Emerging Practices of Counseling and Psychotherapy in China: Ethical Dilemmas in Dual Relationships

A qualitative study was conducted with 48 Chinese counselors and psychotherapists who were interviewed in 2006 and an independent sample of 50 participants who responded to a survey in 2014. This study aims to explore how the new emerging expansion of mental health practice is related to issues and challenges of dual role relationship and how the well-engrained values and social characteristics of Chinese culture influences perceptions and resolution of ethical dilemmas. The participants identified similar dual relationships in 2006 and 2014: (a) Incidental boundary crossings, a sexual or romantic relationship, a dual social relationship, and a professional dual relationship were the most frequently reported types of dual relationships encountered by Chinese practitioners, and (b) the socioeconomic and cultural context and the development trajectory of counseling and psychotherapy in China play a significant role in shaping practitioners’ behaviors. The comparison of the data in 2006 and 2014 indicated that practitioners in psychotherapy and counseling have an improved awareness and understanding of ethical issues, evidenced by the decreasing cases of romantic and sexual relationships and increasing cases of social dual relationships influenced by the interrelatedness of traditional Chinese culture.

Preliminary Evaluation of a Social Skills Training and Facilitated Play Early Intervention Programme for Extremely Shy Young Children in China

The goal of this study was to provide a preliminary evaluation of a social skills and facilitated play early intervention programme to promote social interaction, prosocial behaviours and socio‐communicative skills among young extremely shy children in China. Participants were a sample of n = 16 extremely shy young children attending kindergarten in Shanghai, China. Children were randomly assigned to either the Social Skills Facilitated Play or comparison condition. Baseline, post‐intervention and 2‐month follow‐up measures included observations of children's social behaviours in quartets of novel peers. Result indicated that as compared with shy controls, shy children who participated in the Social Skills Training Facilitated Play programme were observed to demonstrate significantly greater post‐intervention frequencies of peer interactions (e.g. group play and peer conversation) and prosocial behaviours (e.g. cooperation, sharing and making/accepting social initiations) during unstructured free play with novel peers, as well as better social‐communicative competence during a speech task. Almost all of these improvements were maintained 2 months post‐intervention. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of developing and refining early intervention programmes for extremely shy young children in China. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

PDP再认型实验程序与刺激来源的可鉴别性研究

提出应根据实验程序的不同,把加工分离模型（ＰＤＰ）进一步分为启动型和再认型两类。２个实验考察了刺激来源的可 鉴别性在ＰＤＰ的再认型实验程序中的作用,同时还考察了注意水平、刺激材料和加工水平等因素对词单１刺激项目再认成绩的影 响。结果发现：熟悉感和刺激来源的可鉴别性共同决定了被试在排除测验中的反应;汉字作刺激材料并不影响实验结果。

评执行功能的问题解决理论

对执行功能的定义存在着多种理论观点,但由于执行功能的含义广泛,该领域仍缺乏一个统一明确的定义。鉴于已有的各种理论的不足,该文着重介绍了Zelazo等人提出的研究执行功能的新思路：根据问题解决的理论框架来构建执行功能的概念,从而把执行功能的不同方面就其功能暂时整合在一个统一的框架中。根据这个问题解决的框架,执行功能是一个由问题解决的四个阶段组成的宏观概念：问题表征、计划、执行、评价。这种观点承认执行功能内在的复杂性和层次性,并引导我们深入地研究各亚功能之间的相互作用,有助于我们将该领域内各种不同的研究结果整合起来;但这种理论本身也存在值得商榷的地方,不能毫无批判地接受。

左丘脑出血与遗忘

经CT证实的左和右丘脑出血各9例,及18例无脑器质性病灶者,以临床记忆量表、临床失语检查法和视空间功能检查法进行检查。所有被检者均无失语和视空间功能障碍。记忆量表检查结果表明左丘脑出血组记忆量表的各分项值和记忆商明显低于对照组,而右侧丘脑出血组与对照组无显著差异,这提示左丘脑病变可导致和遗留长期遗忘。
