This exploratory survey investigated the issue of problematic students/trainees from the perspective of master's and doctoral students in clinical and counseling psychology programs. Findings suggest that students (a) were aware of problematic trainees in their programs; (b) believed faculty were primarily responsible for handling problematic peers, though students were unclear about procedures for handling this issue; (c) expressed greatest concerns about issues involving peers' interpersonal functioning; and (d) responded by gossiping or consulting with other peers, withdrawing, and, less often, confronting a problem peer. Problematic peers impacted respondents' own functioning, relationships with peers, and perceptions of faculty, and they disrupted the learning environment. Study implications and limitations are noted.

Kiselica and Kiselica's (2014, pp. 260-274) comprehensive review is a valuable guide to anyone who has interest or involvement with teen fathers. As such, the information in this article should be disseminated to a broad target audience. We extend this article by looking at it from the contexts of fatherhood and personal clinical perspective. We suggest a multilevel approach to deliver the important message discussed by Kiselica and Kiselica, and issue a challenge to continue and to seek new creative ways to get the information out to professionals who are in position to help teen fathers.

Previous studies suggest that the putative human pheromone estratetraenol affects several systems underlying human functioning and appears to activate neural systems that are known to affect sexual behavior. In this study, we investigated whether exposure to estratetraenol affects men’s social cognition abilities. In the first experiment, men performed the Interpersonal Perception task while being exposed to estratetraenol and to a control solution. Men performed the task with better accuracy while being exposed to estratetraenol. This improvement was evident especially in the Intimacy category where participants evaluated romantic relationships. In a second experiment, we exposed a different sample of men to estratetraenol and to a control solution while performing a task that implicitly measured their emotional reaction to photos depicting two humans either romantically touching or not, with a control condition of two inanimate objects either touching or not. We found that the participants’ emotional reaction to touch was stronger under exposure to estratetraenol. Together, these results suggest that exposure to estratetraenol may trigger a change in men’s social cognition, especially in sexually related situations.
