“…They had an average of 5.6 years in practice. Since phenomenology seeks an in-depth understanding of a particular group it is appropriate to recruit individuals who can relate to the research focus, and purposive sampling was used (Gideon, 2012). Although counsellor licensing is not yet required in Australia, the participants were all members of professional counselling associations, which have ethical and training standards in place.…”

While therapeutic alliance formation has been widely researched over many sessions of psychotherapy, the question of alliance formation in short-term counselling has been less explored. Given the increasing evidence in the literature for the positive impact of alliances on therapy outcomes, providing counsellors -who may work with clients for a limited number of sessionswith enhanced insight into alliance formation will be of value. This qualitative study investigated the experiences of eight counsellors forming alliances with clients over short periods. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Five major themes emerged, that while congruent with the alliance literature, add some details relevant to day-to-day practice. These themes included: the importance of strong alliances; the need for psychologically comfortable environments; the timing of alliance formation; and the impact of counsellor personal qualities -such as being realin strengthening and maintaining alliances. In addition, an unexpected sixth theme revealed that body language was highly valued as an indicator of strong or weak alliances. Implications for increasing the use of body language to enhance counselling practice and education are discussed.

KEY WORDS:The therapeutic alliance concept evolved throughout the development of Western psychotherapy, first appearing in 1912 in Freud's early work (Elvins & Green, 2008).Alliances have been defined as "the collaborative and affective bond between therapist and patient" (Daniel, Garske, & Davis, 2000) and "the degree to which the patient experiences the relationship with the therapist as helpful or potentially helpful in achieving the patient's goals in psychotherapy" (Luborsky & Luborsky, 2006, p. 63). Over many decades the influences on, and the value of, strong working alliances in the context of long-term psychotherapy have For example, counsellors working in social support agencies often find clients attending once, twice or even three times, whereas psychotherapists may be accustomed to clients attending for one or more years. Research on therapeutic alliances has emerged predominantly from long-term data in the field of psychotherapy (e.g. Barnicot et al., 2012;Hersoug, Høglend, Havik, von der Lippe, & Monsen, 2009;Langhoff, Baer, Zubraegel, & Linden, 2008;Munder, 2010). Through analysing the experiences of eight counsellors and their observations of clients' alliance signals, this study identified specific issues that can emerge in short-term counselling. Counselling and therapeutic alliancesIt is generally considered conclusive that counselling is effective (e.g. Lambert, 2004;Rosenthal, 1990). An influential factor contributing to this effectiveness is the strength or depth of the counsellor-client relationship. Reviewers of the research are "virtually unanimous in their opinion that the...

“…Several reviews have shown RCTs to be non-random subsets of general patient populations (sometimes by design) with findings including the under-representation of older aged patients in trials of cancer [13], osteoarthritis [14] and lower back pain [18]; concomitant chronic morbidity in trials of coronary heart disease [17]; smoking habits and motivation in smoking cessation [19]; lung function in asthma [16]; unemployment and lower educational qualification in drug abuse [22]; and both low and high disease severity in pharmacological and psychotherapeutic depression trials [21]. Whilst considerations and adjustments for non-random sampling are commonplace in electoral polls and market research [27,28], equivalent developments for RCTs are rarely quantified [29] and have only recently received serious attention. Those which have done are often limited to basic demographic data in the general population [51][52][53][54], and the relatively small attenuations to the revised effect size may be because (non-)recruitment was not adequately characterised by these reasons alone.…”

“…Campers were asked on day 4 or 5 to participate in a 1-on-1 (3 cases) or paired (18 cases) semi-structured interviews that lasted from 15-to 30-minutes. Semi-structured interviews are regarded as informal but guided [24,25], the first matching the environment of the learning center and the latter serving to our research inquiries. Semi-structured interviews also serve to collect descriptions of the interviewee's perceptions with respect to interpretation of the meaning behind such descriptions [26].…”

Diversity has been a prevalent issue in the American STEM workforce for a number of years. Efforts to increase diversification have resulted in alternate learning spaces such as makerspaces, after school programs, and technology integrated curriculums. Our study, hosted at a non-profit organization serving underrepresented youth, leveraged the video game Minecraft (MC) as a way to engage summer campers in scientific concepts and inquiries over one week. Reoccurring themes from interviews include familial rules on technology use at home, engaging with STEM in a novel way, and a love for building and creating within MC. We discuss our insight into the discoveries and challenges of these types of STEM-oriented program that takes place in informal settings.
