Relational depth is an emergent counseling construct that captures the profound connection felt by client and counselor in moments of therapeutic encounter. We used interpretative phenomenological analysis to understand how 10 doctoral counseling students perceived curricular experiences designed to facilitate their ability to engage in relational depth. We identified the following themes: mutuality, counselor growth, externalized to internalized expectations, authenticity, impact of relational depth educational experiences, and relational depth reflection and articulation.

Sexual addiction is prevalent among college students and warrants continued examination. Using a descriptive discriminant analysis, the authors assessed differences in attachment style and religious coping between students in the clinical range of sexual addiction (n = 56) and those in the nonclinical range (n = 270). Results indicated significant differences between the 2 groups, with a large effect size. Specifically, attachment anxiety and negative religious coping were most responsible for the explained variance.
