“…Traumatic symptoms may become disconnected from their source and take on a life of their own. Schneider (1984), a noted clinical psychologist, counseled clients who were terminally ill and depressed. During a single week in his life, three of his clients died, one attempted suicide, he then witnessed a young woman killed by a train outside his office.…”

Committee Chairperson: Harold W. Stubblefield Adult Education and Human Resources (ABSTRACT)Employees who have had a traumatic life experience (TLE) and are returning to the workplace face a difficult road to recovery. The workplace as it exists today is not well equipped to handle such individuals. Managers and co-workers lack knowledge of a recovery framework to facilitate and support the survivor-employee's re-entry.This research addressed the development of a cost-free short-term adult educational intervention called Study Circles to assist both managers and co-workers in understanding the dynamics of recovery for individuals after a traumatic life experience (TLE). Herman's (1992) three stage recovery process is used as a model for the Study Circle intervention: (1) Establishing a safety net, (2) Telling the trauma story and (3) Reconnecting the individual back to the work community. As an educational intervention, this Study Circle is designed to complement any individual or psychotherapeutic intervention for TLE survivors.This research considered these questions: (1) How can Study Circles be designed and used to engage managers in a discussion of the problems of returning TLEs? (2) How can Study Each Study Circle program consisted of three sessions where participants, managers and returning TLEs, engaged in open dialogue and discussed questions pertaining to creating a "safety net", "telling the trauma story" and "reconnecting the employee to the workplace." Each session provided insights to the participants on the issues and concerns managers may have in "welcoming" a returning TLE to the workplace, along with feedback from returning TLEs on the expectations they have of managers and the organization. These sessions provided an opportunity to explore uncharted territory in the organization, that of bringing a sensitive topic to the workplace and openly talking about its effect on management and its employees.Both Study Circle groups were different. Group A was homogeneous and shared more feelings and suggested that the organization needed "guidelines to assist managers" in their task.On the other hand, group B managers did not share their stories or experiences with the group, but encouraged the organization to focus on training its managers to "communicate" better and Both groups created their own group culture engaging not only in the session's topic but other pertinent issues relative to manager/employee concerns such as acknowledging differences (each TLE will be different), communicating more openly, and recognizing performance issues when the TLE returns to the workplace.It was concluded that to appropriately welcome a returning TLE employee, managers did not need to have previous experience in dealing with a returning TLE. Their success in this depended on the individual and his/her career experience, how comfortable they felt in engaging the returning TLE, and the managers own personal experience with trauma.Although the Study Circle format has been extensively used in community meetings, church ...

“…According to Schneider (1984), some of the common denominators of trauma include intense fear, helplessness, loss of control and loss of memory. He concludes that when we are traumatized our usual problem-solving capacities can malfunction.…”

“…Ritter and Terndrup (2002) provided another model that may be useful in conceptualizing spiritual development of Mormon LGBTQ clients. Predicated on the loss model of Schneider (1984Schneider ( , 1994, the eight stages include (a) Initial Awareness: shock, disbelief; (b) Holding On: denial, bargaining; (c) Letting Go; (d) Awareness of the Loss; (e) Gaining Perspective: detachment; (f) Integrating Loss: finishing business; (g) Reformulating Loss; and (h) Transforming Loss: transcendence and integration. The first five stages are similar to the loss model of Kübler-Ross (1969).…”

“…Ritter and Terndrup (2002) demonstrated that the sixth stage of Integrating Loss allows the client to accept the hurt of losing a heterosexual identity. As cited in Ritter and Terndrup (2002), Schneider (1984Schneider ( , 1994 asserts that loss is resolved when "an active public step of integration has occurred" (p. 289). Assuming personal responsibility is a proactive step that allows a person to move the invested energy of loss to energy reinvested in other domains.…”

Peculiar and Queer: Spiritual and Emotional Salvation for the LGBTQ Mormon

Clients who are lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgendered, or queer (LBGTQ) and members or former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes referred to as the Mormon or LDS Church) face a distinctive spiritual conundrum. Often people see LDS members as having "peculiar" beliefs. These "peculiar" beliefs and the social system of the Latter-day Saints distinguish them from other forms of Christianity, and create a paradigm of conflict for those who do not fit in the mold of the Mormon doctrine. In this article the authors examine issues of spirituality and religiosity, examine the literature with regard to effective counseling for LGBTQ Mormons, and review LDS Church doctrines, extracted from seminal works of the LDS Church. These are examined to better explore the difficulties of LGBTQ people and explore the meanings of peculiar and queer and their relevance to the issues of LGBTQ Mormons. Finally the authors address how oppression relates to spirituality and orientation as well as examine the similarities of spiritual formation and sexual identity formation. Understanding these complex spiritual issues will offer a possible solution for counselors who work with this "peculiar and queer" population. As multicultural competence includes addressing issues of spirituality, clinicians will benefit from an increased understanding of the spiritual and religious dilemmas for members of the LDS Church who question a dichotomous view of sexuality.

lite article explores the proposition that loss Is a central, but neglected and taken-for-granteet, concept within occupational therapy. A reappraisal of loss was stimulated by a module entitled 'Loss and lifethreatening conditions' In the South Trent tn-Servlce Diploma Course In OCcupational Therapy. The student-negotlateet curriculum Is described. The evaluations highlighted the personal value and professional relevance of the concept of loss. These were conftrmed during a staff development workshop for 37 experienced and expert therapists at Nottingham City Hospital. A framework that combines loss, mastery, mystery and occupation Is offered as a professional model with practical Implications. Encouragement Is provided to r&evaluate and perhaps rediscover the pivotal place of loss within occupational therapy.
