We proposed the implementation of a course dedicated to the etiology and treatment of process addictions in counselor training programs. We described the nature of the course and results of paired-sample t-tests examining differences in 23 students' preferences, competence, importance, and understanding at the beginning and end of the semester. Specifically, student preferences for working with process addictions, competence, and understanding of process addictions significantly increased with large effect sizes at the completion of the course. We concluded with a description of implications for counselor educators and counselor training programs.

Given the potential negative effects of vicarious racism, we sought to examine the impact of vicarious racism via the media on college students of color. Using a sample of 217 college students of color, we analyzed positive and negative affect and craving for alcohol and marijuana before and after exposure to media stimuli. Split‐plot analysis of variance results revealed a statistically significant interaction effect between time and group for negative affect, but not cravings for substances.

Children living in rural communities can have higher levels of mental health needs due to limited access to developmentally appropriate care. Often the lack of play therapy training or access to mental health resources makes it difficult for children or families in rural areas to receive care. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has forced virtual methods of service delivery to increase around the world, which provide opportunities for mental health professionals to reach rural communities and families. Child-Parent Relationship Therapy offers healing to families through strengthening the child-parent relationship. Recommendations are provided to successfully facilitate Child-Parent Relationship Therapy virtually to rural communities in need.

Children with disabilities have unique and often specialized needs. The parents of children with disabilities play an integral and sometimes challenging role in supporting, advocating, and caring for their children. This article introduces an evidence-based approach to work with parents of children with disabilities that focuses on strengthening the relationship between the parent and child through child–parent–relationship therapy (CPRT). Disability-responsive adaptations and recommendations are provided for CPRT, specifically for deaf and hard-of-hearing children, children with physical disabilities, and children with autism spectrum disorder.

Mental health professionals must merge multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills into their clinical practices because of the growing cultural demographics in the United States. However, few interventions are documented that contribute to the cultural identity development of multiracial children and families. Adlerian play therapy is a developmentally appropriate intervention for children that emphasizes social interest, resilience qualities, and family atmosphere that could help multiracial children form a healthy cultural identity. This article further presents the application of Adlerian play therapy with multiracial children through the use of a case study.
