▼ The Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ; Wilson, 2002) was created to measure the extent to which an individual contacts his/her chosen values, an important construct in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999). The goal of the current study was to contribute to the psychometric evaluation of the VLQ by replicating and extending the first study of the VLQ’s psychometric properties conducted by Wilson, Sandoz, Kitchens, & Roberts (2010). In the present study, the VLQ was administered to a normative collegian sample (n = 171, M age = 19.32) and a distressed sample of collegians who were participating in clinical outcome studies (n = 111, M age = 21.14). With respect to reliability, good internal consistency was found with both the distressed and normative samples and across the VLQ Composite and Importance and Consistency subscales (∝ = .72 – .79). Additionally, good 3-week test-retest reliability was observed, especially for the Composite (r = .74) and Importance subscale (r = 76). As would be expected, a somewhat lower test-retest reliability was found on the Consistency subscale (r = .67). Similar to Wilson et al., three eigenvalues greater than 1.0 (a common criteria for retaining factors) were found within the normative group while within the distressed sample four eigenvalues greater than 1.0 were found. Across both the normative and distressed samples, work-education, family-parenting, and friendsrecreation- self care appeared to cluster. With respect to validity, the VLQ Composite and subscales were significantly higher among the normative than distressed samples (p < .001) and correlated (at a Bonferroni corrected ∝ level of .003) positively with measures of adaptive functioning, negatively with measures of maladaptive functioning, and negligibly with impression management and grade point. Overall, the data support the general reliability and validity of the VLQ for use with normative and distressed collegian samples and are generally consistent with the ACT model of psychopathology.

▼ This study investigated the psychological construct of hopelessness as a factor in hospitalized alcoholics. There is a high suicide rate for alcoholics, and previous research has shown hopelessness to be a key factor in suicide. There have been no previous studies of hopelessness in alcoholics. The purposes of this study were to establish norms and reliability of the Hopelessness Scale, an instrument designed to measure hopelessness, and to gain more information about hopelessness by testing several hypotheses concerning the relationship between hopelessness and certain variables. These variables included severity of alcoholism, depression, age, length of problem drinking, number of hospitalizations for drinking, relationship with family of origin, pending legal problems, and changes in hopelessness during a treatment program. Subjects were 94 inpatients of a 30-day substance abuse treatment program of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Battle Creek, Michigan. In addition to the HS, instrumentation included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST). Upon admission, the subjects completed the HS, BDI and MAST. The HS and BDI were administered again approximately a week after admission and a final time at the completion of the program. Those who were classified as alcoholics by the MAST had a mean HS score of 5.00 with a standard deviation of 4.66 and a range of 0-20. Reliability of the HS for this population using Kuder-Richardson procedures was .94, and using Split-half procedures it was .80 with a Spearman-Brown correction of .89. The correlation between depression and alcoholism was higher than the correlation between hopelessness and alcoholism. The correlation between the BDI and MAST was significant (p < .01) while the correlation between the HS and MAST did not reach significance. No relationship between hopelessness and age, length of drinking problem, and number of previous hospitalizations for alcoholism was found. Significantly higher initial HS scores were found for subjects who were not married, who were unemployed, who could not turn to their family of origin for support, and who had legal problems pending. The levels of hopelessness as well as the levels of depression decreased significantly (p < .001) during the treatment program. The differences in the levels of hopelessness noted initially for the subjects who were not married, unemployed, without family support, and with legal problems, changed during the program so that there was no difference in each category at the end of treatment. The results were interpreted as evidence that alcoholics in treatment did not experience hopelessness as much as those who have attempted suicide. The decision and preparations to enter treatment probably served to alleviate hopelessness which may have been present. Although a significant correlation between hopelessness and alcoholism was not found in this sample of hospitalized alcoholics, because of the high rate of suicide… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Robert F.

