(Example: "Draft version 1.3, 1/5/16. This paper has not been peer reviewed. Please do not copy or cite without author's permission.") Authors of articles published in APA journals -the authoritative document, i.e., peer reviewed publication of record -may post a prepublication copy of the final manuscript, as accepted for publication as a word processing file, on their personal website, their employer's server, in their institution's repository, reference managers (e.g., Mendeley) and author social networks (e.g., Academia.edu and ResearchGate) after it is accepted for publication.The following conditions would prevail: The posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must carry an APA copyright notice and include a link to the authoritative document on the APA website using the article's digital object identifier (DOI) that may be found on the first page of the published article, in the upper right-hand corner.  Further, the posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must include the following statement: "This article may not exactly replicate the authoritative document published in the APA journal. It is not the copy of record."  APA does not provide electronic copies of the authoritative document for authors to post online, and authors are not permitted to scan in the APA typeset version of the published article.  Authors are not permitted to download and subsequently post the APA typeset version of the published article (i.e., the authoritative document of record).

AbstractThis qualitative study investigated the experiences of eight counselors as they introduce multiple intelligences theory and activities into therapy with adult clients. As research on the application of multiple intelligences in the field of education has revealed many positive psychological benefits, this study explores possible therapeutic benefits from incorporating multiple intelligences within therapy.

The major themes that emerged included perceptions of enhanced therapeutic alliances, more effective professional work, experiences of increased confidence, positive client response to a strength-based approach, positive client responses to a multiple intelligences preference survey, and positive outcomes from the use of music. Implications include the value of further long-term research on the benefits of using a multiple intelligence approach to therapy as an integrating meta-theory, and instructing coun...

Multiple Intelligences, Chronic Relative Underperformance Risk and the Perception of the Organizational Creative Environment: Exploratory Correlational Study at Single Employer in the Netherlands

“…Multiple intelligences theory has been used within organizational sciences and applied to the workplace (Gale, 2013;Green et al, 2005;Hoffman & Frost, 2006;Lane, 2009;Martin, 2003;Noruzi & Rahimi, 2010;Vincent et al, 2002) and has found its way to counselling (Booth & O'Brien, 2008;Pearson et al, 2015;Shearer & Luzzo, 2009) and therapy (Pearson, 2011). The interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence aligns to concepts such as emotional intelligence, or personal intelligence (Mayer et al, 2018;Park & Park, 1997), and even mentalization (Fonagy et al, 2004) has overlap with these two intelligences.…”
