Asian international psychotherapist's experiences of client's microaggression in therapy.

Much of the multicultural counseling literature focuses on how White or U.S.-born therapists can work effectively with clients of color.

State population indices predict Asian American and Pacific Islander successful substance use treatment completion: An exploratory observational study.

Cultural capital is a known factor supporting success in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. We investigated Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) State population metrics in relation to SUD treatment completion for US clients from 2006-2017 ( = 5,404,374). Metrics that may signify greater available cultural capital were State AAPI Percentage, State AAPI Percent Change, and State AAPI Population.

Does the group in group psychotherapy matter? A meta-analysis of the intraclass correlation coefficient in group treatment research.

Objective: Over the last 3 decades, group treatment researchers have become increasingly knowledgeable of the impact of within-group dependency on analyses of group treatment data and of mutual influence processes that occur within therapy groups. Despite these advancements, there remains a lack of consensus on the magnitude of mutual influence, or group effects, in group treatment research. As such, this study sought to estimate the size of group effects on members' posttreatment outcomes by meta-analyzing the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) in group treatment research.

Is there an optimal level of positive and negative feedback in group therapy? A response surface analysis.

Interpersonal feedback is an important process in group therapy. Feedback can be both positive and negative, and group researchers have noted the importance of both positive and negative feedback in fostering cohesive groups and evoking behavioral change (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). However, there is a paucity of research examining the amount and valence (i.

Racial trauma, microaggressions, and becoming racially innocuous: The role of acculturation and White supremacist ideology.

Acculturation theories often describe how individuals in the United States adopt and incorporate dominant cultural values, beliefs, and behaviors such as individualism and self-reliance. Theorists tend to perceive dominant cultural values as "accessible to everyone," even though some dominant cultural values, such as preserving White racial status, are reserved for White people. In this article, the authors posit that White supremacist ideology is suffused within dominant cultural values, connecting the array of cultural values into a coherent whole and bearing with it an explicit status for White people and people of color.

Admitted to treatment without diagnosis: The status of known diagnoses in US addictions treatment centres.

Background: Diagnostic and treatment gaps exist for those with substance use disorders (SUD). SUD diagnostics in treatment have been critically under-investigated. We investigated known diagnoses in US addiction treatment centres receiving state or federal funding.

Asian American and Pacific Islander substance use treatment completion.

Mental health professionals and administrators work to improve substance use treatment for racially and ethnically diverse populations. However, a national comparison study of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and non-AAPIs substance use outpatient treatment completion has received little attention. The present study examined treatment completion by comparing AAPI clients to White and Latinx clients, and identified demographic and treatment-related moderating factors associated with treatment completion using discharge data from the Treatment Episode Data Sets-Discharge (TEDS-D).