▼ Hope is a fundamental element of human behavior which activates, shapes, and sustains psychological development. The literature presents hope as a significant nonspecific factor in psychotherapy; however, the specific use of hope is not examined. There has been little exploration or specification of the characteristics, dynamics, and effects of hoping on individual psychology. The author examines hope as a psychological construct and presents a theory of hope development, loss, and distortion, and a model is presented for the therapeutic use of hope in counseling and psychotherapy. The author draws from the philosophical, eschatological, and psychological literature concepts regarding the characteristics and functions of hope. Theoretical formulations are given to describe hope development in accordance with each development era and the accompanying tasks as conceptualized in selected object relations and constructive-developmental theories. The possible cause and effect patterns of hope loss and distortion are examined within the context of the developmental eras, with particular attention given to the development of depression. A model for the assessment of hope functioning in counseling and therapy clients is provided. A model for the therapeutic use of hope in therapy is presented as a conceptual tool for practitioners. The model provides a framework for understanding client hoping behavior and for determining means of engendering and therapeutically using hope to effect client change. The principles of the model are first described for the general therapy process, than for therapy conceptualized as a developmental process. Third, the model is applied to client hope loss and distortion patterns in terms of unique developmental disturbances. Finally, the theory and model are evaluated using selected standard criteria. The theory and model for the therapeutic use of hope offer a conceptual framework for understanding client hope disturbances and providing treatment factors for the engendering and therapeutic use of hope as it is considered to be a significant factor in psychological growth and change.

▼ This study's purpose was to determine if a type of cognitive therapy, Brief Perception Therapy, (Bullmer, 1980) could improve interpersonal perceptual accuracy and psychological adjustment in a substance abuse population. Thirty-five patients seeking inpatient treatment were randomly assigned to a treatment and a comparison group. Twenty-five patients completed the three week program, 13 in the treatment group and 12 in the comparison group. The treatment group received Group Brief Perception Therapy (GBPT) and the comparison group received Regular Group Therapy (RP). Therapists were experienced master's level psychologists and social workers trained in group treatment. GBPT groups used a programmed text, The Art of Empathy (Bullmer, 1975) as a guide and followed a structured group format. The Affective Sensitivity Scale (ASS) was chosen for the study to measure interpersonal perception accuracy. The profile of Mood States (POMS), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS) were used to measure psychological adjustment. A t test (two tailed) was used to determine significant differences between pretreatment and postreatment mean scores for both groups and posttreatment mean scores for each group with significance set at < .05. No significant differences were found between pretreatment and posttreatment responses to measures of interpersonal perception accuracy for both groups. Two factors on the POMS, Tension-Anxiety and Depression-Rejection showed significant differences for the treatment group. No significant differences appeared in responses to posttest comparisons of the GBPT and RP groups on measures of interpersonal perception accuracy and psychological adjustment. Some trends toward significant differences were observed between pretest and posttest measures of psychological adjustment for the GBPT group. Trends toward significant differences between posttest measures of psychological adjustment for the GBPT and RP groups were noted. The conclusions drawn from conducting this study suggest that a more structured approach to group therapy (GBPT) may be as effective as more traditional psychotherapy (RP) in improving psychological adjustment in a substance abuse population. Recommendations for further research included extending the length of the treatment beyond the three week period to allow more time for the patients to internalize the concepts and at the same time allow more time for the therapists to make stringent evaluations and more accurately assess the conceptions of the patients.

▼ Children who have an Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are typically reported by parents and teachers to be poor in attending and concentrating on tasks, functioning below academic potential, and displaying numerous impulsive behaviors. Although research indicates a significant number of these children may have specific learning disabilities, the identification of the specific type and an accompanying treatment modality is necessary for effective treatment. The purpose of this research was to survey the clinical relationships between ADD, learning disabilities, and emotional problems. Subjects (N = 28) were outpatient clients of a private psychiatric clinic who were free of visual or auditory handicaps. The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R), the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), a clinical interview and parent questionnaires were used. Analysis included the subtests of the WISC-R, WRAT, and results of the clinical interviews and parent questionnaires. Four research questions were addressed: (a) the overlap of specific learning disabilities and emotional disturbance; (b) the frequency of learning and emotional problems; (c) the implications for treatment; and (d) the needs of each of the sub-types of ADD. The WISC-R mean sample profile displayed a strong clinical significance in regards to a lowered attention/concentration factor. A significant number of specific learning disabilities was indicated by scores of the WISC-R subtests. Academic achievement as measured by the WRAT was not significantly below grade level. The majority of specific learning disabilities were based in the left hemisphere, indicating verbal and possible auditory processing deficiencies. ADD children rated hyperactive displayed significantly more learning disabilities and emotional disturbance than the non-hyperactive ADD child. The data's implication for treatment indicated: (a) a need for extensive psychological and educational testing; (b) the recognition of the multiple areas requiring treatment; and (c) the necessity of a multi-modal treatment approach.

