TL;DR: The authors treated human thinking as an instance of story elaboration, which offers numerous implications for many domains of psychological theory, research, and practice, such as psychotherapy, psychotherapy as exercises in story repair, and identity as an issue of life-story construction.
Abstract: Narrative (or storytelling) approaches to understanding human action have recently become more popular in several areas of psychology. Treating human thinking as instances of story elaboration offers numerous implications for many domains of psychological theory, research, and practice. For example, several instances of cultural diversity take on a different hue when viewed from a narrative perspective. Finally, several authors (e.g., Bruner, 1986; Howard, 1989; Mair, 1989; McAdams, 1985; Polkinghorne, 1988; Sarbin, 1986) see the development of identity as an issue of life-story construction; psychopathology as instances of life stories gone awry; and psychotherapy as exercises in story repair.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on attrition is offered, highlighting the methodological challenges in effectively addressing the complex nature of this problem.
Abstract: Despite more than 50 years of research on client attrition from therapy, obstacles to the delivery and success of treatments remain poorly understood, and effective methods to engage and retain clients in therapy are lacking. This article offers a review of the literature on attrition, highlighting the methodological challenges in effectively addressing the complex nature of this problem. Current interventions for reducing attrition are reviewed, and recommendations for implementing these interventions into psychotherapy practice are discussed.

...In contrast, the type of provider (eg, lay counselor, clergy, social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist) has rarely been examined, and no consistent relationship to dropout has been found (Beutler, Machado, & Neufeldt, 1994; Edlund et al,, 2002)....

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a 14-item scale for assessing competence in cognitive therapy (CTS), which is based on Kolb's well-known educational model and is used as a guideline.
Abstract: The existing scale for assessing competence in cognitive therapy (CTS) dates from 1988 and only the previous version of 1980 has been validated to any extent. A revised version, the CTS-R, was devised to improve on the CTS by: eliminating overlap between items, improving on the scaling system, and defining items more clearly. Kolb's well-known educational model was used as a guideline. In the new 14-item scale, three new items measure general therapeutic flair, the facilitation of emotional expression, and therapist's non-verbal behaviours (optional). We hypothesized that the CTS-R would prove more user friendly and demonstrate satisfactory reliability and validity. Twenty-one mental health professionals undergoing training in cognitive therapy provided 102 video-tapes of therapy with 34 patients, reflecting three stages of therapy. The tapes were rated by four expert raters, in a balanced design. The CTS-R showed high internal consistency and adequate average inter-rater reliability. Reliability for individual items varied widely among pairs of raters. Validity was demonstrated by improved ratings of competence for trainees who saw patients early and later during the course of training. Although raters found the CTS-R a more useful tool than the CTS and satisfactory reliability and validity were demonstrated, more refinement is needed in item definition. The study has led to modifications in the CTS-R, which are in the process of evaluation.

TL;DR: The Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory (CCCI) as discussed by the authors is a measure based on the American Psychological Association Division 17 Educa- tion and Training Committee's tridimensional characteristics of cross-cultural counseling competence.
Abstract: This article presents the development and preliminary validation of the Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory (CCCI), a measure based on the American Psychological Association Division 17 Educa-) tion and Training Committee's tridimensional characteristics of cross-cultural counseling competence—beliefs/attitudes, knowledge, and skills (Sue et al, 1982). Three studies investigated the instrument's content validity, interrater reliability, and factor structure. The first study established substantial agreement among judges when classifying items according to the tridimensional characteristics. In the second study, judges reached adequate levels of interrater reliability after viewing cross-cultural counseling vignettes. The third study found a 3-factor orthogonal solution of crosscultural counseling skill, sociopolitical awareness, and cultural sensitivity. The authors discuss the utility of the instrument in counseling supervision and research.
