- Dr. Anne Carolyn Erlebach: "Dr. Erlebach studied immigrants who are doing well with integration into Canadian society. Previous achievements, personality, home culture, positive regard by Canadians and connecting with other immigrants were factors in their success. She concluded that helping immigrants to explore these factors, not just focus on problems, will help them adapt." (November 2011)
- Dr. Asa Sophia Maglio: "Dr. Maglio investigated whether a mindfulness-based group therapy for university students helped those with self-reported anxiety. It was found that this group therapy needed improvement to meet its clinical goals. The findings, however, also identified which changes could be made to this group therapy to enhance its effectiveness." (November 2011)
- Dr. Carey Penner: "Dr. Penner examined the counselling process of young adult clients and professional counsellors. His research described how clients' self-efficacy beliefs, defined as perceptions of the clients' capabilities, were constructed within their communicative exchanges. His research generated valuable knowledge for practitioners and offers an innovative methodological example for future self-efficacy research." (November 2011)
- Dr. Kasim Mohammed Al-Mashat: "Dr. Al-Mashat examined the narratives of Iraqi refugees and exiles who experienced war in Iraq and migrated to Jordan. He investigated the cultural meaning they made of their experiences and how that helped them cope and adapt. He discovered three themes amongst all narratives: the role of religious beliefs and linguistic expressions, a desire to make a contribution, and a strong attachment to the Iraqi identity." (November 2011)
- Dr. Derrick Klaassen: "Dr. Klaassen investigated how bereaved parents of faith grieved for their deceased children. He found that parents grieved jointly, and that their joint grieving impacted their relationships with each other, the Divine and their deceased child. These findings have implications for grieving theories and grief counselling." (May 2011)