▼ This study sought to establish a baseline of eating attitudes and behaviors among a non-clinical population of adolescents. Three major questions were addressed: Does a spectrum of weight and diet concern exist among adolescent girls which ranges from dieting for cosmetic reasons to anorexia and bulimia? What is the relationship between attitudes and behaviors at a young age and eating disorders at a later age? What are some of the ways boys and girls differ regarding eating attitudes and behaviors? In addition to these major questions an attempt was made to quantify the incidence anorexia and bulimia. The Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) (Garner, Olmstead and Polivy, 1983) and the Eating Behaviors Questionnaire (EBQ) were administered to 951 public school students in Grades 6 through 12. One eleventh grade male scored in the anorexic range on the EDI. The incidence of bulimia as measured by the EBQ was not statistically significant although 5.4% of boys and 6.9% of girls reported vomiting to control weight. The study found that scores on the EDI significantly increased in the pathological direction with age for girls but not for boys and that boys at all grade levels had significantly lower evidence of weight concern and that boys were more likely to see themselves as underweight than girls. Dieting was found to be rampant among girls with 50% or more of all girls at all grade levels having dieted at some time and 75% of senior girls having dieted. A significant negative correlation was found between age of first menstruation and EDI scores, age of first diet and EDI scores, as well as among age of first menstruation, age of first diet and EDI scores. Individual sub-scales of the EDI were examined for differences across age groups and Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, Body Dissatisfaction Interoceptive Awareness, and Perfectionism Scales were found to be significantly correlated with increasing grade levels but sub-scales Maturity Fears, Interpersonal Distrust and Ineffectiveness were not significantly correlated with grade level.

▼ The study examined the leadership behavior of community mental health centers' program supervisors in Michigan as perceived by program supervisors and their immediate superordinates and immediate subordinates. Consideration and initiating structure were the leadership behaviors examined in the study. Consideration and initiating structure were the leadership behaviors examined in the study. Consideration was defined as: "behavior indicative of friendship, mutual trust, respect, and warmth in the relationship between the leader and the members of the staff." Initiating structure was defined as: "the leader's behavior in delineating the relationship between himself and members of the work-group and in endeavoring to establish well-defined patterns of organization, channels of communication, and methods of procedure" (Halpin, 1973, p. 1). The population for the study consisted of community mental health centers in Michigan. The sample for the study was 10 community mental health centers in Michigan. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) was the instrument used for the study. The method used to obtain data was mailed questionnaires. One hundred and seventy-seven questionnaires were mailed to program supervisors and their immediate superordinates and immediate subordinates in 10 community mental health centers in Michigan. There was a 72% return rate. The research hypotheses were tested through the use of one-way analyses of variance. A .05 level of significance for making Type I error was used. It was concluded that there were differences in perceptions of leadership behavior of program supervisors between younger and older groups of superordinates, and that there were differences in perceptions of leadership behavior of program supervisors between groups of subordinates with different years of employment in agency. However, no other hypotheses were supported. Therefore, the major conclusion of the study was that, generally, differences in perceptions of program supervisors among program supervisors, superordinates, and subordinates were not identified in Michigan community mental health centers. It was also concluded that if there are differences in program supervisors', superordinates', and subordinates' perceptions of leadership behavior among characteristics of program supervisors, superordinates, and subordinates, they are not substantial.

▼ This research addressed the problem of whether a relationship exists between a particular level of ego development and guilt engendered by a rigid conscience based upon orthodox Christian beliefs. It was anticipated that forty-five graduate students at a conservative midwestern seminary who experienced higher levels of guilt and demonstrated a more rigid conscience/superego would score at the Conscientious stage of ego development measured by the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Guilt and rigidity of conscience were measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Object relations theories of the origins of guilt were examined along with the relationship between object relations development processes and ego development processes. It was suggested that early object relations problems are recapitulated at later ego development stages. In particular, it was expected that the Conscientious stage of ego development would recapitulate early object relations difficulties in ways that lead to increased vulnerability to excessive guilt. It was also suggested that certain characteristics of orthodox Christian faith contribute to heightened vulnerability at that stage. Developmentally oriented treatment implications based upon object relations theories were described. No significant differences in the experience of guilt measured by 16PF Factor O were found between ego development levels measured by the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Mean scores of seminary students on 16PF Factors G (moral standards), O (guilt), Q(,3) (compulsivity), and Q(,v) (strictness of conscience) did not differ meaningfully from general population norms. However, significantly elevated levels of compulsivity measured by 16PF Factor Q(,3) and of strictness of conscience measured by 16PF Factor Q(,v) were found at the Conscientious level of ego development. It was suggested that compulsivity serves as a defense against the experience of guilt and that Christian moral standards contribute to that compulsivity. Ego development scores for the sample population were limited to a range of three levels. It was suggested that further studies using a wider range of scores from a more demographically diverse population are needed to unambiguously clarify differences or similarities in the experience of guilt across levels of ego development.

