Identifying optimal co-location calibration periods for low-cost sensors
Authors: Levy Zamora Misti , Buehler Colby , Datta Abhirup , Gentner Drew R. , Koehler Kirsten 
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Low-cost sensors are often co-located with reference instruments to assess their performance and establish calibration equations, but limited
discussion has focused on whether the duration of this calibration period can be optimized. We placed a multipollutant monitor that contained
sensors that measured particulate matter smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen
dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and nitric oxide (NO) at a reference field site for 1 year. We developed calibration equations
using randomly selected co-location subsets spanning 1 to 180 consecutive days out of the 1-year period and compared the potential root-mean-square error (RMSE) and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) values. The co-located calibration period required to obtain consistent results varied by
sensor type, and several factors increased the co-location duration required for accurate calibration, including the response of a sensor to
environmental factors, such as temperature or relative humidity (RH), or cross-sensitivities to other pollutants. Using measurements from
Baltimore, MD, where a broad range of environmental conditions may be observed over a given year, we found diminishing improvements in the median
RMSE for calibration periods longer than about 6 weeks for all the sensors. The best performing calibration periods were the ones that contained a
range of environmental conditions similar to those encountered during the evaluation period (i.e., all other days of the year not used in the
calibration). With optimal, varying conditions it was possible to obtain an accurate calibration in as little as 1 week for all sensors, suggesting
that co-location can be minimized if the period is strategically selected and monitored so that the calibration period is representative of the
desired measurement setting.

Key digested messageThis series follows two earlier sequences on the measurement of individual psychological differences. These were entitled ‘Heroes, landmarks and blind alleys in personality assessment’ which appeared inADMbetween Summer 2014 and Autumn 2016 and ‘Pioneers and landmarks in intelligence testing’ launched in Spring 2017 and ending in Winter 2019.This series will be tracking the many developments in our understanding of implicit and explicit motivation, and the implications for assessment and development in the workplace.
Beware the hot and cold manager: How inconsistency can hurt employees and what can be done to overcome this
Authors: Thomas Katie 
Published: January 2023

Key digested messageThis study investigates the relationship between inconsistent management relationships and employee wellbeing. Inconsistency is essentially a working relationship in which a manager blows ‘hot and cold’ with their reports. Above and beyond the quality of working relationships, a lack of consistency in managers’ relations with their employees was found to be detrimental to wellbeing.The study is the first to investigate the relationship between inconsistent leadership relationships and employee wellbeing. It was found that the greater the degree of inconsistency, the poorer an individual’s wellbeing. This effect was worsened when employees ruminated on negative experience but was somewhat mitigated when they took a problem-focused approach to work demands, lessening their reliance on their manager.
Exploring non-linear relationships between Emotional Intelligence and the Dark Triad
Authors: Maddocks Jo , Noble Steph , Hughes Dan 
Published: January 2023

Key digested messageA recent meta-analysis found a negative relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the dark triad. In the present paper it is proposed that measuring EI as a linear construct (more is always better) does not take into account the dynamic variability in some facets of EI that are better measured as non-linear constructs.
The delivery of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for clients with transdiagnostic or comorbid problems in a routine military mental healthcare outpatient setting
Authors: Bowen Ceri 
Published: January 2023

MBCT is a cognitive treatment approach with proven efficacy for low mood and depression (Segal et al., 2012), recognised in the UK by NHS England (National Institute for Health & Care Excellence, 2009) for those with recurrent depression and/or other chronic problems.A feasibility trial of adapted-MBCT was offered to five cohorts of military patients (N=48), with transdiagnostic problems, to explore the possible benefits for this group. The findings were encouraging and demonstrated that MBCT is useful both early in the care pathway for stabilisation and later for relapse prevention, and to assist safe transition back into military duty or into civilian life.
Bullying in Schools: The Role of Counselling
Authors: Lane David A 
Published: January 2023

A recent television programme featured the story of a child who died in an accident as a consequence of bullying. This was a UK child, but it could have been a child anywhere: several such tragic examples have appeared in the UK and International Press (Roland and Munthe, 1989). Accidental death or suicide is one outcome of bullying, although thankfully a rare one, but it is just the tip of a vast iceberg of misery experienced by millions of children every day.Yet it has remained a hidden problem. It, like all children’s issues, only emerges on to the public arena following a dramatic case or a scandal.
Coming Out: “Happy to be Humanistic!”
Authors: Crouch Anthony 
Published: January 2023

