“…Among this group of studies demonstrating the effectiveness of SFBT in relation to internalizing behaviours, several case studies illustrate how SFBT can be adapted to particular individual circumstances. Frels, Leggett and Larocca () report how creative SF sessions allowed a girl undergoing long‐term surgery to personalize strategies to deal with her painful procedures. Korman () also provides a positive case study of a SFBT intervention with a girl who was displaying psychosomatic symptoms.…”

Although much of the literature has methodological weaknesses, existing research does provide tentative support for the use of SFBT, particularly in relation to internalizing and externalizing child behaviour problems. SFBT appears particularly effective as an early intervention when presenting problems are not severe. Further well-controlled outcome studies are needed. Studies included in the review highlight promising avenues for further research.

“…Adolescents are given coherent questions; thus the counselor not only gathers information on the problems faced by the adolescent, but also creates a favorable environment of cooperation. This helps with the development of an empathic attitude of the counselor towards the global outlook of the adolescent and the creation of the positive relationship between the adolescent and the counselor providing preconditions of outlining specific and clear objectives in the process of counseling (Frels et al, 2009).…”

Research background and hypothesis. The article deals with the manifestation of athletic identity of senior students of secondary schools as a major precondition for the development of physical education among adolescents and health-favouring lifelong physical activity (Anderson, 2004; Bélanger, et al., 2011). The hypothesis of the paper is that under educational counseling, the evaluations of athletic identity among adolescents increase.Research aim was find out the impact of educational counseling (EC) on the alteration of athletic identity (AI) of adolescents.Research methods. In order to evaluate AI among adolescents, a methodology of EC was employed. To reveal issues faced by adolescents, questions of four types were employed: Exception, Miracle, Coping and Scale questions together with PA definition questions ( International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form). The evaluation of AI was performed with the Athletic Identity Questionnaire for Adolescents as developed by C. B. Anderson, L. C. Mâsse and A. C. Hergenroeder (2007) consisting of forty statements which were evaluated in the Likert scale from 1 to 5 by the research participants.The research involved 553 students (294 females and 259 males) whose age average was 16.75 ± 1.11 years. The students were randomly assigned to EC impact (253 students) and comparison (300 individuals) groups. The members of the impact group were counseled from one to six times regarding PA and other problems while the adolescents constituting the comparison group merely indicated their PA and other issues; they were not counseled.Research results. The evaluation of AI and its constituent parts in the impact and comparison groups were not statistically significant before EC (p > 0.05).During the period of EC, the values of AI and its constituents regarding the importance of PA and incentives to be involved in PA statistically significantly improved in the adolescents facing problems connected with PA of the impact group.EC was more efficient for those adolescents who were not sufficiently involved in classes of physical education. They showed significant (p < 0.05) improvement not only in terms of AI but also concerning the values of the importance of PA and the evaluations of social incentives (general incentives).Discussion and conclusions. EC positively impacted the alteration of AI among adolescents. During the period of EC, statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement was observed in the evaluations of AI regarding its constituent parts, the importance of PA and incentives for PA among the adolescents who had been facing problems linked to PA. The AI values statistically significantly (p < 0.05) increased in both males and females during the period of EC. The impact of EC on the athletic identity was insignificant (p > 0.05) in adolescents exhibiting problems in communication with teachers of physical education.

“…However, children with chronic illness may struggle to be emotionally mature, while simultaneously managing the physical symptoms of their conditions (Dahlbeck & Lightsey, 2008). Furthermore, the psychosocial complexities and the chronic nature of CF may create unique challenges for professional counselors providing services to children and their families, such as the deteriorating nature of CF, frequent hospitalizations and the life-threatening prognosis (Frels, Leggett, & Larocca, 2009;Morison, Bromfield, & Cameron, 2003). Counseling professionals' increased sensitivity to the progression and impact of this disease can help guide their intervening efforts (Chesson et al, 2004) by leading them to consider the physiological and psychological trauma caused by CF.…”

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, chronic disease that affects approximately 30,000 adults and children in the United States. Counseling children with the special needs specific to cystic fibrosis can be overwhelming for mental health professionals due to the progressive and deteriorating nature of the illness, long-term contact with clients, and discouraging prognosis. Being exposed to long-term therapeutic relationships with chronically ill children and witnessing treatment failure can contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in counselors, highlighting the need for targeted literature addressing holistic self-care strategies. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a review of the current literature illuminating the challenges facing children with cystic fibrosis and to provide targeted self-care suggestions for professional counselors working with this population.
