Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Counselling psychology deals with the promotion of the normal functioning of individuals, groups and organizations, on a personal and interpersonal level, but also across the whole life span, in terms of prevention, education and intervention. With an emphasis on both the individual and the social context in which the individual exists, develops and interacts, counsellors need to have multicultural competence, and recognize and respect intra-group differences, in order to support individuals and groups based on the specific needs and circumstances of their environment. Counselling psychology can be applied in a multitude of contexts, such as in dealing with psychological disorders and promoting well-being, in family life, in relationships and marriage, in school and university, in career guidance and work, in sports settings and health issues, but also in specific issues and needs such as in refugee populations, disability, cases of domestic violence and in relation to LGBT+ community issues.

This Special Issue aims at providing new knowledge on the applications and interventions of counselling psychology in different settings and populations, to inform about new, innovative developments and practices, as well as relevant implications and concerns in today's demanding era, with its challenges.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) results in various functioning impairments in children’s lives and families. Parents of children with ADHD report high levels of parenting stress, low levels of parental self-efficacy, and use of more authoritarian and/or permissive parenting practices than parents of typically developing children. Intervention programs need to address both children’s and parents’ needs and multimodal intervention programs could cover this demand. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of “Child ViReal Support Program”—a multi-level evidence-based comprehensive program—on parenting stress, parental self-efficacy, parenting practices, and the core symptoms of children’s ADHD. Families with a child diagnosed with ADHD (n = 16) were randomly allocated to two groups (PC and CP; P = parent training, C = child training), and a cross-over design was utilized. Participating parents completed, in four different times during the study, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire-Short Version, and the parent form of the ADHD Rating Scale-IV. Parents from both groups, after their participation in the parent training, demonstrated reduced parenting stress, enhanced parental self-efficacy, and increased the employ of democratic parenting practices. More than that, they reported decreased levels of inattention and impulsivity/hyperactivity for their children. Evidence-based multi-level intervention programs could produce positive effects on parents and children by incorporating effective methods and tools in accordance with the needs and the demands of the family context.