As counselling moves towards becoming the dominant paradigm for psychology, certain deeply held assumptions of orthodox psychology can begin to be questioned. On a more personal level I feel I can finally “come out” - I’m “Happy to be humanistic!” (and I’m also respectful of the psycho-dynamic). In this article I want to question some of the deeply held assumptions of orthodoxy.Is the traditional scientific frame of mind appropriate within the growing counselling psychology paradigm?
A Review of The Cognitive-Behavioural Literature on Treatment Approaches to Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa
Authors: Cropper Vanessa 
Published: January 2023

This paper is a review of the cognitive-behavioural literature on treatment approaches to clients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa.Initially, there is a description of the general definitions of the disorders which should provide a context for the whole paper. It draws upon the consensus of views of practitioners in the field and answers the question: what is anorexia and bulimia nervosa? This is important because it has been found that, whilst anorexia and bulimia are considered relatively rare conditions (Agras 1987), more than a fifth of a general population sample of adult women reported that they had an eating problem (Cooper et al., 1984).
Theoretical Paper - Collaboration in cognitive behavioural therapy: In the shadow or in the light of power dynamics?
Authors: Edwards Will 
Published: January 2023

BackgroundThis paper explores whether collaboration in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is appropriately considered in the ‘shadow’ of the power dynamics of the client-therapist relationship, or is more appropriately considered in the ‘light’ of such dynamics. It builds on extant research, opinion and the author’s professional experience and in exploring the topic, distinction is made between modernist and postmodernist views of power.Content & FocusThe paper draws upon Beck’s model, particularly using ‘collaborative empiricism’ to illustrate the associations between collaboration and power dynamics. Three types of power in therapeutic collaboration are considered: role power, inherent in the roles of ‘therapist’ and ‘client’; societal power, power distribution in society concerning the structural positions in society of therapist and client; and historical power, the client’s and therapist’s personal experience of power and powerlessness.ConclusionThe paper concludes that all three of these types of power can have a tendency to push the therapist into a position of authority. It is, therefore, important that self-awareness is developed, particularly through therapists’ own personal therapy and clinical supervision to avoid falling into an ‘expert trap’ and misusing the societally-endorsed power of science. It is encouraging that power in the therapeutic relationship is becoming more widely discussed and accepted and there is a growing awareness of the need to take it into account from a postmodern perspective.

