“…Although there were more female counseling students in this sample, the sample was chosen from one university in the Southeastern U.S., which could account for these students having no more egalitarian gender role attitudes than the general public. Trepal, Wester, and Shuler (2008) found similar results in a Q-Methodology study of counselors' perceptions of gendered behavior. Men and women were found to be conceptualized as opposites throughout the study and the roles of males and females were seen as traditional in nature.…”

“…Men and women were found to be conceptualized as opposites throughout the study and the roles of males and females were seen as traditional in nature. The authors also cited previous research suggesting that counselors are more likely to find their clients behaviors as pathological or directed to fit into prescribed gender roles when they do not fit those stereotypical perceptions (Robertson & Fitzgerald, 1990;Trepal et al, 2008).…”

“…When it comes to variables of interest in examining counselors' perceptions of, and work with, women who have experienced IPV, unique considerations must be taken into account. Although counselor training programs make a considerable effort to incorporate such information into training, there seems to be substantial variability in helpers', lay-persons', and practitioners' attitudes based on factors such as gender, theoretical orientation (Jackson et al, 2001), age (McChrystal, 1994, gender role orientation (Gold & Hawley, 2001), personal history of violence (including both physical and sexual child abuse and violence in past or current relationships; Cappell & Heiner, 1990;Coleman & Stith, 1997;King & Ryan, 1989), and client factors such as history of abuse, severity of violence (Wandrei & Rupert, 2000), gender (Trepal et al, 2008;Vogel et al, 2003), sexual orientation (Barrett & McWhirter, 2002;Wisch & Mahalik, 1999), age (Foshee & Linder, 1997), comorbidity with substance abuse (Harrison & Esqueda, 2000), and race (Fisher, Matthews, Robinson Kurpius, & Burke, 2001;Harrison & Esqueda, 2000). When working with women who are currently or have experienced battering, it is also important to consider counselorclient relationship factors as well.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a social problem that affects roughly 5.3 million women in the U.S. each year, accounts for 1,300 deaths, and often results in a number of physical and mental health consequences. Many women seek counseling as a way to find relief from the symptoms of the abuse they have endured.Unfortunately, women often find the available resources to be inadequate or worse, damaging. Misdiagnosis, non-violent re-victimization, and even blame are

“…Dolayısıyla psikolojik danışma sürecinde psikolojik danışmanın toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı kalıp yargılarının ve rol beklentilerinin etkilerinin tüm yönleriyle farkında olması danışana yardımcı olma ihtimalini arttırmaktadır (Arıcı, 2013). Özellikle çiftlerle ve ailelerle etkili çalışabilmek için de psikolojik danışmanların toplumsal cinsiyet rol kalıplarına ve olası önyargılara değinmesi önerilmektedir (Trepal, Wester & Shuler, 2008). Bu doğrultuda psikolojik danışmanlar, cinsiyet rollerine dayalı kalıp yargıları, rol beklentilerini ve bunların bireylerdeki etkilerini kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alabilmelidir.…”

Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri; sağlık, ekonomi, siyaset ve eğitim gibi pek çok alanda araştırmalara konu olmaktadır. Söz konusu araştırmalar iki cinsin toplumsal alanda temsiliyetlerinin farklılığını ve eşitsizliğini ortaya koymakta, bu farklılığı ve eşitsizliği oluşturan ve yeniden üretilmesine neden olan boyutları ele almaktadır. Bu araştırmada ise ruh sağlığı çalışanı olarak psikolojik danışmanların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin farkındalık kazanmasının, cinsiyet rollerine duyarlı bakış açısına sahip olmasının önemi vurgulanarak, "Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Duyarlılığı" grup rehberliği programının, psikolojik danışman adaylarının toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin eşitlikçi tutumlarına etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, 30 psikolojik danışman adayı deney, kontrol ve plasebo grubu olarak 3 grup halinde araştırmaya katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerine İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Altı hafta süren Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Duyarlılığı grup rehberliği programının sonunda, programa katılan psikolojik danışman adaylarının toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin eşitlikçi tutum son test puanlarının programa katılmayanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde arttığı görülmüştür. Yapılan izleme ölçümü ise deney grubundaki puan artışının izleme ölçümlerinde düştüğünü ancak yine de grubun ön test sonuçlarından yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmanın bu bulguları ışığında, psikolojik danışmanlara da toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine duyarlılığı kazandırılmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri, Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitliği, Psikolojik Danışman, Psikolojik Danışman Adayı, Toplumsal Cinsiyet. AbstractGender roles; are the subject of research in many fields as health service, economics, politics and education. These studies reveal the disparities and inequalities of representation of the two genders in the social sphere, and discuss the dimensions that make up this disparity and inequality and cause them to be reproduced. In this study, with emphasis on the importance of gaining awareness of the gender roles and having a gender-sensitive perspective of counselors as a mental health employee, the "Gender Roles Sensitivity" group guidance program's effect to egalitarian attitudes toward gender roles of counselor candidate has been studied. For this purpose, 30 counselors candidate participated in 3 groups as experimental, control and placebo groups. Gender Roles Attitude Scale was used as data collection tool in the study. At the end of the six-week Gender Role Sensitivity group guidance program, it was seen that counselors candidates' post-test scores participating in the group guidance program increased significantly compared to those who did not participate in the program. The follow-up measurement showed that the increase in points in the experimental group fell in the follow-up measurements but is still higher than the pre-test results of the group. Lastly, suggestions were made for the counselors to gain sensitivity to gender roles in the lig...

“…Q-Methodology therefore allows the researcher to study the responses of participants to a particular stimulus and develop an explanation for why participants responded in the manner they did (Watts & Stenner, 2012). Q-Methodology has a successful track-record in psychological inquiry, including studies of counsellors' perception of gender norms (Trepal, Wester & Shuler, 2008), professional and family caregivers' beliefs and perceptions of sex education for the mentally disabled (Brown & Pirtle, 2008), how women view the use of female body types in advertising (Gustafson, Hanley & Popovich, 2008), young adults' views towards healthy lifestyles after receiving a renal graft transplant (Tielen, van Staa, Jedeloo, van Exel & Weimar, 2008), the therapeutic factors of group counselling (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) and how expert psychotherapists view effective treatment for narcissism (Kealy, Goodman, Rasmussen, Weideman & Ogrodniczuk, 2015). Therefore, Q-Methodology was an ideal strategy to create a context for eliciting and analysing clinical decision-making.…”

Background Clinical decision‐making and intuition are important concepts to counsellors. However, our understanding of clinical decision‐making and intuition, that is the process whereby clinicians make sound therapeutic judgements, is not well understood and thus is an underrepresented area of research in counselling. Aim The purpose of this study was to better understand the development of clinical decision‐making and intuition and how it is utilised during therapeutic encounters. Methodology This study used Q‐Methodology to explore the responses of 44 experienced clinicians to a set of standardised clinical scenarios. Findings The results suggested that experienced clinicians clustered into a single, common‐factor response, which the researchers assert is the factor of intuition. Implications The implications from the study's findings include that (a) the study's methodology shows promise for developing more advanced research designs that measure the influence of clinical decision‐making and intuition on client outcomes and (b) the resulting single common factor suggests that experienced clinicians eventually transcend the confines of any single theoretical perspective.
