1. Using Creativity in School Counseling: Supporting Adolescent Students with Acquired Disabilities

Author

Ricks, Lacey, Babel, Korinne, and Kitchens, Sarah

Abstract

Students with a newly acquired disability may struggle with adjusting to their life postdisability; therefore, they represent a unique facet of students within schools that require specialized services and support by school counselors. Creativity, used by school counselors within therapy sessions, may help promote personal growth and the successful transition of students back into school and home environments after a disability is acquired. This article focuses on narrative therapy, music, art, and drama techniques, as well as creative examples of how to approach transition issues associated with adolescent students who are struggling with newly acquired disabilities.

2. Self-Efficacy as It Relates to Attributions and Attitudes towards Poverty among School Counselors-in-Training

Author

Kitchens, Sarah, Ricks, Lacey, and Hannor-Walker, TeShaunda

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to examine the self-efficacy of school counselors-in-training and their attributions and attitudes towards poverty. The population for this study consisted of master's level school counseling students from two southeastern schools. All data were obtained via self-report measures and were collected using an internet survey and paper surveys. The study utilized a multiple regression analysis in an attempt to explore the relationships between attitudes and self-efficacy and attributions and self-efficacy. Although no significant relationship was found between self-efficacy and attitudes or attributions, the results of the study showed that school counselors-in-training held similar attitudes and attributions as the general American population which are primarily negative. Implications for training are discussed.

3. Experiences of Black Adolescents with Depression in Rural Communities

Author

Hannor-Walker, TeShaunda, Bohecker, Lynn, Ricks, Lacey, and Kitchens, Sarah

Abstract

Literature does little to explore the perceptions of Black adolescents with depression or their perspective of treatment effectiveness. Studies are usually from urban areas and there is a dearth of research with Black adolescents from rural areas. This study explored the unique personal experiences of Black adolescents located in the rural southeastern United States, with the purpose of gaining a clearer understanding when working with this population. An interpretative qualitative method was used to explore 10 participants' interpretation of their experiences to gain insight in how they make meaning of those experiences. Five significant categories were found to capture participant themes: (a) definition of depression, (b) seeking treatment, (c) coping and problem solving strategies, (d) types of emotional support, and (e) contributing factors to depression. Specific recommendations and interventions are suggested for mental health clinicians to become more educated and aware when working with Black adolescents.

5. Self-Efficacy as It Relates to Attributions and Attitudes towards Poverty among Pre-Service School Counselors

Author

Kitchens, Sarah Oliver

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to examine the self-efficacy of pre-service school counselors and their attributions and attitudes towards poverty. The population for this study consisted of Master's level school counseling students from two southeastern schools. All data were obtained via self-report measures and were collected using an internet survey and paper surveys. Instruments used in the survey included a demographics questionnaire developed by the researcher, the School Counselor Self-Efficiacy Scale (Bodenhorn & Skaggs, 2005), Attitudes About Poverty Scale (Yun & Weaver, 2010), and the Attributions of Poverty Scale (Bullock, Williams, & Limbert, 2011). The study utilized a multiple regression analysis in an attempt to explore the relationships between attitudes and self-efficacy and attributions and self-efficacy. The results of the study show that the pre-service school counselors who participated in this study held similar attitudes and attributions towards the general American population, which are primarily negative. This study also found no significant relationship between self-efficacy and attitudes or attributions. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
