Authors: Boult Martin , Schaubhut Nancy , Thompson Rich , Dost Nikhita 
Published: January 2023

Key digested messageThis study explores the links between happiness, culture and MBTI personality type. Participants’ wellbeing was measured using Seligman’s (2011) PERMA model (Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment). Results showed differences in wellbeing and activities used to enhance wellbeing between both geographic regions and personality types. These findings can help provide evidence-based suggestions for enhancing wellbeing in a diverse and global workforce.

This article is about the fashioning and commodification of the profession of clinical psychology.If you’re hanging on to a rising balloon, you’re presented with a difficult decision. Let go before it’s too late? Or hang on and keep getting higher? Posing the question, how long can you keep a grip on the rope?

Maintaining bonds: Positive behaviour support and attachment theory
Authors: Skelly Allan 
Published: January 2023

‘The central task is to study the endless interactions of internal and external factors, and how one is influencing the other, not only during childhood but during adolescence and adult life as well.’ John Bowlby (1988) cited in Tizard (2009)Attachment theory is largely excluded from positive behaviour support (PBS), but this means that we ignore an important risk factor and outcome measure. In so doing, we distance ourselves from the clients’ experience of love and loss. The theoretical narratives conceptualise relationships incompatibly. Yet attachment insecurity is an important determinant of behaviour disturbance, probably even more so in people with intellectual disabilities. Security is mediated through the attachment behaviours of key carers. It is possible to incorporate attachment theory easily into PBS interventions and the benefits may be significant for the individuals receiving behaviour support plans.
From disintegration to integration: The value of spiritual care within mental health
Authors: Ball Gwendolyn 
Published: January 2023

‘And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.’(William Shakespeare, Hamlet)A service user describes her experience of mental health services and the dilemmas this has brought to her spiritual and religious beliefs through pathologising her deeply meaningful personal life. Her later experience of the Spiritual Care Team and the support provided by the chaplain are described, demonstrating how she was able to integrate her experiences into her self-identity and is now able to flourish without medication.
Understanding psychological theories within the SECURE STAIRS Framework for Integrated Care: An evaluation of training on attachment and developmental trauma within a secure children’s home
Authors: Farooq Romana , Martin Aisling , Addy Chelsea , Burgess Katie , Kennedy P.J. 
Published: January 2023

The SECURE STAIRS Framework for Integrated Care was developed by NHS England as a way to promote a trauma-informed, evidence-based and whole system approach to children and young people accommodated in the Secure Estate. A pilot ‘Attachment and Developmental Trauma’ training module was developed by the Atkinson Secure Children’s Home in conjunction with members of the SECURE STAIRS Professional Collaboration Network (PCN). Fifty-six staff members working within a Secure Children’s Home in the North East of England completed the 2 day training. A pre and post evaluation method was utilised to analyse the results.The data indicated increased staff knowledge, understanding and confidence in attachment theory, developmental trauma, brain development and working with guilt and shame. The data also demonstrated the importance of safety and containment in the training environment in fostering opportunities to learn and grow. The need for ongoing training, supervision and reflective practice within the SECURE STAIRS Framework for Integrated Care is considered in order to consolidate knowledge and implement learning into practice.
Methodological Paper Experiences of conducting qualitative meta-analysis
Authors: Timulak Ladislav , Creaner Mary 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusAs the body of qualitative research is growing qualitative meta-analyses are becoming necessary as a means to synthesise existing knowledge and extract evidence to inform theory, practice and policy development. While each qualitative meta-analytic study is unique in its endeavour, some basic principles inform this systematic procedure and a number of epistemological and methodological factors need to be taken into account when undertaking a qualitative meta-analysis. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the authors’ experiences of conducting qualitative meta-analysis and their reflections on the meta-analytic process. The challenges inherent in conducting such studies are discussed in light of the authors’ experiences regarding some of the issues they have encountered in conducting meta-analyses. An account of the limitations of the qualitative meta-analysis approach is given, and the authors provide illustrative examples from qualitative meta-analyses they have undertaken. It is hoped that this paper will provide points of reflection and guidance to other researchers who wish to undertake qualitative meta-analysis and to practitioners who seek to evaluate and utilise the findings from qualitative meta-analyses.

