“…Human growth and development is a core area of counselor education (Kaplan et al, 2014), but middle adulthood is an understudied period of the life span (Lachman, 2015). In constructing an identity, counselors integrate their personal and professional selves; personal views and knowledge about midlife are implicit to professional activities (Degges-White & Stoltz, 2015). In constructing an identity, counselors integrate their personal and professional selves; personal views and knowledge about midlife are implicit to professional activities (Degges-White & Stoltz, 2015).…”

“…Given that myths about midlife and negative stereotypes about aging proliferate, it is important that counselors carefully assess their knowledge and beliefs about middle age (McBride & Hays, ). In constructing an identity, counselors integrate their personal and professional selves; personal views and knowledge about midlife are implicit to professional activities (Degges‐White & Stoltz, ).

“…And then environmental factors such as stressful life events may be internalized and contribute to psychological stress or distress (e.g., loneliness, hopelessness, depression) when adolescents’ coping fails. Accumulating psychological distress over time may damage adolescents’ life satisfaction along with sense of meaning in life (Datu & Mateo, 2015; Degges, White, & Stoltz, 2015). Consequently, adolescents’ core thoughts may be “Life is of meaninglessness or no value” (Frankl, 1969).…”

We conducted a mixed-methods study to explore the characteristics of Chinese adolescents with suicidal ideation, using both quantitative and qualitative data and analysis. Participants were N = 244 adolescents, who completed self-report assessments of suicidal ideation, as well as indices of psychological functioning and well-being. A subset of n = 6 high and n = 6 low suicidal ideation adolescents participated in the follow-up interviews. Among the quantitative results, as compared with adolescents with low suicidal ideation, adolescents with high suicidal ideation reported significantly higher scores for stressful life events, coping-avoidant strategies, loneliness, and depression, as well as significantly lower scores for coping-approach strategies. Among the qualitative results, adolescents with high suicidal ideation demonstrated the following characteristics: (a) most troubled by academic pressures and relations, (b) negative self-evaluations, (c) maladaptive understanding of life and death, (d) individual-oriented attributions, and (e) negative coping strategies and self-fulfilling prophesy. These findings

Life satisfaction of psychological counselors who find meaning in their lives increases (Degges-White & Stoltz, 2015). Consequently, the well-being of the counselors also affects the level of meeting the needs of their clients.…”

The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the empathy levels and personal meaning profiles of the psychological counseling candidates studying at university. The research was based on descriptive method. The main purpose was to comparatively examine the changes in the empathy levels and personal meaning profiles of the participants with respect to years. The study group consisted of 36 participants (30.6% of whom were boys, and 69.4% of whom were girls) who were studying at university between the academic years of 2015 and 2019. The data were collected once each year (first, second, third, and fourth grades) from the participants involved in the study group. In order to collect data, which were then analyzed using Statistical Package (SPSS), One Way Anova with repeated measures and the Friedman Test were used. The findings revealed that the basic empathy levels of the prospective psychological counselors did not change during their undergraduate studies, whereas the level of their pursuit of personal meaning in religion and intimacy did change. Counselor Candidates received the highest score in the first year and the lowest score in the fourth year on the dimensions of religion and intimacy of the Personal Meaning Profile scale.
