“…The current systematic review elucidates that race and ethnicity have received far too little attention in the study of the association between CRP and depressive symptoms, which is particularly troublesome given that cultural variables have historically been considered nuisance variables (Hall et al, 2016; Sue, 1999) that receive passing or even hostile attention by researchers (Neville and Carter, 2005). Notably, 75% of the studies in the systematic review did not report basic descriptive participant data, such as demographic and ethnicity/race data, and for those that did, minority populations made up such a small aspect of their sample size that there is likely not enough power in order to detect robust, race/ethnicity specific, and generalizable results.…”

One of the most common inflammatory markers examined in depression is C-reactive protein (CRP). However, the magnitude of the association between CRP and depression when controlling for potentially confounding factors such as age, sex, socio-economic status, body mass index, medication and other substance use, and medical illness, is unclear. Inconsistencies in other methodological practices, such as sample collection, assaying, and data cleaning and transformation, may contribute to variations in results. We aggregate studies that examined the association between CRP and depression in two ways. First, a systematic review summarizes how studies of CRP and depression have reported on methodological issues. Second, a tiered meta-analysis aggregates studies that have adhered to various levels of methodological rigor. Findings from the systematic review indicate a lack of protocol detail provided. The effect between depression and CRP was small, but highly significant across all stages of the meta-analysis (p < 0.01). The effect size in the most methodologically rigorous stage of the meta-analysis, which included studies controlling for age, sex, obesity, medical conditions and substance, medication, or psychosocial factors, was small (r = 0.05). There were also only 26 articles in this stage (13% of studies from the systematic review), suggesting that more studies that consistently account for these confounding factors are needed. Additionally, an a priori quality score of methodological rigor was a significant moderator in this stage of the meta-analysis. The effect size was strikingly attenuated (r = 0.005) and non-significant in studies with higher quality scores. We describe a set of recommended guidelines for future research to consider, including sample collection and assaying procedures, data cleaning and statistical methods, and control variables to assess.

“…Formalized by several US-based psychological organizations (Arredondo et al 1996;American Psychological Association 2002;American Counseling Association 2015) and popularized by myriad special journal issues (e.g., Note.

Though the multicultural discourse in applied psychology initially focused on race and ethnicity and distinguished itself by foregrounding the experiences of racial minorities as the targets of discrimination (as opposed to social psychology's tendency to study the perpetrators of discrimination), multicultural competencies are not limited to knowledge, skills, and awareness about racial and ethnic minorities.…”

Since the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness in 1973, psychology has transformed the way it approaches sexual orientation and gender identity issues in scientific research and clinical practice. The paradigmatic shift from psychopathology to identity has corresponded with the introduction of BLGBT affirmative therapy,^which suggests that therapists should affirm clients' sexual orientations rather than reinforce sexual minorities' experiences of stigma and marginalization. This qualitative study used a subset of psychotherapy training videos about LGBT issues to explore the form of content of LGBT affirmative therapy in the context of increased attention to identity and multiculturalism in applied psychology. The videos suggest that multiculturally competent therapists should understand sexuality and gender issues in terms of what psychologists call Bmultiple^or Bintersecting^identities, namely race and ethnicity. While the multicultural turn in psychotherapy may signal a transformation in mental health service provision, our analysis questions whether these videos may unintentionally reflect a neoliberal logic of inclusion that obscures the structural dimensions of social inequality. We suggest that the uptake of intersectionality-like identitarian discourse in psychotherapy in particular offers opportunities for challenging and reinforcing neoliberalism.

In this broad analysis of the history, current state and future prospects of Counselling Psychology as a distinct branch of the Psychology discipline, we first describe how Counselling Psychology emerged historically, and we then review the ways in which Counselling Psychology offers something quite distinct from the mainstream discipline, and which could even begin to resemble a kind of genuinely 'critical psychology'. We offer a nine-point 'prospectus' setting out the value of Counselling Psychology, focusing in particular on its specifically humanistic contributions within Psychology; we also consider its limitations. We urge that non-defensive and engaged attention be given to serious critiques of the psychological therapies, and we advocate ongoing, genuinely critical engagement with such challenges, such that an authentically critical-radical Counselling Psychology might become a genuine possibility. Introduction: personalWe began to conceive of this article when asked to show where Counselling Psychology sits in relation to the field of critical psychology . While it therefore carries some sense of being a defence of Counselling Psychology, a more important task for us in this article is to show the ways in which Counselling Psychology has great potential for taking forward the historic task of Humanistic Psychology in its important goal of humanizing the Psychology discipline. We both have a long-standing relation to Humanistic Psychology, albeit with different emphases, though we are far from being mainstream or 'on-message' psychologists; and our own critical thinking is not necessarily aligned with 'mainstream' critical psychology. Our contribution might therefore be considered a form of critical-humanistic counselling psychology. We also think it highly relevant
