Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Diagnostic Reconceptualization for Female Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse

Journal of Counseling: Research and Practice (The Official Journal of The MIssissippi Counseling Association

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) may have effects that persist into adulthood and result in a variety of emotional disorders. Although members of both sexes may endure CSA and experience resultant posttraumatic stress in their lifetimes, this manuscript will focus on a framework addressing CSA reactions and outcomes as they relate to girls and women. Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), a specialized subset of PTSD, has been proposed as a distinct disorder that conceptualizes the compounded effects of Axis I and II disorders. The purpose of this article is to explore how C-PTSD more accurately reflects the counseling concerns of female CSA survivors and emphasizes the need for more thorough assessment of CSA history.

Utilization of Parallelisms with Novice Supervisees

NCCA Journal “NC Perspectives”

Parallel process is a well-accepted yet ill-defined phenomenon that occurs during supervision. While there are many forms of parallelism, supervisors are reticent in exploring the process in the early stages of supervisee development. This paper briefly reviews the various types of parallel processes and the supervision models that incorporate parallelisms as interventions. A case example is provided to help counseling professionals understand the various forms of parallelism associated with novice stages of supervisee and supervisor development. The paper concludes with a proposed combination of models to address parallelisms with novice supervisees.
