One group of volunteers from Year 13 were mentored by the second author, a counselling professional from outside the school, and they offered expert commentary on their recent experience of Year 12. A second group comprised of Year 12 students spoke freely about their concerns surrounding expectations from both school and the wider community culture. Their meetings became a keenly anticipated part of their school week and they formed alliances that were new and supportive. They were enthusiastic about keeping their group going into the future and also mentoring new groups in 2011 for boys moving up into Year 12. The article examines the development of both the Year 13 and Year 12 groups and reflects on the findings from the pilot programme, focusing on the viability of the continued operation of similar groups within the school.

Death on a Smaller but Equal Scale.
Authors: Culbertson Philip
Published: October 2024

In 2007, I "retired" from teaching in New Zealand and moved back to the United States. Within a year, I found myself back in the classroom again, this time teaching a course entitled "Perspectives on Death and Dying" at the local community college. This article begins with an exploration of some of my own grief that I brought to the new task, and my challenges to engage an unfamiliar culture (Mexican Americans making up about 80% of the students in the class). It then surveys the topics the students chose to write about in their final summative essays over the three semesters that I have taught this course so far, as a glimpse into what troubles tertiary-age American college students about dying, grief, and death. The paper concludes with a description of how remaining aware of my own personal grief, processes, and the grief of others, outside of, but simultaneously with, the classroom experience better equipped me to teach the course and to be more sensitive to the encompassing grief that these socially marginalised students bring with them into the academic setting.

Students' Stories of Challenges and Gains in Learning Cognitive Therapy.
Authors: Fraser Niccy , Wilson Jan
Published: October 2024

Counsellor educators are responsible not only for teaching counselling students but also for facilitating their personal development processes during training. An understanding of student learning experiences can support counsellor educators in this task. This qualitative New Zealand study extends the examination of reflective practice by researching student reflections on their learning rather than the reflections of the educators. Using narrative method, it explored seven undergraduate students' experiences of learning cognitive therapy. Findings suggest that students experienced varied challenges during this process. These included the demands of: managing preconceptions, changing counselling models, matching student learning with tutor teaching styles, and translating the model cross-culturally. Out of these challenges emerged beneficial learning for students, including valuing self-development through self-practice, a deeper empathy for clients, and a growing perception of themselves as competent to apply cognitive therapy. This paper concludes by recommending some ways in which counsellor educators could support students in learning cognitive therapy.

Teaching Professional Ethics in Counsellor Education in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Authors: Crocket Kathie
Published: October 2024

One mark of a profession is that it articulates a shared vision of the responsibilities involved in professional relationships, generally expressed in a Code of Ethics. But what are the processes involved in inducting new members into a profession and offering them opportunities to translate and grow personal ethics into professional ethics? The study on which this article reports aimed to investigate the practices employed by counsellor educators in Aotearoa New Zealand in ethics education. The study asked two organising questions: what is taught, and how is it taught? In reporting on the study, this article seeks to offer a contribution to dialogue about how ethics might be learned and taught in initial counsellor education. The article raises questions for further discussion. To what extent should the how and what of ethics teaching be woven together? How do we educate for a practice where we cannot know ahead of time what ambiguities will emerge? How much theory of ethics is needed for ethical practice? When do we begin to teach ethics? How well are we teaching an ethics of partnership that is relevant for Aotearoa?

Counsellor Development and Spiritual Growth through Journaling.
Authors: Seth Frank
Published: October 2024

Autoethnography can be described as a combination of autobiography and ethnography. The story of how my life has been transformed during my own exploration of a life that seemed purposeless, and my subsequent training as a counsellor, is reflected upon, analysed and interpreted as a spiritual autoethnography. I have likened the development to that of a tree, my life-tree. While the first few years of growth seemed slow, this growth burgeoned with my deepening self-awareness after I began training as a Lifeline telephone counsellor. Then I cut loose from the security and financial support of my job, completing a psychology degree full-time and moving on to postgraduate study in counselling. Although initially I just wanted to do what was right for me personally, in retrospect I discern a spiritual sap flowing through the tree. Since I began journaling, my sense of meaninglessness has evaporated. Who and where I am right now seems exactly right.

