We used topic modeling to identify topics discussed in psychotherapy sessions and explored (a) which topics best identified clients' functioning and alliance ruptures and (b) whether changes in these topics were associated with changes in outcome. Transcripts of 873 sessions from 58 clients treated by 52 therapists were analyzed. Before each session, clients self-reported functioning and symptom level. After each session, therapists reported the extent of alliance rupture. Latent Dirichlet allocation was used to extract latent topics from psychotherapy textual data. Then a sparse multinomial logistic regression model was used to predict which topics best identified clients' functioning levels and the occurrence of alliance ruptures in psychotherapy sessions. Finally, we used multilevel growth models to explore the associations between changes in topics and changes in outcome. Session-based processing yielded a list of semantic topics. The model identified the labels above chance (65% to 75% accuracy). Change trajectories in topics were associated with change trajectories in outcome. The results suggest that topic models can exploit rich linguistic data within sessions to identify psychotherapy process and outcomes.

Research on cultural opportunities provides evidence that clients desire cultural conversations. However, no study to date has examined what cultural opportunities sound like in therapy and how therapists and clients utilize these opportunities. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which cultural conversations emerge during the first psychotherapy session and how clients and therapists engage in these cultural conversations. Psychotherapy sessions from diverse therapist-client pairings at a university counseling center (n = 22) were analyzed using (reflexive) thematic analysis. Qualitative findings revealed 4 themes around how cultural opportunities emerge (e.g., windowpane of feeling) and 3 themes in how they are responded to (e.g., look out the same window using client's language to explore culture). Implications for therapist training and supervision are discussed.

Qualitatively, we sought to understand the experience of disclosing suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) to clinicians and applied the disclosure processes model (Chaudoir & Fisher, 2010) to frame our findings. Participants (N = 68) responded to an anonymous, open-ended survey about their experience of disclosing or withholding recent STBs in therapy. Half of our sample (n = 34) withheld their STBs from their psychotherapist, whereas the other half (n = 34) disclosed. We coded primary themes of the disclosure process and framed these processes using the disclosure processes model framework. Motivations for nondisclosure primarily included fear of negative outcomes, particularly involuntary hospitalization. Motivations for disclosure included help-seeking intentions to address STBs and a positive therapist-client relationship. Clients' perceptions of psychotherapists' responses to the disclosure were described as supportive, the level of care was adjusted, or a lack of appropriate care was displayed. The findings of this study reveal common motivations for disclosing or withholding STBs and how psychotherapist responses to disclosures impact clients. Implications for promoting STBs disclosure in psychotherapy and responses to clients are included.

However, research on the antecedents, consequences, and buffers of work loneliness is scarce. Integrating research on need for belonging, regulatory loop models of loneliness, and self-compassion, the current study addresses this critical issue by developing and testing a conceptual model that highlights how COVID-related stressors frustrate employees' need for belonging (i.e., telecommuting frequency, job insecurity, and a lack of COVID-related informational justice), negatively impacting worker well-being (i.e., depression) and helping behaviors [i.e., organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)] through work loneliness. RAAS inhibitor Furthermore, we examine the buffering role of self-compassion in this process. Results from a weekly diary study of U.S. employees conducted over 2 months during the initial stage of the pandemic provide support for the mediating role of work loneliness in relations between all three proposed antecedents and both outcomes. In addition, self-compassion mitigated the positive within-person relationship between work loneliness and employee depression, indicating that more self-compassionate employees were better able to cope with their feelings of work loneliness. Although self-compassion also moderated the within-person relationship between work loneliness and OCB, this interaction was different in form from our prediction. Implications for enhancing employee well-being and helping behaviors during and beyond the pandemic are discussed.

Specifically, we propose relationships between conflict-sensitive personality traits (social dominance orientation and hostile attributional style) and CWB, moderated by organizational stressors (interpersonal conflict and organizational constraints) as trait-relevant situational cues that signal competition. A sample of 208 matched employee-supervisor dyads was recruited from an online panel for a multiphasic study. As expected, the relationships between personality traits and supervisor-reported CWB were stronger when stressors were high compared to low, even when controlling for negative affectivity. Thus, as guided by TAT, we suggest that workplaces should minimize cues that activate CWB or attempt to use cues that constrain these behaviors, particularly when considering employees with higher levels of social dominance orientation or hostile attributional style.RAAS inhibitor