Theoretical Paper - Is homelessness a matter of social justice for counselling psychologists in the UK? A review of the literature
Authors: Hore Beth 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusThere is a discourse within psychology relating to homelessness that describes a significant minority of individuals in Britain who are less likely to experience physical, mental and emotional wellbeing than the housed majority. Homelessness is, therefore, contextualised here as both a relevant topic for counselling psychology and as a matter of social justice. The place of social justice within the counselling psychology discourse is discussed and the situation in the US is contrasted with that in the UK. Psychology, counselling and nursing literature relating to homelessness is critiqued to discover how useful it is for counselling psychologists, whether homelessness is being considered by counselling psychologists in the UK and whether it reflects the principles of social justice work for counselling psychologists proposed by Goodman et al. (2004).ConclusionExisting literature relating to homelessness is of use to counselling psychologists in that it can be used to inform practice, understand the context of homelessness, and challenge the pathologisation of the homeless population. Of the literature considered, some of the North American papers explicitly show an interest in social justice unlike the British literature. It is difficult to ascertain the extent to which British counselling psychologists are working with homeless clients. Further research could consider: how many counselling psychologists in the UK are working with homeless clients; how counselling psychologists in the UK conceive of the relationship between the profession and society; and whether/how the conception of that relationship influences their work.
Theoretical Paper - Social justice and counselling psychology training: Can we learn from the US?
Authors: Rupani Pooja 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusThe aim of this theoretical paper is to bring to the fore current discussions and issues regarding social justice in counselling psychology practice and training. Although counselling psychologists are required by law to engage in anti-discriminatory practice, this seldom changes the reality of marginalised and oppressed client groups outside the therapy room – they continue to face oppression and discrimination in their daily lives. The paper discusses relevant literature on social justice and social advocacy in counselling psychology with a special focus on counselling psychology training in the US geared towards incorporating social advocacy, including the scientist-practitioner-advocate model.ConclusionsThe paper highlights that the debate on social justice and social advocacy, whilst considerably advanced in the US, has not spread with equal fervour across the Atlantic to the UK. It proposes that if counselling psychologists in the UK are to be committed to working with diverse populations, and to anti-discriminatory practice, then this discussion is a crucial one to be engaged with, starting as early as during doctoral training.
Theoretical Paper - Quotas are not enough to eradicate 'masculine' boardrooms: The role of counselling psychology in extending the debate
Authors: Gould Georgina , Brown Dora 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusThe purpose of this paper is to spark debate on whether quotas can break the homogeneity of boardrooms without including a positive agenda for cultural change: change that will allow reformation of what it means to be a leader, to enable the inclusion of competent individuals that fall outside of the leadership archetype. Specifically, the following areas are looked at: the construction of ‘women’; the masculinity of leadership; the perceived incongruence between women and leaders; and the role that counselling psychology can play in enabling change.ConclusionDue to historically and culturally embedded ‘norms’ of what it means to be a leader, most women, and non-agentic men, do not ‘fit’ criteria considered pertinent to leadership and are, therefore, excluded from powerful positions or faced with pressure to adapt. Whilst leadership may be more accessible to women than in the past, power, or powerful positions, could remain homogeneous. We, as counselling psychologists, are well-equipped to critically engage with this subject by creating a discourse that moves beyond the therapeutic space to a wider political dimension that facilitates macro-level change.
Editorial: On becoming an urban spaceman: Considering ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ research strategies in counselling psychology
Authors: Hanley Terry 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusResearch publications often adopt two major forms. Firstly the generic edition, which publishes all work that has met a certain threshold of quality. The second type of offering is the special edition, a collection of papers held together with a common theme running through it. Such strategies can be viewed as ‘rural’ or ‘urban’ in nature, with the latter reflecting the more collectivised commonalities and the former reflecting the every person stands for her/himself strategy. This editorial extends this urban/rural analogy to consider how such a strategy fits in relation to counselling psychology training in the UK. In particular it raises a number of strengths and weaknesses in both approaches and proposes that a more urban research strategy would enhance the profession of counselling psychology and strengthen its voice within the world of applied psychology. Following on from the predominant thrust of this editorial, the papers within this particular edition of Counselling Psychology Review are introduced in turn (and, as you will see, the edition is more rural in nature).
Theoretical Paper: Evaluation of Quality of Working Life as an outcome for work-based counselling and psychological therapy
Authors: Easton Simon , Van Laar Darren 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusWhilst counselling psychologists providing services to individuals referred through employer funded employee assistance schemes and similar can routinely use established assessments of mood, or behaviours indicative of psychological distress, it may also be useful and relevant to evaluate effects on the individual’s experience of and at work. It may be the case that a broader range of outcomes should appropriately be evaluated to allow assessment at both an individual case level and at a broader service evaluation level in the work setting. This paper proposes that pre- and post-assessment of key aspects of an individual’s Quality of Working Life (QoWL) can make a valuable contribution to the evaluation of workbased counselling and psychological therapy. Further we argue that such an evaluation can assist in the process of formulation, and thereby the effective targeting of interventions. This article briefly reviews the concept of QoWL, and goes on to discuss the relevance of this concept in the work-based counselling and psychological therapy setting. Finally, a freely available measure of QoWL, the Work Related Quality of Life Scale, is reviewed by way of illustration.