Tumeke Bro'?
Authors: Mulqueeney Nick
Published: October 2024

This article was born out of reflecting on my relationships formed with Māori male tamariki as a White male counsellor. How possible is it for a Pākehā to be an effective counsellor with Māori tamariki? Or is the space between us too big to bridge? In addressing this question I explore and reflect on the implications of White privilege, and its effects on the space in which I meet with tamariki. Personal insights from reflecting on Māori concepts, the Treaty of Waitangi and my own culture and past confirm that yes, Pākehā can counsel Māori tamariki if they acknowledge the influence of White privilege in society, including in the counselling room; reflect on their own culture and past; are genuinely open, curious about and respectful toward Māori culture and language; and engage with the principles of the pōwhiri process in navigating their way through the space that invites both into respectful and safe relationship.

The Stance of Curiosity in the Classroom.
Authors: Kecskemeti Maria
Published: October 2024

Relationship competencies are emphasised in The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007). Alongside this, many schools have a growing interest in citizenship education. Relationship strategies traditionally used by counsellors are included in teachers' interactional repertoire. This article presents findings about the relationship potential of "a stance of not-knowing" when it was employed by teachers for educational rather than therapeutic purposes. Examples are drawn from the results of a research project that examined how teachers might utilise various conversational moves from narrative therapy in support of their relationship practices. In spite of the paradigmatic differences between counsellors' and teachers' work, and the consequent difficulties these might pose for teachers when they try to shift between different relationship paradigms, the research participants almost unanimously embraced a stance of not-knowing. While the enthusiasm of these teachers provides an argument for the positive potential of counselling knowledge beyond therapeutic contexts, I also raise questions about the overenthusiastic transport of counselling skills into the classroom. The purpose of this article is to encourage discussion among school counsellors and teachers about their respective roles and contributions to students' learning.

Published: October 2024

This article reports on research using writing workshops conducted with three women who distanced themselves from problematic relationships with their bodies that were induced by eating disorders. The article focuses on the use of writing tasks based on appreciative inquiry and outsider witnessing processes, practised with a group of women in a manner that provided space for the participants to story compassion for their bodies. The article explores the writing tasks that the participants were invited to undertake, and discusses the subsequent interviewing and outsider witnessing process as forms of narrative therapy practice. The article also documents the process of capturing a participant's voice in a rescued speech poem.

Evocative Engagement with Research.
Authors: McConnell Ruth A.
Published: October 2024

Teaching research methods to counselling students is an important aspect of developing competent, reflective practitioners who can demonstrate professionalism as well as contribute to the strengthening of the counselling profession. However, counselling practitioners still seem to be reluctant to engage in research. Low motivation, lack of confidence, and high anxiety, as well as confusion about the relevance of research skills when trying to learn counselling skills, have been identified as reasons for this reluctance. It is proposed that these impediments need to be addressed within counsellor education programmes in order to develop a long-term solution to this problem. This article discusses how a course in research methods is intentionally taught in a meaningful and evocative way in order to captivate the imaginations and motivations of counselling students in a Christian college. The results of a survey exploring the questions that counselling students bring to their engagement in research are presented, and recommendations are offered for how research methods can be taught more effectively to counsellors.

Strengthening student counsellors' resolve.
Authors: Ruru Te
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this article is to provide some background, history, and rationale for a process framework that provides robust, effective, and integrated scaffolding in which to situate counselling practice for student counsellors. Reflecting on experience as a counsellor, supervisor, and counsellor educator in two tertiary institutions in Aotearoa New Zealand, and on feedback from student counsellors and supervisees, the author reviews examples of process frameworks for counselling that have their origins in Aotearoa. Two possibilities are identified, and it is suggested that the structure of the hui is mirrored in these two frameworks. One example is highlighted as a way of synthesising the benefits of all three approaches for both counselling practice and counsellor education.