▼ Researchers in the field of grief (Parkes 1972, Bowlby 1980) theorized that personality is probably the major factor in determining how well one recovers from grief. Since Lindemann's (1944) study of surviving loved ones who died in a night club fire in Boston, most researchers have worked under the assumption that a survivor must go through the grief process in order to recover adequately, and that those who do not grieve will have poor recovery. Since the compulsive personality style has difficulty expressing emotions, it was hypothesized by this researcher that compulsives would recover more poorly than others in the general population. It was found by this researcher that there was lack of significant research that attempted to measure personality as a factor in grief recovery. Letters requesting participation were sent to 908 surviving spouses of persons 65 years of age or younger who had died during the previous two to four years and whose death had been reported in the Battle Creek (MI) Enquirer or the Kalamazoo Gazette between January 1980 and June 1982. Only funerals handled by Caucasian funeral directors were included. Of these 908 requests for participation, 175 were returned as undeliverable. Either by return card or telephone 279 persons agreed to participate. As a result of this mailing a sample of 38 males and 155 females was achieved. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory was used to classify persons by personality style. The Bereavement Questionnaire (BQ) (Martin 1981) augmented by items from the Texas Instrument of Grief (Faschingbauer, DeVaul, Zisook 1977) forming the Bereavement Recovery Questionnaire (BRQ), was used to measure grief recovery. A two tailed t test was used to compare the mean scores on both the BQ and BRQ of the 30 highest compulsives with a sample of 30 others drawn after removing all others scoring highest on the compulsive scale. The mean obtained for the compulsive group was actually higher (indicating better adjustment) on both sides, though not significantly so. Thus, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between compulsives and others was retained. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Kenneth Bullmer.

▼ Seventeen adult, chronic hemodialysis out-patients were assessed on measures of: Compliance, beliefs about their health, and depression. The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale was used to assess Internal Locus of Control (LOC), Chance LOC, or Powerful Other LOC. An assessment instrument was developed by the author using the Health Belief Model, and was administered to all subjects. This was designed to give a numerical value to patients' beliefs about the severity of their illness, beliefs about their susceptibility to the consequences of noncompliance, beliefs about the benefits of compliance, beliefs about the barriers that might stand in the way of compliance, and a measure of general health-related motivation. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to measure depression. Fluid compliance was measured by comparing performance over several months with criteria established specifically for each subject. Nine subjects fit the operational definition of noncompliance and were given self-management training that consisted of self-monitoring and cognitive restructuring. A single subject design was used, comparing each person's performance after the intervention with his or her performance before the intervention. Significant results were obtained with four subjects. However, uncontrolled sources of variability may have accounted for some of the apparent effects of the independent variable. Several other clinically significant results were of interest. Noncompliant patients were found to be significantly more depressed than compliant patients. The technique of operationally defining the population at risk was useful and was recommended as a standard procedure to give the staff a more accurate assessment of patient performance. The use of the Health Belief Model appears to have some consistency and may have predictive value. However, the sample was too small for claims of significance. The model proved to be clinically useful. Some patients took interest in the training in self-monitoring, and for some persons this appears to be an effective strategy to improve compliance. Also, the technique was successful in discriminating those who were accurate estimators of their fluid intake from those who were not accurate estimators. Finally, a clinically significant finding was that several noncompliant subjects were fully aware of the consequences of fluid overloading, the severity of their illness, and the benefits of compliance, and still chose to overload on fluids. They were articulate in their awareness of the fact that, for them, the value of the short-term reinforcer outweighed the ultimate punisher.