Published: January 2023

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the outcomes, acceptability and helpful aspects of a pluralistic therapeutic intervention for depression.DesignThe study adopted a multisite, non-randomised, pre-/post-intervention design.MethodsParticipants experiencing moderate or more severe levels of depression (as assessed by a score of 10 or greater on the Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale, PHQ-9) were offered up to 24 weeks of pluralistic therapy for depression. This is a collaborative integrative practice oriented around shared decision making on the goals and methods of therapy. Of the 42 participants assessed, 39 (92.9 per cent) completed two or more sessions. Participants were predominantly female (N=28, 71.8 per cent) and white (N=30, 76.9 per cent), with a mean age of 30.9. The principal outcome indicator was improvement and recovery on the PHQ-9 and Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale.ResultsOf the completer sample, 71.8 per cent of clients (N=28) showed reliable improvement and 43.6 per cent (N=17) showed reliable recovery. Effect sizes (Cohen’s d) from baseline to endpoint were 1.83 for the PHQ-9 and 1.16 for the GAD-7. On average, the clients found the PfD sessions helpful and valued the flexibility and collaborative approach of their therapists. Clients felt that change had been brought about by their own active engagement in therapy and through the therapists relational qualities, as well as their use of techniques.ConclusionsInitial indications suggest that pluralistic therapy for depression has acceptable outcomes, retention rates, and user satisfaction. Refinement and further testing of the approach is recommended.
‘Your whole life becomes a recovery’: Experiences of young adults following acquired brain injury
Authors: Seeto Erin , Scruby Kate , Greenhill Tina 
Published: January 2023

Background and aimsAn estimated 275 per 100,000 individuals (UK) sustain an acquired brain injury (ABI) requiring hospital admission. Survivors may suffer from; depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and an increased risk of suicide. Since 2015 UK admissions for head injuries have risen by 35.5 per cent with TBI considered the most common cause of disability and death in young adults aged 18–25yrs. The aim was to gain insight into the lived experience of young adults with an ABI and to consider the implications for counselling psychologists.MethodsData was collected from six participants (aged 18–30yrs) who had experienced an ABI. The focus group involved eight semi-structured questions broadly exploring the lived experience of ABI. The focus group outcomes subsequently informed in-depth individual interviews as part of an ongoing doctoral thesis.ResultsThree master themes emerged – negotiating relationships: post-traumatic growth; and experience of self in the world. Master themes comprised of eight sub-themes – relationship to self; relationship to help; creating a positive narrative; redefining goals and grabbing opportunities: seeking meaning; hidden disability; discrimination and stigma; and where do I fit?ConclusionsYoung adults with an ABI more frequently access general psychological services. To effectively work within this field, counselling psychologists should have an increased awareness of ABI and its consequences in planning services, policies and work practices.
From ‘disorder’ to ‘challenge’: Using lifespan development theories to reframe distress
Authors: Davies Adam 
Published: January 2023

Leonie Sugarman has previously made the case for counselling psychology to embrace lifespan theories as readily available frameworks that can incorporate the needs of clients in an open and flexible manner without resorting to the medical model. This article advocates again for the uptake of such theories but addresses the issue of their language as something which is fundamentally non -pathological. It is argued that lifespan approaches help in the normalisation of distress rather than view it as ‘abnormal’.One of the key concepts of the lifespan approach is ‘challenges’, something which can account for the ecological role of distress, signifying the importance of individual-environment interactions. They demonstrate that challenges are something to be expected and are ‘normal’ aspects of living. This way distress is not located ‘within’ individuals but in the ways which they relate to their environments.One such model that provides a non-pathological ‘language of challenge’ is ‘The Lifespan Model of Developmental Challenge’ (Hendry & Kloep, 2006, 2012). This framework is discussed in detail. It highlights that development is uniquely personal and can only be understood through use of a narrative account. Practioners ought to be aware of such models which can help bring phenomenology to the surface while at the same time normalising distressing feelings as part of the natural flow of life.
Application of the Frankish Model of Emotional Development in the therapeutic holding of people with dementia: A pilot study
Authors: Trubshaw Liz 
Published: January 2023

