“…As such, OVP theory brings with it its own language and nomological net of variables as well as implications for more client-centered ways of working therapeutically (Joseph, 2015). For example, it is specifically hypothesised that PTG will be facilitated in those who experience supportive social environments characterised by Rogers (1959) description of necessary and sufficient conditions (Payne, Liebling-Kalifani, & Joseph, 2007), or in more contemporary language, autonomy, competence, and relatedness support (Scrignaro, Barni, & Magrin, 2011), develop greater unconditional self-regard (Flanagan, Patterson, Hume, & Joseph, 2015), intrinsic motivation (Murphy. Demetriou, & Joseph, 2015), and organismic valuing (Zwiercan & Joseph, 2018).…”

“…This is confirmed by Murph et al (2015) who state that individuals seek to search for new experiences and the desire to engage in them, and to practice activities that produce positive results is a contributing factor to their growth after trauma; therefore individuals who develop posttrauma are individuals who enjoy a good amount of self‐motivation toward life and its experiences. While the results of Zhang et al (2015) referred to in Younis (2018) concluded that the most important dimensions of trauma growth are: communication with others, personal strength, a new style and philosophy in life and appreciation of it, and finally spiritual elevation.…”

This study seeks to explore the effect of the COVID‐19 outbreak pandemic on the posttraumatic growth among Saudi individuals and also to assess the effect of demographic variables on the PTG. A descriptive design was applied to detect the level of PTG and to determine the differences in PTG due to demographic variables. A randomized sample consisting of 365 participants was chosen; the participants’ ages ranged between 20 and 60. The study sample was divided into subgroups according to demographic variables. The posttraumatic growth scale (PTG‐21) applied online to the study sample. The results indicated that there were high levels of improved personal relationships, increased emotional strength and resilience, greater spiritual connection, and a heightened sense of gratitude toward life among Saudis, while there were low levels of the new opportunities and the total score of posttraumatic growth. The results also found that there are significant statistical differences in the PTG due to demographic variables except academic degree has not no effect in PTG. The findings highlighting the importance of the psychological service centers, to help who suffer from the negative effects of COVID‐19 pandemic outbreak symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive.

“…The aims of the work are: (a) to contribute to normalising survivors as human beings; (b) to contribute to research into person‐centred psychotherapy training; (c) to contribute to person‐centred analysis of UPSR/PTG; and (d) to develop a feminist person‐centred sociotherapy. The rationale for the project is threefold: (a) survivors of sexual violence are routinely silenced (Freedman, ) and pathologised (Wilson & Jones, ); (b) UPSR and PTG are current person‐centred research concerns (Murphy, Demetriou, & Joseph, ); and (c) the main text that describes and explores person‐centred training (Mearns, ) is now quite dated and in any case doesn't address these issues.…”

Shocking revelation! There are women survivors of sexual violence training as person-centred psychotherapists

This article introduces a new Associate Editor and her interest in researching the experiences of women survivors of sexual violence in UK person-centred psychotherapy training. KEYWORDSperson-centred psychotherapy training, qualitative research, sexual violence, survivors I am a sociologist, an academic, a feminist, a psychotherapist-in-training -and a survivor of sexual violence. This is the first time I have "outed" myself in a public forum as a survivor of sexual violence. I have chosen my appointment as an Associate Editor of Psychotherapy and Politics International as a moment for self-disclosure as I believe that in being political we also need, where we can, to be personal, and this feels like the right time for me. | SEXUAL VIOLENCESexual violence is a global epidemic which currently shames victims/survivors rather than perpetrators, and this includes psychotherapists, who, as Adams (2013) says, can feel shame about "personal difficulties" (p. 8). A search for academic research exploring "survivors and psychotherapy training" is largely futile: Wilson and Jones (2010) present the "case" of a graduate counselling student/rape survivor, "Mary", who experiences reasonable responses, i.e., "a lack of interest in … sexual intercourse and hobbies [and] anger and irritability" (p. 445). Wilson and Jones go on, somewhat smugly and simplistically to recommend that: "therapists explore and work through their own past traumas early in their careers" (p. 454). Thereafter, it appears that the library catalogue assumes the researcher means "psychotherapists working with survivors". Whilst Adams' (2013) work humanises psychotherapists, none of her interviewees is a survivor; Etherington (2004) reports that, when she revealed her own experiences of abuse, she met with suggestions of "over-exposure" (p. 35). It is perhaps not surprising that many psychotherapists and psychotherapists-in-training keep quiet about their own lived experiences of violence, abuse, and trauma.In the light of this, I am interested in conducting research into the experience of psychotherapists-in-training who are survivors of violence, abuse and trauma. This work is "practice-based", that is: "the research question is triggered by personal experience and a 'need to know' … [and] a goal is to produce knowledge that makes a positive difference to practice" (Bager-Charleson, 2014, p. 2). This resonates with me. I recently found a photograph taken by the man
