Abstract: In this two-part study, we attempted to accomplish two major tasks. In Study 1, with an online sample of Christian-identifying trauma survivors (N = 257), we aimed to empirically investigate our theoretical model, anchored to the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions. This theoretical model suggests that negative affect mediates the relationship between Christian contentment and Christian gratitude and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other posttrauma symptoms. Based on this theoretical model, in Study 2, with a separate online sample of Christian-identifying trauma survivors (N = 26), we tested an original, online, 2-week program. Specifically, we examined the potential impact that a Christian meditative intervention, lectio divina (Latin for “divine reading”), has on increasing Christian contentment and Christian gratitude and decreasing PTSD and other posttrauma symptoms. Study 1 results revealed that negative affect mediated the relationship between Christian contentment (but not Christian gratitude) and PTSD and other posttrauma symptoms. Study 2 results suggested that, pre- to post-intervention, the lectio divina group (n = 13) reported a greater decrease in PTSD and other posttrauma symptoms than the loving-kindness meditation control group (n = 13). These results are discussed in the context of both the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and a growing literature on Christian-sensitive meditative alternatives to Buddhist-influenced mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation for psychological symptoms. Directions for future research and study limitations are also discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Stress in America and across the globe is high with so many ongoing societal problems. The COVID-19 global pandemic along with accelerating climate change, increasing economic instability and inequality, divisive politics and an increase in authoritarianism, racism, and discrimination against those who are oppressed and marginalized are just a few current examples. Evidence suggests that mental health problems and demand for services have exploded as well. Psychotherapists who are well versed in spiritual and religious integration in their clinical work can help. While therapists cannot solve the country’s and world’s numerous problems, they can help their clientele better cope and manage the distress that they experience though highlighting several spiritual and religiously based tools that are commonly available and supported among diverse spiritual and religious traditions. The purpose of this clinical reflection is to encourage clinicians to use five especially relevant spiritual and religious tools with their clientele that include (a) underscoring the sacredness of all; (b) learning to accept others, even with faults; (c) focusing on spiritual modeling; (d) encouraging virtues of forgiveness, kindness, gratitude, and compassion; and (e) incorporating ethics into daily decision-making. A brief explanation of each tool along with clinical case examples are presented here. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Religion and spirituality (R/S) play an important role in the lives of many. Although R/S can be a resource when coping with stress, it can also be a source of stress or trauma. We sought to review the extant empirical research on R/S abuse and trauma. Our systematic review identified 25 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The empirical findings of the studies are organized into eight sections: (a) definitions of R/S abuse and trauma, (b) prevalence of R/S abuse and trauma, (c) entering/exiting abusive religious communities, (d) the intersection of R/S abuse and trauma and domestic violence, (e) the role of the R/S community in the abuse, (f) negative outcomes associated with R/S abuse and trauma, (g) identity changes associated with R/S abuse and trauma, and (h) prevention and clinical treatment of R/S abuse and trauma. We conclude by discussing limitations of the review, areas for future research, and implications for clinical practice. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: In this two-part study, the authors developed and tested an online, 4-week, manualized program for Christians with trauma-based intrusive memories and rumination. Drawing from the Christian meditative tradition, the intervention was delivered to separate online samples of university students and community adults. Preintervention to postintervention, intent-to-treat analyses across both studies revealed that the intervention group outperformed the wait-list control group on several outcomes, including a reduction in trauma-based rumination and other trauma-related symptoms and an increase in four mental skills (i.e., attention, present focus, awareness, and acceptance). These results are discussed, as are directions for future research and study limitations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