The adult we grow up to be is profoundly influenced by our early experience of good-enough environmental provision that enables us to psychically grow and to live until we die, despite the inevitable decay of the body, cognitive mind, and, in the case of dementia, the identity. Traditionally, management of people with dementia has been behaviourally and chemically based, with disturbed behaviours often explained in terms of the stage of the dementia rather than as an expression of meaning for the individual. This can result in a loss of real and meaningful human contact. This paper presents the application of the Frankish Model of Emotional Development (1989) to assess the emotional development level of patients with dementia and monitor any change over a 12-month period.Method:Fifteen older adult patients (mean age=74.67 years, SD=7.61) were included in the study. The Frankish Model was used to assess the level of emotional development every four months for a year. House Tree Person (HTP) tests were carried out at the beginning and end of the study. The researcher spent five minutes engaging with each patient two days each week in an attempt to therapeutically hold them.Results:Tentative support for the Frankish Model was demonstrated. The emotional level was at least stable for the patients. HTP drawings showed development between Time 1 and the end of the 12 months.Conclusion:Engaging and providing emotional holding of the patients with dementia potentially slowed down their deterioration and enabled them to be present for longer. Even in advanced dementia the ability to make relationships is retained, making therapeutic attachments possible. It is, therefore, important to teach staff how to provide the right environment that will facilitate the emotional security of people living with dementia.
‘Who Could Help me? There was Nothing. I Brought it on Myself’: A Qualitative Study Exploring UK University Student Experiences of Sexual Violence
Authors: Higson-Sweeney Nina , Meyrick Jane 
Published: January 2023

This article includes content about sexual violence, rape culture and narratives of victim blaming that some people may find upsetting or unsettling. We advise you to continue reading at your discretion.Research suggests that university students are disproportionately affected by sexual violence and that most incidents remain unreported. Little qualitative research has been conducted to explore this further in the context of the UK. The current study used qualitative semi-structured interviews to explore the lived experiences of 11 university students currently studying at UK institutions, with data analysed used reflexive thematic analysis. Three key themes were generated, which collectively narrate the decision-making progress students navigate after experiencing sexual violence: (1) Making sense of sexual violence; (2) Barriers to disclosure; and (3) Navigating support. Three key take-home messages are outlined.
Goal attainment scaling and coaching client core self-evaluations
Authors: Tee David , Shearer David , Roderique-Davies Gareth 
Published: January 2023

Objective: With a strengthening of the evidence base for coaching as an effective developmental intervention, greater understanding is needed regarding the factors that may contribute to this effectiveness. This study sought to determine the effect client ‘core self-evaluations’ (CSEs) may have on the attainment of contracted coaching goals. It alsoadopted a revised approach to Spence’s (2007) goal attainment scaling (GAS) procedure.Design: A quasi-experimental design was employed. 135 participants were recruited from undergraduate awards within a UK university. Seeking to improve on previous client trait research, a homogeneous, objectively measurable criterion variable (overall year end grade), was adopted.Method: Each of the four facets in the CSE construct were measured using established psychometric scales. Participants received training in core coaching skills and then took part in six peer coaching sessions, conducted at monthly intervals over a period of half a year.Results: A multiple regression analysis found a non-significant relationship between the four CSE facets and coaching goal attainment (R2 = 0.03%, F 4,130 = 1.04., p < .39).Implications: The amount of outcome variance attributable to participant CSE score was 66 per cent lower than that from a comparable study using self-report measures (Tee et al., 2017), suggesting that the use of objective measures of client goal progress has a marked effect. The rigorous GAS procedure used in this study allowed more consistency in comparing goalattainment across clients. Finally, these findings may imply that ‘core-self evaluations’ may not be the key set of client traits that predict coachability.Keywords:Coaching psychology; client factors; coachability; active ingredients; core self-evaluations; goal attainment scaling.
Help-seeking and masculinity in opposition: A quantitative study investigating the potential of coaching to increase men’s engagement in help-seeking
Authors: Kennedy Anna , Moorhead Anne 
Published: January 2023

IntroductionMen’s help-seeking behaviours have been highlighted as a major issue in men’s mental health (Robertson & Baker, 2017) with widespread research indicating that aspects of masculine identity hinder men from seeking help with mental health and wellbeing issues (e.g. Berger et al., 2013). Although coaching is not a therapeutic intervention, the approach is aimed at facilitating positive change. As the language around coaching is more closely aligned to masculine identity it is suggested that there is potential to engage more men in seeking help.AimTo investigate the potential of coaching for formal help-seeking among men.MethodsAn online quantitative survey was conducted among 118 men (18+ years), who rated the likelihood of engagement in specified forms of help-seeking in three case studies. The vignette version of the General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ-V) was utilised. Data were analysed using SPSS Version 25.Results:Self-help/online, such as books and online resources, was found to be the most likely form of formal help men in this study would seek (M=3.94, SD=1.90). However, coaching was reported as the most likely face-to-face formal source of help (M=3.73, SD=1.39), with a paired sample t-test indicating significantly greater likelihood of attending coaching than the other formal forms of help investigated (p=0.000). Attending coaching was reported as significantly more likely than attending counselling/psychotherapy in all case studies.ImplicationsThis study found that coaching is more appealing to men than traditional forms of help-seeking, thus indicating the potential of coaching for formal help-seeking among men. Coaching, in conjunction with its online capabilities, may have additional potential to engage more men in help-seeking, thereby positively impacting on men’s mental health.
Nerve Growth Factor and its association to osteoarthritis in the horse
Authors: Kendall Anna 
Published: January 2023

