Self-Stigma, Mental Health Literacy, and Health Outcomes in

Title:
Self-Stigma, Mental Health Literacy, and Health Outcomes in Integrated Care
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Allison Crowe, PhD; Patrick R. Mullen, PhD; and Kerry Littlewood, PhD
Description:
The authors describe research on the self-stigma of mental illness and help seeking, mental health literacy, and health outcomes in an integrated care medical center. Results revealed that self-stigma of mental illness and self-stigma of seeking help had an inverse relationship with mental health literacy. No statistically significant relationships were found between health outcomes, either type of self-stigma, and mental health literacy. The authors discuss these and other findings and offer research and counseling implications.
Learning Objectives:
1.Explore the role of health literacy on health outcomes
2.Review the relationship between mental health literacy, self-stigma and health outcomes in an integrated care medical center

The Helping Relationship

Title:
The Helping Relationship: From Core Dimensions to Brief and Integrative Possibilities, sixth edition
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
David Capuzzi, PhD; Mark D. Stauffer, PhD; and Douglas R. Gross, PhD
Description:
This chapter has three purposes. First, it aids the reader in understanding the various factors that affect the helping relationship: definitions and descriptions, stages, core dimensions, strategies, and issues of diversity. Second, because we have asked each of our theory authors to discuss brief approaches as applied to the theory under consideration, we provide our readers with an overview of selected brief approaches, because these approaches, plus the impact of managed care, have precipitated an emphasis on using traditional theories in shorter term counseling. Third, because we know that, after reading this book, readers will have questions about whether to be a purist, in the literal sense of the term, and base all of their work with clients on a single theoretical set or somehow integrate the possibilities for working with clients into a more flexible way of helping, we also provide an overview of integrative counseling. We hope that the information presented in this chapter will not only help readers to understand the dynamics of the helping relationship and their application in both theory-specific and brief approaches but also aid them in incorporating these dynamics into an integrative theoretical approach.
Learning Objectives:
1.Examine core dimensions, strategies, and issues of diversity that impact the helping relationship
2.Explore selected brief approaches to counseling
3.Understand the process of integrative counseling and how counselors can ethically move towards utilizing integrative approaches in clinical practice

What Do We Know, or Think We Know

Title:
What Do We Know, or Think We Know, About How Counseling Works? And What Counselors Believe Matters Most - And Why Their Clients Disagree
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Jeffrey A. Kottler, PhD and Richard S. Balkin, PhD
Description:
Let’s acknowledge at the outset that there are decades of empirical research, not to mention practitioner anecdotes, to support the power, influence, and efficacy of counseling. This is True across a number of theoretical orientations, clinician styles, contexts, clinical specialties, diagnostic issues, and client problems. However, in spite of the confidence we might feel in the power of our profession to improve the quality of people’s lives, as well as to address their most challenging difficulties, we are by no means all in agreement as to why it works.In this initial overview of what we know, or at least what we believe may be the case, we review some of the consensual assumptions and common precepts about what most consistently produces the most satisfying outcomes—for both clients and their counselors.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand operating assumptions and precepts about relationships in counseling
2.Examine major determining factors for successful counseling outcomes