Young people's perspectives on school counselling.
Authors: Crocket Kathie , Kotzé Elmarie , Peter Mira
Published: October 2024

While school counselling is well established in secondary schools in Aotearoa New Zealand, there have been few resources available to establish a complementary research base. This article reports on a small survey study that investigated the perspectives of young people who had used school counselling services during the two weeks of the online survey. The survey replicated one strategy employed within a much larger evaluation study of the counselling services in three schools in Glasgow, Scotland. In focusing on only one research strategy--student self-report via survey--the study makes a small contribution to discussion of evaluation practices for school guidance counselling in New Zealand. As in the larger Glasgow study, young people in the small sample in this study evaluated school counselling as helpful across a number of dimensions of their lives.

A competency mechanism.
Authors: Drury Nick
Published: October 2024

A critical review is offered of the dominant “competency mechanisms” recommended by the “psy” professions for professional development and public assurance. Although the New Zealand Association of Counsellors has voted against registration under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (2003), it has advanced “competency mechanisms” similar to those developed by some of the registered professions. These mechanisms are a form of “panopticism,” which has been subject to severe criticism by Foucault and other scholars. A review of the evidence shows that neither licensing nor panopticonian self-examination protects the public as intended. An alternative mechanism of routine outcome monitoring is therefore suggested that makes practitioners more directly accountable to their clients, rather than to a third party. This not only positions counselling more favourably, both economically and politically, but also resonates better with the emerging 4E cognition paradigm, which promises to be ecologically more sound.

An account of family therapy in Aotearoa New Zealand from the 1960s to 1995 interpreted from the literature.
Authors: Whisker Craig
Published: October 2024

This description of family therapy in Aotearoa New Zealand from the 1960s to 1995 is the author’s interpretation of published literature. It traces the early influence of psychological medicine, social workers and overseas experts, leading to the spread of regional interest groups, national and binational conferences, and mounting sociopolitical pressure on family therapy from feminism, cultural justice and antipoverty movements during the 1980s. Several landmark publications and events in the period 1990–1995 reflect the growing stature and bright future of family therapy in New Zealand before controversy at the Third Joint Australia and New Zealand Family Therapy conference in Wellington during 1995 appears to catalyse a stalling of further national or binational development for over a decade. Critical research on the period 1990–1995 is proposed to explore what lessons the past may hold for the future development of family therapy in New Zealand.

Pacific counsellors' use of indigenous values, proverbs, metaphors, symbols, and stories in their counselling practices.
Authors: McRobie Sarah , Agee Margaret
Published: October 2024

This article reports some of the findings from a qualitative study, undertaken by the first author, to investigate the use of indigenous values, proverbs, metaphors, symbols, and stories in the therapeutic practices of experienced Pacific counsellors and psychotherapists. Incorporating both talanoa and grounded theory methodologies, the study aimed to give Pacific counsellors a voice in order to inform the development of counselling practice by both Pacific and non- Pacific practitioners who work with Pacific clients. Individual interviews were conducted with four female Pacific practitioners, three of whom were Islandborn and one New Zealand-born. All had completed their professional counselling training in New Zealand. Rich information was obtained about the ways in which participants incorporated a range of indigenous values, proverbs, metaphors, symbols, and stories in their counselling practices. This article foregrounds the voices of the participants in describing their sources of these verbal treasures, which included their parents, Pacific elders (matua), and their spirituality. Participants also tell stories of their use of indigenous values, concepts, and metaphors, and the ways that these have helped establish connections with clients and have supported their change processes and wellbeing. A future article will present the counselling model that has been developed from the results of this study and discuss the creative potential for interweaving indigenous Pacific and Western approaches.
