What to do when you've tried it all: the development and pilot evaluation of a skills group for the parents of anxious youth
No full textResearch has identified a role for parenting behaviors in the maintenance of child and adolescent anxiety disorders (McCleod, Wood, & Weisz, 2007). This paper reviews the experimental and theoretical literature on the relationship between parenting and youth anxiety as well as the empirical support for parent involvement in child cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The present study describes the development and pilot evaluation of a brief cognitive-behaviorally oriented parent treatment group (CBT+PG) designed to augment individual child CBT for anxiety and presents a conceptual model on which the group is based, focusing on the relationship between parenting behaviors, parent and child distress, parental experiential avoidance, and youth anxiety. This study reports preliminary findings, including feasibility and acceptability of the program based on participant and expert feedback. It also includes case descriptions of three families who participated in the CBT+PG program and three families who received only individual child CBT. Preliminary results support the feasibility and acceptability of running this program in an outpatient setting. Parents were satisfied with the program (M=29.2, SD=.24, possible range=9-36), expert reviewers received it favorably (M=6.4, SD=.26, possible range=1-7), and it appeared to bestow some clinical benefits. This study was unique in that it assessed parenting behaviors, parental experiential avoidance, and parent psychopathology in addition to child outcomes. Discussion elaborates upon the role of these variables and implications for future research and practice involving parents in child anxiety treatment.Psy.

The Avenging-Woman On-Screen: Female Empowerment and Feminist Possibilities
No full textIn The Avenging-Woman On-Screen: Female Empowerment and Feminist Possibilities, Lara C. Stache and Rachel D. Davidson demonstrate how the on-screen character of the avenging-woman offers a complex construction of femininity that serves as a representation of cultural conversations about female empowerment, female agency, and feminism. This character is both woman and hero, typically both physically appealing and physical aggressive—a dichotomy that goes against traditional gendered norms of femininity. Television and film narratives produced since 2010, the authors posit, offer an opportunity to reflect on and consider the evolution of cultural ideologies about women and power, given the significant cultural shifts in Hollywood that occurred amid the #MeToo explosion and post–Harvey Weinstein revelations. Stache and Davidson argue that depictions of the avenging-woman utilize a feminist language of empowerment that suggests the potential for a subversive message against the patriarchy while also recognizing that an alternative reading of some representations presents, at times, a hegemonic construction of empowerment that ultimately cautions against subversion within patriarchal systems. The authors question how these representations may limit social change or, in some cases, represent particularly progressive rhetorics about women and power. Scholars of communication, media studies, film and television studies, and women’s studies will find this book of particular interest.https://opus.govst.edu/fac/1190/thumbnail.jp