Osteoarthritis is common in horses and is a cause of pain and compromised welfare. Osteoarthritis-associated pain in horses is currently diagnosed by subjective and objective measurements of joint pain; however, there is a need to develop methods for evaluation of the systemic osteoarthritic pain that has been recognised in other species. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is associated with pain and osteoarthritis in humans, dogs, cats and lab animals but little is known about NGF in the horse. The aim of this thesis was to determine the presence of NGF in the equine joint and circulation, and to investigate its connection to osteoarthritis-associated lameness. Serum and synovial fluid from lame horses with osteoarthritis were analysed by ELISA, and NGF levels were compared to those in sound horses. Cartilage and synovial membranes from osteoarthritic and healthy joints were analysed by immunohistochemistry for NGF and for the NGF receptors (TrkA and p75NTR). Chondrocyte lysates obtained from healthy and osteoarthritic cartilage were analysed by western blot and capillary simple western. On a group level, serum NGF was higher in horses with osteoarthritis-associated lameness than in sound horses. Joints with acute or chronic inflammation had higher mean synovial fluid NGF than healthy joints and the expression of NGF and NGF receptors was increased in osteoarthritic articular cartilage compared to healthy articular cartilage. NGF receptor expression in osteoarthritic synovial membranes was also increased with marked individual variation in the relative TrkA/p75NTR expression. Two NGF precursor forms, 40 and 45 kDa, could be identified in equine articular chondrocytes and these forms did not appear to change with inflammation. The results show that NGF is associated with osteoarthritis in the horse, in line with the findings in other species. The correlation between NGF and pain, individual variations in NGF receptor expression and the role of different precursor forms of NGF warrants further investigation.
Makingprint: A Performative Art of Touch
Authors: Butler Jacqueline 
Published: January 2023

This paper proposes that by introducing digital discourse into printmaking, through disruptive behaviour one can expand the potential of print. Reflecting on the sensual qualities of the surface of print by:
•exploring the unification of the body with technology
•contemplating the power of medium materiality through technological collision and hybrid practice.
This paper investigates what a photograph can be in hybrid form, querying the thingness of the medium through technological convergence. Contributing to an examination of the dimensional qualities of print giving rise in the viewer a desire to touch the artefact.
Informed by the earliest forms of photographic print (the photogram cameraless process), through key texts by Virginia Heckert and Geoffrey Batchen, the paper will examine the works of Marco Breuer and Letha Wilson and will draw from my own experiences as an artist and researcher.
My research (as an artist and writer) has centred on an exploration of contemporary technologies that question how evolving digital technology can complement and extend the production possibilities of more traditional print media such as photography and printmaking. This links directly to my interest in how expanding medium materiality can inform new methods of arts practice.
De Palacio de la Exposición a Museo Nacional de Historia Natural: Estudio iconográfico de un monumento histórico (1875-1980)
Authors: Acevedo C. Nieves , Azócar M. Miguel Ángel 
Published: January 2023

El actual edificio que ocupa el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile corresponde a una construcción que originalmente fue creada en 1875 en Santiago de Chile para albergar la primera Exposición Internacional de Agricultura y la Industria.
Este edificio adquirió gran relevancia en aquella época y su imagen se transformó en una suerte de ícono que se reflejó en el acuñamiento de medallas, monedas y billetes. Posteriormente, la imagen del edificio ha seguido siendo representada en estampillas de correo, cuadros y postales turísticas.
Concluída la Feria, y dada la notoriedad alcanzada por el edificio, el Supremo Gobierno consideró la conveniencia de hacerlo sede definitiva del Museo Nacional, actualmente Museo Nacional de Historia Natural. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la iconografía asociada a este inmueble.
