Criteria for therapist self-disclosure.

Experienced clinicians were interviewed to explore the criteria utilized in intentional therapist self-disclosure. Three themes emerged: the psychotherapy relationship, therapist self-awareness, and most significant, theoretical orientation. Five categories of criteria were identified: modeling, fostering the therapeutic alliance, validating reality, encouraging the patient's autonomy, and the therapist's satisfaction.

Development of self-concept in Afro-American children.

Studies of self-concept in Afro-American children differ in their findings according to whether the research was conducted before or after the civil rights movement of the 1960s. While the earlier studies reported that the Afro-Americans had lower self-esteem than Caucasians, studies conducted after the height of the civil rights movement do not support that finding. The development of self-concept in Afro-American children is influenced by the strengths and weaknesses of the family, extended family, or community; individual perceptions of untoward events or environments; and the ability to devise mechanisms to ward off threats to self-esteem. The author stresses that those who study self-esteem among Afro-Americans should examine developmental processes within the individual's social context and reference groups rather than from the perspective of the dominant group.

A consumer-operated case management project.

The idea that patients and former patients might themselves be involved in service delivery has become increasingly popular in recent years. Once viewed as an expression of patient protest without clinical merit, self-help services are now, at least in some places, accepted and endorsed by mental health planning authorities. This month's guest columnists describe the philosophical underpinnings of a state-funded consumer-operated case management program in Oregon and discuss both the hope and some of the potential difficulties that such an experimental effort may generate.

Imitation of nonwords by deaf children after cochlear implantation: preliminary findings.

Fourteen prelingually deafened pediatric users of the Nucleus-22 cochlear implant were asked to imitate auditorily presented nonwords. The children's utterances were recorded, digitized, and broadly transcribed. The target patterns and the children's imitations were then played back to normal-hearing adult listeners in order to obtain perceptual judgments of repetition accuracy. The results revealed wide variability in the children's ability to repeat the novel sound sequences. Individual differences in the component processes of encoding, memory, and speech production were strongly reflected in the nonword repetition scores. Duration of deafness before implantation also appeared to be a factor associated with imitation performance. Linguistic analyses of the initial consonants in the nonwords revealed that coronal stops were imitated best, followed by the coronal fricative /s/, and then the labial and velar stops. Labial fricatives were poorly imitated. The theoretical significance of the nonword repetition task as it has been used in past studies of working memory and vocabulary development in normal-hearing children is discussed.