Psychopathology and the conceptualisation of mental disorder: The debate around the inclusion of Parental Alienation in DSM-5
Authors: Whitcombe Sue 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusThis paper will briefly consider the general conceptualisation of mental disorder before focusing on the specific case of Parental Alienation (PA), variously termed a disorder or a syndrome. By virtue of the recent debate surrounding its potential inclusion in the newest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), this is a topical example. A critical analysis of the petition for its inclusion within DSM-5 will both highlight the range of professionals’ views, and also consider ethical and practical issues inherent in the conceptualisation of a mental disorder and its classification within the evolving DSM. Following this general and specific conceptualisation of mental disorder, the tensions that diagnosis raises for counselling psychology will be briefly deliberated. The positive aspects of classification and diagnosis will be acknowledged, whilst highlighting the focus on the subjective experience of individual clients.ConclusionsDespite the controversy about the concept, validity and reliability of PA, the evidence suggests that there is more agreement than disagreement among practitioners and professionals in the field. Whilst there is a general consensus that alienation exists within a distinct population who would benefit from intervention, there is no consensus on its inclusion in DSM-5. Irrespective of its inclusion in any nosology, the recent debate has highlighted the need for further research. A greater understanding of the processes, symptoms and behaviours involved in PA will enable the needs of children and families involved in high-conflict separation to be better addressed.
Dialogues and Debates:Counselling psychology in the UK: A 30-year passage
Authors: James Pamela E. 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusCounselling psychology’s 30-year passage in the UK, its origins and philosophy, open a reflective article that also considers training, research and practice. Academic and reflective practitioner’s roles grounded in human science often work in contexts where natural science predominates. The effects of the influence of recent economic and political changes are considered; this discipline’s responses to these effects are outlined. This article is a summary of an invited address given in Melbourne, Australia, in February, 2013.ConclusionsThe sharing of the philosophy, practice, research and training of counselling psychologists across countries in an increasingly aware international climate will have advantages for the discipline; however, the fuller benefits remain to be explored.
Dialogues and Debates: Where will counselling psychology be in the next 30 years? From a Conference to the Premiership
Authors: Fairfax Hamilton 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusAcknowledging the recent 30th anniversary for counselling psychology, this article considers how the profession could develop in future. In particular it suggests how counselling psychology could influence mental health provision in the new commissioning environment and calls for an active and positive engagement based on our core values. This requires the Division and counselling psychologists themselves to be more assertive and self promoting, building on the successes of the past to help determine and influence the future. Three main strategies are suggested: counselling psychology as the champions of practicebased evidence; promoting phenomenological-based intervention; and identifying counselling psychology as the most suitable provider for co-morbid and secondary care (Step 4) clients.ConclusionThe growth and achievements of the profession over the last three decades underlies the sentiment that counselling psychology has more than come of age. In contrast, however, its presence in the consciousness of commissioners and the general public is unreliable. Developments in mental health strategies such as the Recovery Model and the uncertainty of service provision at post-IAPT or secondary care, create a climate for counselling psychology to offer solutions. Far from being mainly a competing narrative within the rarefied communities of psychology and the wider psychotherapeutic professions, counselling psychology has the muscle to make decisive contributions at a national policy making level. This can only happen if there is a sense of united purpose and concerted effort at the structural and individual level. The suggestions made in this article are only some of many other ways this could occur, but it is important to recognise that asserting the profession’s value is not egotistical and without a programme of self-promotion counselling psychology risks marginalisation.
Research Paper Psychological treatments for eating disorders: What is the importance of the quality of the therapeutic alliance for outcomes?
Authors: Antoniou Pavlina , Cooper Mick 
Published: January 2023

BackgroundResearch data suggests that eating disorders symptomatology is determined by the individual’s unique combination of biological and psychological factors, in relation to their familial and social backgrounds (Brumberg, 2000). This means that different clients may benefit from different psychological interventions (Lock et al., 2010).PurposeThis systematic review investigates the significance of the quality of the therapeutic alliance for the effectiveness of psychological treatments with eating disorders.MethodA review of electronic databases was conducted against pre-determined exclusion and inclusion criteria, with applicable studies been abstracted using the PRISMA four-phase flow diagram (Moher et al., 2009). Nine quantitative and two qualitative studies which were published prior to June 2012 were included, and their data are critically considered and analysed.FindingsThe quality of the therapeutic alliance is significantly associated with the success of treatment outcome for anorexia nervosa, although its importance remains unclear for bulimic individuals.DiscussionPossible reasons behind the ambiguity of the results are discussed, and alternative contributors to successful treatment outcomes are incorporated.ConclusionNotwithstanding the fact that this systematic review encountered a number of limitations, the findings could inform practice as well as form the basis for additional research in the field of eating disorders.
