<p> This study examined the effect of clinical supervision on job satisfaction and burnout among school psychologists in large urban school districts in Florida. The theory of work adjustment, Maslach and Jackson&rsquo;s three-dimensional model of burnout, and Atkinson and Woods&rsquo;s triadic model of supervision were the theoretical foundations and/or conceptual frameworks used in this study. The two research questions that guided this study addressed the effect of the receipt of clinical supervision on job satisfaction and burnout among school psychologists in large urban school districts. The study was conducted with a convenient sample of 75 school psychologists from a target population of 330 who were primarily working as practitioners within the school districts. An online survey was created with demographic questions, the short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ-sf), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory&ndash;Educators Survey (MBI-ES). The MSQ-sf has an overall scale of job satisfaction that was computed. The MBI-ES is comprised of three subscales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The subscale total scores were calculated for each MBI-ES dimension. The Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> test revealed no statistically significant difference in job satisfaction between the two groups (<i>U</i> = 736, <i>z</i> = 1.783, <i> p</i> = .075). The MANOVA did not reflect a significant difference in burnout between the two groups, <i>F</i>(3,71) = .657, <i> p</i> = .581; Pillai&rsquo;s Trace = .027; partial &eta;² = .027. </p><p>

<p> Adolescence is marked by a period of stress with a portion of these individuals experiencing problems with anxiety. There are physical and psychological benefits of using animal-assisted therapy (AAT) for decreasing anxiety, however, the research on this is limited. The current study expands on the AAT literature by studying the additive effects of AAT along with the frontline treatment for anxiety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT only and CBT + AAT treatment groups followed a structured protocol focused on psychoeducation and practicing coping skills for anxiety using groups of 2 to 4 participants in the school setting. Single subject design and nonparametric statistics were used to analyze treatment data on measures of anxiety and therapeutic alliance from ten students ages 10 to 15 across two school districts. Although the data on measures and therapeutic alliance did not approach significance, observable trends show CBT and AAT may be beneficial in decreasing anxiety symptoms for some students. The nature of self-report data and the small number of participants were limitations of the study. Overall this study used comparison groups to show that therapy dogs are not a hindrance to therapy and may be beneficial for some students.</p><p>

The service role and functions of school counseling and school psychology have been discussed extensively for several decades. The literature from each professional discipline is replete with calls to expand the training and service capacity of these school professionals. Simultaneously calls are made for even broader educational reform as it specifically relates to student pupil services. From within this context an integrated school counseling and school psychology program known as the School Counseling Psychology Program was organized and administered at Brigham Young University. This qualitative dissertation study highlights the perceived strengths and limitations of this integrated training program. The impact of integrated services and collaboration among student service professionals is highlighted from a regional perspective that reaffirms the value of grassroots level research. Lastly, the conceptual barriers and recommendations of administering an integrated school counseling and school psychology training program are presented and discussed.

The present study is guided by the following question: what strategies can the psychologist use at school to contribute to the reflection of young people about future, work, and profession? We sought to investigate the potential of actions from psychologists in school that promote reflections about work and future. This intervention research was developed with students from the first year of high-school in a public state school, located on the outskirts of a large city in the interior of S?o Paulo. We organized weekly meetings that involved the appreciation and production of different artistic material, such as: films, photographs, paintings, drawings, and others; and, workshops with professionals who worked in areas chosen by students. The results reveal that the interaction among the psychologist, the teacher, and the adolescents, reflecting on the daily relations present in the public school space, impact on the constitution of the interest and participation of students in their activities. The conception of work for the youngsters of this research was directly associated with a pragmatic vision, which undermines the individual effort to the detriment of the collective. Therefore, we conclude that interest in not acquired but develops in interactions mediated by elements such as curiosity, approximation, availability, respect, implication, and recognition. The use of artistic expressions has proved to be a powerful instrument of action for the psychologist, capable of producing reflections that result in the expansion of consciousness. / Ao assumir a Psicologia Hist?rico-Cultural como base te?rico-metodol?gica, compreendemos que a orienta??o profissional ? um processo de promo??o de desenvolvimento e n?o um fim, enquanto lugar a se chegar. Com essa compreens?o, o presente estudo norteia-se pela seguinte pergunta: que estrat?gias o psic?logo pode utilizar na escola para contribuir com a reflex?o dos jovens sobre futuro, trabalho e profiss?o? Assim, buscou-se investigar o potencial de a??es do psic?logo na escola que se constituem como promotoras de reflex?es sobre o mundo do trabalho e o futuro. Esta pesquisa-interven??o foi desenvolvida com estudantes do 1? ano do ensino m?dio de uma escola p?blica estadual, localizada na periferia de uma grande cidade no interior de S?o Paulo. Foram realizados encontros semanais que envolveram a aprecia??o e a produ??o de diferentes materialidades art?sticas, a saber: filmes, fotografias, pinturas, m?sicas e desenhos; al?m de oficinas com profissionais que atuam em ?reas de interesse dos estudantes. Os resultados revelam que as intera??es entre o psic?logo, a professora e os adolescentes, refletindo sobre as rela??es cotidianas presentes no espa?o da escola p?blica, impactam na constitui??o do interesse e da participa??o dos alunos em suas atividades. A concep??o de trabalho, para os jovens dessa pesquisa, esteve diretamente associada a uma vis?o pragm?tica, sobressaltando o esfor?o individual em detrimento do coletivo. Portanto, conclu?mos que o interesse n?o ? adquirido, mas se desenvolve nas intera??es mediadas por elementos como a curiosidade, aproxima??o, disponibilidade, respeito, implica??o e reconhecimento. O uso de diferentes express?es art?sticas mostrou-se como potente instrumento de a??o do psic?logo, capaz de produzir reflex?es que resultam na amplia??o da consci?ncia.
