The Moderating Relationship of Spirituality on Negative Life Events and Psychological Adjustment
The authors used a path model to examine how spirituality moderates relationships between negative life experiences and psychological adjustment, operationalized for this study as levels of depression and anxiety. Results suggest that spirituality provides a significant moderating effect for both depression and anxiety. The moderating effect was stronger for depression than for anxiety
Clinical Behaviors for Addressing Religious/Spiritual Issues: Do We Practice What We Preach?
To determine if counselors integrate clinical behaviors for addressing religious/spiritual issues in counseling consistent with their ratings of the importance of such behaviors, the authors conducted a national survey of American Counseling Association (ACA) members. Seventy-eight ACA members rated the importance of and frequency with which they engaged in a set of 30 clinical behaviors that were identified in the existing literature as addressing religious/spiritual issues within counseling. Results indicated possible disparities between importance and frequency ratings. Potential barriers to counselors' utilization of religious and spiritually directed clinical behaviors were identified
A new era of wide-field submillimetre imaging: on-sky performance of SCUBA-2
SCUBA-2 is the largest submillimetre wide-field bolometric camera ever built.
This 43 square arc-minute field-of-view instrument operates at two wavelengths
(850 and 450 microns) and has been installed on the James Clerk Maxwell
Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. SCUBA-2 has been successfully commissioned and
operational for general science since October 2011. This paper presents an
overview of the on-sky performance of the instrument during and since
commissioning in mid-2011. The on-sky noise characteristics and NEPs of the 450
and 850 micron arrays, with average yields of approximately 3400 bolometers at
each wavelength, will be shown. The observing modes of the instrument and the
on-sky calibration techniques are described. The culmination of these efforts
has resulted in a scientifically powerful mapping camera with sensitivities
that allow a square degree of sky to be mapped to 10 mJy/beam rms at 850 micron
in 2 hours and 60 mJy/beam rms at 450 micron in 5 hours in the best weather.Comment: 18 pages, 15 figures.SPIE Conference series 8452, Millimetre,

The Inclusion of Spiritual Process in Counseling and Perceived Counselor Effectiveness
In this study, client level of spirituality was examined as a potential moderater for the effectiveness of including spiritual process in the counseling process. Using an analogue design, participants were crossed on self-reported level of spirituality and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 analogue conditions. Results suggested that a spiritual intervention was perceived similarly to a cognitive-behavioral intervention for all respondents. Those respondents who self-reported higher levels of spirituality rated the counselor on the analogue as more expert and more trustworthy, regardless of which of the 2 analogue conditions they evaluated. Implications for counselors are provided
Absolute Versus Tentative Interpretations: Mediating Effects of Client Locus of Control
An analog design was used to investigate the mediating effects of client locus of control (i.e., an internal focus or external focus) on perceptions of counselor style of interpreting events (i.e., absolute or tentative interpretations) on measures of perceived session depth and smoothness, and perceived counselor expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness. One hundred and thirty-four undergraduate college students, crossed on level of locus of control, were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions, and then completed measures of perceived session depth and smoothness, as well as perceived counselor expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness. Results indicated a significant interaction effect on perceived counselor trustworthiness. Implications for college counselors are provided
Spirituality and Counselor Competence: A National Survey of American Counseling Association Members
A random sample of 505 American Counseling Association (ACA) members completed a questionnaire thaI evaluated
respondents' ratings of the importance of 9 competencies developed at the Summit on Spirituality (G. Miller, 1999; "Summit
Results," 1995) meetings to effectively address spiritual and religious issues in counseling practice. Results suggest that,
in general, ACA members strongly support the importance of the competencies for effective counseling practice
Breathwork as a Theraputic Modality: An Overview for Counselors.
Using the breath as a vehicle for accessing psychological material Is a topic
rarely discussed In the counseling literature, despite the use of conscious
engagement with the breath by many spiritual traditions for the purpose of
personal transformation. This article describes 3 types of conscious breathing (circular breathing; conscious connected breathing, and fast and full
breathing) and the use of therapeutic breathwork within the counseling
process. The authors describe the many facets of the breathwork experience,
provide a case study, and address clinical considerations when
engaging in breathwork with clients
