There has been a dramatic increase in the number of women relative to men who are pursuing and obtaining doctoral degrees in clinical psychology. How will this feminization impact the field of psychotherapy (A. Howard, 1987)? Many possible sequelae are addressed in this chapter. The authors first review the demographic changes pertaining to this influx of females, and explore the implications for the field of psychotherapy. The authors' central question is "Will women run things differently than men have in the past?" The authors' answer, in brief, is "Yes." The authors base their detailed predictions on assumptions that women have predisposing characteristics that differ from those of men. In turn, these "feminine" characteristics should influence psychotherapy research, teaching, and practice. The authors' thesis is that the female clinical psychologists will influence the living history of psychotherapy as it moves into the 21st century.

Examines the cultural context of hope in the US. It is critical to understand hope in a cultural context and to ensure that all people are eligible to play the hope game: developing meaningful goals, perceiving oneself as capable of establishing pathways, and summoning mental energy all while navigating barriers in a social context. The influence of acculturation, language, prejudice, stereotyping, economics, and environment are detailed. The empirical issues of the diversity of hope involve the cross-cultural applicability of hope theory and hope measurement. Several hope scales, and research examining hope in cross-cultural settings are detailed. Brief historical accounts reveal how cultural groups transmit hope, and how all groups possess a core strength. Statements about the hope levels of minority groups are limited because the cross-cultural applicability of hope theory has not been empirically examined.

By one count (T. B. Karasu, 1986), there are at least 400 distinct approaches to psychotherapy. By the turn of the millennium, this number will swell to over 500 (Snyder et al, 1999). Amidst all of these purportedly differing approaches, what can be discerned about possible shared frameworks that can bridge this multitude of psychotherapy techniques? This is the core question that the authors seek to answer in this chapter. Topics include: so many psychotherapies, so few common processes; carrying the torch of hope lit by J. Frank; a new theory of hope (goals, pathways thoughts, agency thoughts, necessity of both agency and pathways thoughts, hope cognitions and emotions); what does higher hope in this model tell us about people (hope scales, correlates of hope); agency thoughts and psychological change; pathways thoughts and psychological change (admitting need for professional help and setting the initial appointment, prefatory programs enhancing clients' belief in psychotherapy, teaching alternate pathways, teaching mental rehearsals, stepping, pathways effects beyond agentic placebo effects, group study of pathways vs agency training); agency and pathways ripples; psychotherapies into the 21st century: a hopeful agenda.

The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology studies the burgeoning field of positive psychology, which, in recent years, has transcended academia to capture the imagination of the general public. The book provides a roadmap for the psychology needed by the majority of the population-those who don't need treatment, but want to achieve the lives to which they aspire. The articles summarize all of the relevant literature in the field, and each is essentially defining a lifetime of research. The content's breadth and depth provide a cross-disciplinary look at positive psychology from diverse fields and all branches of psychology, including social, clinical, personality, counseling, school, and developmental psychology. Topics include not only happiness-which has been perhaps misrepresented in the popular media as the entirety of the field-but also hope, strengths, positive emotions, life longings, creativity, emotional creativity, courage, and more, plus guidelines for applying what has worked for people across time and cultures.

... consistency vs. adaptability). A promising model of strengths and healthy psychological growth has been proposed by Snyder and Lopez (2004) to explain how the concepts of strengths, healthy processes and fulfilments interplay to promote the 'good life'. According to the model, each individual possesses a unique set of strengths which serve the achievement of optimal mental health and personal fulfilment. ...

... Positive psychology focuses on both individual and larger systemic factors that affect resilience, flourishing, and positive emotional growth (Gallagher, et al., 2019;Gillham et al., 2011;Krentzman, 2013;Peterson & Seligman, 2004;Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). It provides some clues as to the overarching themes of life story narratives that may alleviate the suffering of moral injury and allow for growth. ...

... As such, security as measured by the ECR likely represents more of a "neutral point" in terms of attachment behaviour, rather than capturing the positive content associated with this attachment style . Lopez et al. (2019) argued that "the assessment of strengths is a neglected competency in psychology," an assertion which is realized in the adult attachment literature to some degree. Unlike the interview-based assessment methods, Ravitz et al. (2010) highlighted that numerous self-report measures do not specifically measure secure attachment. ...

... Although the pattern of these findings underscores the utility of psychological adjustment models of African Americans that include an examination of racial discrimination and social support (Adams et al. 2003;Neighbors et al. 2012), it remains unclear if an examination of hope might add further explanatory power to our balanced understanding of both negative and positive psychological adjustment in African American adults. As some researchers have previously argued, understanding what accounts for negative psychological adjustment does not necessarily implicate what accounts for positive psychological adjustment (Wong 2011). ...

... This ability to envision different paths is called "pathways thinking" or "waypower" (Snyder, 2000). People with high hope are especially good at thinking of alternative routes when they encounter obstacles (Edwards et al., 2006;Snyder, 2000). The motivation to actually follow these paths is called "agency thinking" or "willpower" (Yang, Zhang, & Kou, 2016). ...

... 1) Positive psychology (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000) emphasises the promotion of development by tapping into individual potential and positive psychological resources (e.g., psychological capital), which provides theoretical support for this study in revealing the pathways through which parental expectations are positively transmitted (Seligman Sood Chung , Zhao Yukun,2012) . For example, self-efficacy (Seligman, M. E. P. ,2002) and resilience (Snyder, C. R., & Lopez, S. J.,2002)in psychological capital can explain how adolescents transform external expectations into internal motivation. ...

... People with higher hopes have more goals to achieve, select challenging goals and achieve these goals . Hopeful thinking reflects the belief that the individual can find ways to the goal and take action to use these paths (Snyder et al., 2002). Although there are some similarities between dispositional hope (dispositional hope) and self-efficacy beliefs, these are distinct structures (Snyder, 1995). ...

... Both cognitive and affective hopes are goal-directed (Feldman and Jazaieri 2024) and future-focused (Feldman et al. 2022). Additionally, researchers consider affective hope as an aftereffect or byproduct of cognitive hope (Lopez, Snyder, and Pedrotti 2003;Snyder 1995Snyder , 2002. Empirical evidence has revealed a moderate to high positive association between them (Feldman and Jazaieri 2024;Staats 1989), suggesting that they are closely accompanied with each other. ...

... As an individual's psychological and physical resources are overwhelmed, negative symptoms emerge, such as depression, memory loss, poor attention, and anger. Sustained stress leads to cynicism, inefficiency, and exhaustion [4,5]. It is notable that teachers, in particular, under normal conditions experience high levels of stress due to changing and increasing job demands related to class loads, high-need students, and institutional policies and regulations, amongst other factors [2,6]. ...

... Forgiveness, for example, is a theme that transcends religious boundaries, often being addressed in psychological terms as a means of addressing anger and other negative emotions, ultimately contributing to improved mental health benefits (Kim et al., 2022). Similarly, hope -both immanent and transcendent -may be a universal concept that all therapists encourage, whether or not it is framed in spiritual terms (Dembo & Clemens, 2013), as hope is considered one important common factor contributing to patient progress across therapeutic orientations (Elkins, 2022;Mulder et al., 2017;Snyder et al., 1999). ...