▼ Depression is a significant mental health problem and has been studied extensively for decades. However, there is still disagreement among clinicians and researchers regarding the causes and psychodynamic processes of depression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between premorbid personality and depression. Using the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) and the Beck Depression Inventory, personality and depression measures were obtained from a sample of adult psychiatric inpatients during acute and remission phases of their hospitalization. Results obtained indicated that the MCMI scales intended to measure premorbid personality during periods of acute psychiatric illness were sensitive to levels of symptom severity. The MCMI measures obtained during acute illness could not be used reliably to make inferences regarding premorbid functioning. Using personality measures obtained during remission phases, it was found that depressed patients, when recovered, did not display personality patterns which were significantly different from those of patients who had been hospitalized for reasons other than depression. Significant differences were found, however, between the personality patterns displayed by depressed and non-depressed inpatients during the acute phase of illness. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that there was no premorbid personality pattern which distinguished depressed from non-depressed clinical subjects. Differences in measured personality patterns between depressed and non-depressed subjects were evident only during the course of depression. It was recommended that further research be conducted to investigate the reliability of the eight basic personality scales of the MCMI. It was further recommended that until more support exists for the reliability of personality trait measures of clinical subjects, a longitudinal design may be most appropriate for an investigation of the relationship of personality and depression.

▼ The study's purpose was to examine possible gender differences in problem perception and desired treatment outcome of 311 persons (135 males and 176 females) selected from a pool of 1500 clients seeking treatment at an outpatient mental health clinic in a medium-sized midwestern city. One hundred males and one hundred females were randomly selected for inclusion. Literature related to crisis theory, research in linguistics, and gender role indicated evidence supporting gender role differences in a variety of interpersonal situations. Clients' verbatim written statements and their reactions to a standard problem checklist at the time of intake provided the data base for analysis. Coding of verbatim statements following neurolinguistic categories permitted comparisons between male/female response to psychological crisis. Chi-square and t-tests were used to compare linguistic categories and problem perception; the p. < .05 level of significance was used. Statistically significant findings were: (1) Women expressed a desire for intrapersonal change in their treatment outcome statements; (2) Women identified more symptom items on the problem checklists; (3) Women used more first person pronouns in their treatment statements; (4) Women used more kinesthetic or feeling words in their problem statements; and (5) Both sexes' use of unspecified representational predicates increased from the problem statements to the desired outcome statements. The research results provided support for the theoretical propositions of Miller (1976) and Gilligan (1982), who hypothesized that women are different from men in their intrapersonal and interpersonal processes. Females, as clients, possessed attributes such as the desire to change intrapersonally, an acceptance of responsibility to change themselves, and a willingness to discuss and express their problems in the affective domain. For counselors and psychotherapists such client characteristics are highly desirable for participation in counseling and psychotherapy.

▼ While developmental theories have been used as a diagnostic tool in counseling adults, they do not seem to have been used as a basis for treatment. The author reviews the theories of Piaget, Kohlberg, Perry and Erikson and abstracts from them a series of basic statements and corollaries that form the core of a theory of developmental counseling and psychotherapy. With these statements as a background, the author discusses the persons involved in therapy, the purposes of therapy, and the stages of therapy. In the considerations on the initial stage of therapy, emphasis is placed on the responsibility of the therapist to determine that the client-therapist relationship facilitates growth in the client's present stages. It is noted that clients attempt, consciously and/or unconsciously, to form a series of relationships with the therapist that are comfortable. When the therapist perceives the relationship to be appropriate for the client's continuing development, he or she may accept the role provided by the client. Otherwise the therapist must alter the relationship so that he or she may assume a more helpful role vis-a-vis the client. An understanding of the characteristics of the stages of life-task development, as presented by Erikson, is seen to be particularly relevant in determining the appropriateness of the client-therapist relationship. In the considerations on the intermediate stage of therapy emphasis is placed on the selection of treatment techniques that provide the client opportunity to exercise stage-related characteristics and that maximize the client's demonstrated strengths. The characteristics of the cognitive stages as they are presented by Piaget, Kohlberg and Perry are reviewed briefly in terms of the treatment modalities which might be used with clients at various levels of development. It is not the author's intent to devise new strategies but to indicate the basis on which therapists might select a strategy from those available in the literature and/or devise new strategies themselves. In order to clarify the concepts presented as a theory of developmental counseling and psychotherapy, the author presents five case studies. Discussed in terms of the clients' developmental stages are both the relationships formed between clients and counselor and some of the treatment modalities employed. For further clarification, the concepts of Developmental Counseling and Psychotherapy are shown in the context of the historical development of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and client-centered therapy. Discussed in detail are the notions of relationship, transference, countertransference, and resistance. Particular attention is also given to the information which developmental therapists seek from their clients, the inclusion of both past and future aspects of client's lives as they impact the predominant emphasis on the clients' present development, and treatment planning. Finally, Developmental Counseling and Psychotherapy is analyzed as a theory. The author notes that it is a… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Edward Trembley, Dr. Robert Betz.
