“…This is facilitated by utilising the time within the consult effectively, focusing on the family's needs and priorities, avoiding distractions, attending to the family's stories, and using reflective listening skills. This work builds on other research in the field highlighting the complexity of interpersonal and professional factors that contribute to positive therapeutic experience during consultations (Brown‐Johnson et al, 2019; Courtnage, 2020; Macaulay et al, 2008; Pitt et al, 2020). Families constantly reported on the mutual development of shared presence, understanding, and confidence between clinician, parent, and/or child.…”

“…Research has been emerging on the effectiveness of single‐session work within various psychotherapy fields, such as mental health, chronic conditions, and sports psychology (Harper‐Jaques & Foucault, 2014; Perkins, 2006; Pitt et al, 2020). Short‐ and long‐term improvements have been reported in patients for a variety of health needs across various settings including but not limited to acute hospital stays, emergency departments, community health settings, and mental health programs (Hoyt et al, 2021; Hymmen et al, 2013; Lee & Tratner, 2021; Pitt et al, 2020), In addition, research has started to explore the characteristics of the consultation that lead to successful implementation of SST (Courtnage, 2020). However, there is limited research on the framework, experience, and effectiveness of this intervention particularly in the field of developmental and behavioural paediatrics.…”

Single session therapy (SST) has emerging evidence for facilitating meaningful therapeutic change in a small number of consults, rather than more traditional long‐term therapies. This study aimed to explore and describe the parent/caregiver and child experience with advanced allied health practitioners (AAHP) using SST for children with developmental disabilities, by understanding key characteristics of the consultation that led to therapeutic change. Eligible families attending an AAHP outpatient clinic for children with developmental and behavioural concerns participated in one to four SST consultations around their identified areas of need. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 38 parents and 12 children, from 37 different families. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interviews. Demographic information was gathered through parent interviews and by reviewing hospital records. Four key themes emerged relating to the characteristics of the consultation that led to a positive experience for families: (1) the art of mutual presence; (2) the value of time; (3) the power of understanding; and (4) the trust of action. These attributes were influenced by the overarching complexities of the AAHP, the parent's and child's interpersonal skills, and the organisational mechanisms influencing patient care. Parents and children reported clinical change during the consult through increased understanding, and being heard, valued, and respected for their individual decisions on how to manage their child's and family's needs. This study provides preliminary evidence that utilising SST for children and families with developmental and behavioural needs facilitates a positive experience valued by families. SST, with a focus on a family's individual identified areas of concern, was valued and effective when delivered by AAHP. This suggests that SST, when appropriately administered by experienced and trained health practitioners, is useful for families dealing with children with developmental and behavioural challenges.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a period-based psychological support model for athletes and to establish a system after deducing a psychological support model foreach time period. METHODS In this study, 5 psychological support practitioners were selected as research participants to explore requirements and 4 athletes were selected for the field application of the psychological support model. The requirements for developing the psychological support model were collected through in-depth interviews by the psychological support practitioners. Literature reviews and interviews were conducted to develop the psychological support model. RESULTS The period-based psychological support model consists of orientation, problem exploration, problem clarification, intervention, effect evaluation, and termination. The period of psychological support for athletes was divided into the following: A single-session psychological support, brief psychological support, and seasonal psychological support. The system of period-based psychological support model for athletes is a flow chart that applies the period-based psychological support model from the initiation till the termination of psychological support. CONCLUSIONS The phase of the psychological support model is expected to contribute to the enhancement of the effectiveness of psychological support by establishing a psychological support system for athletes.

The clear reporting of relational and technical principles, skills and processes which underpin intervention delivery in applied sport psychology is often missing, in favour of intervention content. Repeated calls have been made for what has been described as an interface between counselling psychology and sport psychology, to fill this gap (e.g., Andersen & Speed, 2010; Petitpas, Giges, & Danish, 1999; Poczwardowski, Sherman, & Henschen, 1998). More specifically, practitioners might consider immersing themselves in a counselling approach for greater understanding of the therapeutic alliance and its components, arguably the most important predictor of behaviour change in consultation with athletes (Andersen, 2006). While limited guidance exists for applying counselling methods to sport psychology (e.g., Katz & Hemmings, 2009; Murphy & Murphy, 2010), a specific counselling approach with a clear training pathway has yet to be suggested. Motivational interviewing (MI; Miller & Rollnick, 2013) is one counselling approach which contains the relational and technical active ingredients for fostering strong therapeutic alliances with athletes, and immersion in this approach could support practitioners in learning the therapeutic methods required to develop these interpersonal relationships and work from an athlete-centred perspective (Andersen, 2006; Holt & Strean, 2001). Additionally, applied sport psychologists are increasingly reaching beyond the psychological skills training and psychoeducation which have been dominant in the discipline, instead beginning to learn and apply specific psychotherapies, such as rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT: Wood, Barker, & Turner, 2017) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Shortway, Wolanin, Block-Lerner, & Marks, 2018). An integration of MI with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is becoming better understood in clinical and counselling psychologies (e.g., Geller & Dunn, 2011; Westra, Arkowitz, & Dozois, 2009), and such an integration may prove fruitful for sport psychology interventions. The purpose of this thesis was therefore to formally propose and explore MI as a valuable, efficacious counselling approach to underpin applied sport psychology practice. Three studies were undertaken in this endeavour. Study one explores the current use and understanding of MI among chartered sport and exercise psychologists in the UK. Findings indicated that certain aspects of the MI approach are being used in sport psychology consultancy, but there are gaps in the knowledge and application of the approach. Study two explores how MI is being applied in sport contexts by a global sample of practitioners who are proficient MI practitioners and trainers. Findings indicate core and auxiliary components of MI are valuable for enhancing intervention work with athletes. Study three outlines the design, implementation and evaluation of an MI for sport psychology workshop series attended by early career sport psychologists. Findings indicate increased MI adherent practice post-training, and perceived value of MI for enhancing applied practice. This thesis concludes that MI presents one counselling approach suitable for integration into sport psychology practice, with the potential to enhance relationships and interventions with athletes.
