“…Research according to the CQR approach strives to develop detailed descriptions of processes and perceptions through a data analysis consisting of three central steps (domains, core ideas, and cross-analyses) that are carried out by several judges and then reviewed until a consensus is reached ( Hill et al, 2005 ; Hill, 2015 ). The CQR is considered well suited for the study of complex phenomena such as therapeutic processes ( Hill et al, 1997 ), and therefore is frequently used in counseling and psychotherapy studies (e.g., Coutinho et al, 2011 ; Daniels et al, 2015 ; Caperton et al, 2020 ). It is particularly useful for examining topics that have not yet been explored or for a practice for which there are few theoretical foundations ( Hill et al, 1997 ).…”

Non-Haredi Arts Therapists’ Perceptions of Therapy With Ultra-Orthodox Children

2021

Studies have underscored the complexity of the encounter between ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) society and psychotherapy, as well as the challenges involved in developing a therapeutic relationship in cross-cultural therapy. However, there is scant research on therapy for ultra-Orthodox children, especially when it comes to arts therapies that take place in a cross-cultural setting. The current study examined the perceptions of 17 arts therapists (including visual art therapists, dance/movement therapists, psychodramatists, music therapists and bibliotherapists) who are not ultra-Orthodox, and who currently work or have previously worked with ultra-Orthodox children. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the therapists and analyzed using the principles of Consensual Qualitative Research. The study covered four domains: (1) perceptions of the significance and objectives of arts therapy with ultra-Orthodox children; (2) the influence of the cultural difference between therapist and client on the emotional experience and the therapeutic relationship; (3) the use of arts in therapy; (4) systemic aspects. The findings indicate significant perceptual and value-based disparities between therapists and clients, which pose difficulties and challenges to all participating parties and require therapists to be highly sensitive. Aside from the difficulties, the findings suggest that this cultural difference may also have certain advantages for clients as well as therapists. The findings likewise attest to the multifaceted process of change that is taking place within Haredi society in its attitude toward psychotherapy in general and arts therapy in particular.

“…Therefore, incorporating accessible times and appointments for treatment would be beneficial. A same-gendered therapist who can be emotionally available, model that behavior, and create space for Latino fathers would aid in their involvement and reduce treatment attrition (Caperton et al, 2020; Eddy et al, 2019). Parent education and prevention should increase awareness of PPD and decrease the potential stigma associated with paternal depression in the postnatal period.…”

Several studies of paternal postpartum depression (PPD) typically use homogenous samples. As a growing population and susceptibility to experiencing postpartum depression, little is known about the risk factors associated with paternal postpartum depression among Latino fathers. The nonrandomized convenience sampling strategy yielded a heterogeneous sample of 101 Latino fathers. Predictors of paternal PPD were coping skills, age, having a partner in PPD treatment, and egalitarian gender attitudes were estimated using a single logistic regression model. A second logistic regression model was performed using STATA’s stepwise estimation to obtain a final model with only significant predictors for paternal PPD symptoms. Results from the logistic regression models indicate that Latino fathers who reported higher maladaptive coping skills had increased odds of being above the clinical cutoff for paternal PPD ( OR: 1.99, 95%CI: 1.02–3.90, p < .05). The results of the stepwise logistic regression indicated that increased maladaptive coping skills ( OR: 2.14, 95%CI: .11–4.13) as well as having a partner in PPD treatment ( OR: 2.66, 95%CI: .84–8.44) increased the odds of scoring above the clinical cutoff for paternal PPD. In addition, being older decreased the odds of scoring above the clinical cutoff for paternal PPD ( OR: .87, 95%CI: .77–.99). Findings indicate that when a Latino father is younger, endorses maladaptive coping skills and has a partner in PPD treatment, it is associated with increased odds of paternal PPD. In addition, culturally responsive treatment implications for Latino men are discussed.

“…The research method and data analysis adhered to the principles of Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR), which is based on phenomenological elements whose purpose is an in-depth observation of the experiences and subjective perceptions of the participants, while striving for a consensus by a team of researchers [ 47 ]. The method was developed in the field of psychotherapy research [ 48 ], and is therefore common in research on counseling and therapy processes [ 49 , 50 ]. This method is considered very effective in researching topics that have not yet been studied or that are not sufficiently theoretically based [ 36 ].…”

Studies have underscored the complexity of psychotherapy for Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and cross-cultural therapy in particular, which evokes fear of disruption of basic values. Parents’ sense of responsibility for their child’s religious education exacerbates these problems in child therapy. However, there is scant research on child therapy for the Ultra-Orthodox, especially in the field of arts therapies. The present study examined the perceptions of 17 Ultra-Orthodox parents whose children were receiving arts therapies (including art therapy, dance/movement therapy, music therapy, psychodrama and bibliotherapy). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents and analyzed based on the principles of Consensual Qualitative Research. The study covered five domains: (1) The parents’ experiences in therapy; (2) The parents’ perceptions of the child’s experiences in therapy; (3) Implications of environmental-social factors on the parents’ perceptions and experiences of therapy; (4) Effects of intercultural aspects on therapy; (5) Perceptions of the use of the arts in therapy. The findings show that the experiences of ultra-Orthodox parents in the arts therapies of their children is complex due to the influence of the socio-cultural context, which involves dealing with stigma and tensions in their relationship with the education system. This context also shapes their perceptions of therapy, which can be characterized as purpose-oriented. The findings also highlight the parents’ challenges in coping with the intercultural therapeutic relationship, and emphasizes the parents’ preference for a therapist from a similar religious/cultural background and for cultural supervision of therapy. However, the results also suggest that there are benefits inherent to intercultural therapy in general and arts therapies in particular, including a sense of security, openness and acceptance of the parents and children.
