“…This line of research certainly includes the potential for gaining a deeper understanding of employee engagement and the meaning and determinants of “enchanted workplaces” (e.g., Boje & Baskin, 2011; Endrissat et al, 2015; Michaelson et al, 2014). We should further stress that the enchantment construct likely has similar importance and application for other disciplines, such as anomalistic, clinical, cognitive, and transpersonal psychologies (for reviews, see Cardeña et al, 2014; Lankton & Lankton, 1986; Rabeyron & Loose, 2015; Sagher et al, 2019).…”

Situational-enchantment is a hypothesized arousal state encompassing a potent sense of connection or oneness with a “transcendent power or ultimate reality.” Qualitative research previously suggested that this individual difference involves dissonance around ideations with competing “Emotional, Sensorial, Timeless, Rational, and Transformative” themes. We tested this presumed phenomenology via an online convenience sample of 79 men and 101 women who reported memorable ghostly experiences during a paranormal tour within the last 12 months. Respondents provided a global enchantment rating of their anomalous experiences, as well as selected specific descriptors from a set of 30 items on an adjective checklist (ACL). Analyses revealed that 21 items on the Enchantment-ACL formed a Rasch hierarchy of generally “pleasant” themes that was free of response biases related to age, sex, and latency (time since the “enchanting” experience). This structured sequence contained all five experiential themes, and the resulting Enchantment-ACL measure of this phenomenon showed good internal reliability (Rasch reliability = .82) and a positive correlation with global enchantment ratings ( r = .51, p < .001). The other nine items formed a separate factor containing overtly “unpleasant” ideations. We discuss the results within a cognitive dissonance framework for situational-enchantment, although future research must explore potential nuances related to the construct’s dimensionality and the specific role of pleasant versus unpleasant ideations.

“…In our work with clients, interview management is an important and necessary aspect of an effective clinical approach. Thus, in some instances, depending on the client's presentation, assessment may necessarily be preceded by the pragmatic activities of establishing rapport, determining how to communicate with the client in a way that we can understand, reducing the immediacy of a crisis if necessary, and recognizing the client's motivation for therapy.In our assessment process we attempt to consider four areas: (a) the presenting problem, (b) background information about the problem itself, (c) the current family or social system organization, and (d) information about the family of origin of each spouse or partner (Lankton & Lankton, 1986, 1989Lankton, Lankton, & Matthews, 1991).

Questions, questions, and more questions come to mind when meeting a client for the first time and in each session thereafter. Ellen presents an interesting profile and, in our view, because of her considerable strengths, a positive prognosis. In assessing a client, we are looking for or constructing information, depending on one's epistemological viewpoint, that makes a difference relative to therapeutic change. For us, information is either useful or not useful, as opposed to correct or incorrect.

The best intentions: Prospective remembering in psychotherapy.

Prospective remembering is the ability to recall previously formed intentions when the occasion is right to act on those intentions. Psychotherapists and their clients often formulate plans that are to be accomplished in the upcoming weeks. It is frequently assumed that failure to complete such plans reflects resistance to therapeutic change. Research on prospective remembering suggests that prospective memory failure may be an alternative explanation in many such instances. The present article reviews recent research on prospective remembering, highlighting factors that influence prospective memory success. Such factors include how a prospective plan is originally formulated (i.e., the plan and the planning situation), how an individual typically organizes his or her future plans (i.e., metamemory strategies), and what the individual is doing when the plan is to be recalled (i.e., the prospective memory retrieval situation). The implications of these research findings for prospective
