“…The aim of the study was to develop competencies that emphasize knowledge, skills, attitudes, and activities that would provide the foundations for a training guideline in CBPR for the counseling profession. A growing number of counseling researchers highlight researcher and community collaboration (Bryan, 2009;Guiffrida et al, 2011;Wester & Borders, 2014); however, comprehensive training guidelines that outline the competencies required to foster such partnerships do not exist in the counseling literature. We argue that by providing access to this emerging approach to building researcher-community partnerships within the community (particularly practitioners), the clients/ communities' well-being will be enhanced.…”

A gap exists in the counseling profession between research and practice. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one approach that could reduce this gap. The CBPR framework can serve as an additional tool for translating research findings into practical interventions for communities and counseling practitioners. Stronger community partnerships between researchers and practitioners will further improve treatment for our clients. The purpose of this study was to develop competencies that would provide the foundations for a training guideline in CBPR. Using the Delphi method, an expert panel achieved consensus on 153 competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes, activities). Competencies are significant for the profession because they establish best practice, guidelines of service, and professional training.

“…Action research is commonly used by teachers, administrators, and educational researchers to improve and evaluate programs in school settings (O'Brien, ). It also is useful for practitioners who want to research problems that they see in community and school settings (Guiffrida, Douthit, Lynch, & Mackie, ; Rowell, ).…”

Maternal substance abuse is a risk factor for child maltreatment, child attachment insecurity, and maladaptive social information processing. The aim of this study was to conduct a quantitative exploratory evaluation of the effectiveness of an attachment‐based parent program, Circle of Security‐Parenting (COS‐P; G. Cooper, K. Hoffman, & B. Powell, 2009), with a community sample of 15 mothers in residential treatment for substance abuse. Participants attended nine weekly group sessions and were given three measures at pretest and posttest: the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (J.J. Gross & O.P. John, 2003), the Parent Attribution Test (D. Bugental, ), and the Parenting Scale (D.S. Arnold, S.G. O'Leary, L.S. Wolff, & M.M. Acker, 1993). The results indicate that mothers who attended the majority of group sessions showed greater improvements on all three variables. Participants who attended some of the sessions showed some improvements on the measures, but participants who did not attend the group sessions had no improvements, and on some measures, declined significantly. Further analyses of demographic data indicates that participants with more education, no personal history of child maltreatment, less time in the residential program, and lower social desirability scores demonstrated more positive outcomes. These findings suggest that the COS‐P may positively impact parental risk factors associated with child maltreatment and maladaptive social information processing in the context of residential substance‐abuse treatment.

“…Given the paucity of research regarding the use of competitive games in counselor education generally, and diagnosis courses specifically, the evaluation of Psych-Out was exploratory in nature and sought to answer three overarching questions, as outlined by Lambert, Masters, and Ogles (1991) and recommended by Guiffrida, Douthit, Lynch, and Mackie (2011): whether the game was effective; if so, what aspects contributed to its effectiveness; and how its effectiveness can be enhanced.…”

Psych-Out is a team-based game designed to motivate graduate counseling students to study diagnostic symptoms and related interventions associated with reading assignments. At least 83% of students agreed or strongly agreed that the game contributed to their enjoyment of the class, increased their motivation to study for class, and contributed to their learning of the course content. Four themes (learning, preparation, team, and suggestions) emerged from student evaluations of the game and reflected positive results.
