Cultural Opportunities in Psychotherapy: An Analogue Study of Therapist Perspectives on Religion in Muslim Clients
No full textAlthough considerable efforts have been made to promote multicultural competencies for mental health clinicians, religion/spirituality is still considered a “neglected dimension” of multicultural diversity within the field of counseling (Hage et al., 2006). This may adversely impact religious minorities who express reluctance seeking mental health treatment, underutilize services, and terminate prematurely from therapy. Data was collected from 210 therapists and therapists in training who were randomly assigned to view analogue videoclips in which a therapist either explores religious/spiritual themes or misses cultural opportunities to discuss religion/spirituality in a simulated session with a Muslim client. Results illustrated that when the therapist successfully noticed and responded to cultural opportunities related to the client’s religious/spiritual identity, the therapist was perceived to be more culturally humble and more culturally comfortable. The therapist and client were also perceived to have a stronger working alliance, and the quality of the session was evaluated more favorably by the participant-observers. Recommendations for clinical practice, training, and future research are also discussed
Investigating Islamophobia: Identifying Risk and Protective Factors in the Muslim American Community
No full textMuslim Americans have experienced considerable anti-Muslim discrimination as a result of ongoing exposure to Islamophobic rhetoric and hate crimes (Khan & Ecklund, 2012; Kunst et al., 2012). Like other forms of oppression, Islamophobia operates at an interpersonal and institutional level (Helms, 2016). This study explored societal and interpersonal anti-Muslim discrimination experienced by 188 Muslim adults in the United States. Vigilance, community connectedness, and social support were investigated as potential moderators in the relationship between societal and interpersonal anti-Muslim discrimination and psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress). Results suggested that vigilance exacerbated the relationship between societal anti-Muslim discrimination and anxiety. Social support initially buffered the effects of interpersonal anti-Muslim discrimination and depression; however, this finding was not substantiated when controlling for the influence of COVID-19 related stressors. There was no evidence to suggest the moderating effects of community connectedness. Clinical implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed

Application of Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP) and Its clinical outcome on psychological distress among American Muslims in outpatient therapy
No full text[ArticleInPress]Although individuals frequently turn to religion and spirituality in times of crises and other mental health concerns (Vieten & Lukoff, 2022; Yamada et al., 2020), limited research explores its utility when purposefully integrated into mental health treatment, especially in Muslim populations. While there is evidence for the clinical efficacy of Islamic adaptations of cognitive and rational therapies for Muslim patients, there are very few clinical outcome studies on inherently Islamic models of psychotherapy (Hook et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2007; Worthington & Sandage, 2001). The present study explored the clinical efficacy of an Islamic model of psychotherapy, known as Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP; Keshavarzi et al., 2020) through a practice-based evidence approach. Five clinicians, trained in the TIIP model, offered services to 107 patients for 420 sessions at an outpatient mental health center tailored to address Muslim mental health concerns. The therapist session checklist indicated that TIIP practitioners not only utilized Islamic spiritual interventions but also integrated cognitive and emotion-focused interventions into the TIIP model of care. The outcomes of the study demonstrated a reduction in clinical distress as measured by Clinically Adaptive Multidimensional Outcome Survey and a reduction in functional distress through clinical outcomes in routine evaluation over time, indicating preliminary evidence for the efficacy of TIIP in application to Muslim patients. Process variables such as session intentions, counseling topics, as well as specific interventions from the TIIP model are presented
Enhancing Undergraduate Students’ Responses to Bereaved Peers: An Innovative Online Intervention
No full textThe purpose of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of CARES, an
online intervention developed to educate undergraduate students about how to communicate with friends who experienced the death of someone close to them. College students (N=231) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) the CARES intervention, (2) a website containing information about grief and loss, or (3) a control condition. Results indicated that students who participated in the CARES intervention had the greatest knowledge regarding grief and appropriate communication with grieving peers when compared to participants in the website and control conditions. In addition, students receiving the intervention were more confident in their ability to help a grieving peer and had the greatest skill in communicating with a grieving peer. Thus, the CARES intervention has potential for educating undergraduates about effective communication with their grieving peers.Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research, UMD Honors College, UMD Do Good Institut

Britishness, Identity and Belonging in Education:Social Justice in Troubling Times
No full textThis book seeks to address the ways in which changing discourses of Britishness and British Values both impact upon young people in their education and are expressed by them growing up in multicultural Britain, a nation battling the consequences of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. The author considers the intersectional relationship between identity, citizenship and belonging, as well as the ways that politicisation of culture and faith affect young people’s sense of Britishness and belonging, particularly through policies such as the Prevent duty. It will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of race and education, social justice and diversity, equity and inclusion.</p
Écrire ‹ l’oral › dans Texaco de Patrick Chamoiseau
No full textAbstractIn this analysis, I investigate the coexistence of the oral and writing in Texaco of Patrick Chamoiseau. I try first to explain how Chamoiseau arrived to a certain synthesis between the two registers. Then I examine the objective of the author to develop such a synthesis between oral and writing in the universe of a text. In the case of Texaco, it is not only a matter of two ways of expression but also of two languages and two states of civilization. This expressive and linguistic lining does not depend only on the exile of many intellectuals and some other historical factors, but on a certain cultural alienation. Indeed, the Martinican identity oscillates between two spaces and hesitates between two languages. By this coexistence of the creole oral mode and the French writing, Chamoiseau tried to create a new style in the world of literary texts. On the other hand, this meeting of the different languages and registers creates a certain composition of elements that do not stand in a relation of opposition to each other, but of a tangle in order to communicate a world vision and to assert the original identity.</jats:p
الاستقبال الصحفي لخطاب ليلى بعلبكي الأدبي / Journalistic Reception of Layla Baʻalbakki\u27s Literary Discourse
No full text[This article explores the relationship between the literary field and journalistic reception that is governed by specific ideological trends. The complexity of this relationship turns the text into a social document liable to condemnation or praise. To illustrate this relationship, the article rereads the confiscation of the 1964 short story collection Safinat Hanan ila al-qamar (A Spaceship of Tenderness to the Moon) and its author Layla Baʻalbakki\u27s trial instigated by a brief condemnatory comment in the Egyptian magazine Sabah al-khayr. The article offers a discourse analysis of subsequent reviews with a focus on gender and the ramifications on the cultural milieu to reveal the play of power relations. تسعى هذه المقالة إلى سبر أغوار العلاقة بين النص الأدبي والاستقبال الصحفي المتأثر بسيادة تيارات إيديولوجية بعينها بما يشكل مركزاً يؤثر في كافة المجالات ، كما أنه يُخرج النص من مجاله الجمالي ويُحوله إلى وثيقة اجتماعية تستدعي الإدانة أو الإشادة . ولتحليل هذه العلاقة الشائكة وتبعاتها ، تقوم المقالة بإعادة قراءة وقائع محاكمة المجموعة القصصية سفينة حنان إلى القمر (١٩٦٤) للكاتبة اللبنانية ليلى ﺑﻌﻠﺒﻜﻲ ، وذلك بناء على إدانة صحفية ﻣﺑﺘﺴﺮﺓ صدرت في مجلة صباح الخير المصرية . تهدف المقالة إلى تحليل الخطاب الذي بُنيت عليه المراجعات المناهضة أو المؤيدة ، في الصحافة العربية والأجنبية ، مع النظر إلى الرؤية المتعلقة بالكتابة النسوية التي يطرحها هذا الخطاب ، وتأثير ذلك في ﺍﻟﻤﺠﺎﻝ الأدبي .
