Kim, S., & Cardemil, E. (2012). Effective psychotherapy with low-income clients: The importance of attending to social class. Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, 42(1), 27-35. Web.
The study aims at highlighting the importance of an effective approach to psychotherapy when working with low-income clients. In addition, changes in the United States demographics require that practicing psychologists acknowledge the importance of class and culture in therapy. Kim and Cardemil based the research on their experience with depression prevention programs designed for low-income mothers of Hispanic origins. Their Family Coping Skills Program incorporates the patient’s social class and focuses on prevention rather than treatment. The article provides several recommendations, such as community psychology incorporation, as well as open acknowledgment of differences between therapists and clients. Kim and Cardemil state that modern psychotherapy must alleviate social barriers and become more comprehensive in respect to issues of different classes and backgrounds.
The article discusses a topical issue of inclusive psychotherapy and provides an array of instruments, which can be used to respond to the clients’ needs. It is vital to consider an individual’s background, which includes both culture and social class when designing the treatment program. Kim and Cardemil make a valuable reference to modern demographics as an attempt to draw the community’s attention to the importance of comprehensive psychotherapy. The provided list of possible ways of managing differences may serve as a valuable reference for therapists.
From a counselor’s point of view, this study provides valuable insight regarding difference managing and inclusiveness.
Cook, J.A., & Mueser, K.T. (2016). Is recovery possible outside the financial mainstream? Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, 39(4), 295-298. Web.
Cook and Mueser examine the connection between poor mental health and unfortunate financial situation. The research states that poverty can both cause and be a consequence of mental issues. This article refers to a Swedish study, in which participants with poor mental health received financial support every month and demonstrated reduced levels of anxiety and depression. At the same time, the second group did not receive any financial support and showed no improvement in their condition. Cook and Mueser cite the original study’s authors saying that additional sums allowed people to partake in a broader range of social interactions, thus improving some aspects of their mental health. This article suggests several steps to improve the public’s overall mental health by ensuring access to housing, education, and healthcare.

the recommendations of the Bell Mission. Under
this agreement, The United States would provide
funds ought to reform its tax structure, enact a
minimum wage law for agricultural and
industrial labor, initiate social and land reforms,
as well as a sound planning for economic
development
REHABILITATION
When he took over as president in 1948, the
economy was on course for a rapid recovery,
helped along by continuing large US (military)
expenditure at the end of the war and by US
rehabilitation assistance in the form of war
damage payments.
America’s version of Marshall plan was the
Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1947. This law is
to finance the restoration of destroyed public
infrastructure facilities and to award war
damage payments for the rehabilitation of
properties and businesses destroyed.
War damage payments helped to speed up the
rehabilitation of the economy.
The beginnings of macroeconomic imbalances
happened during Quirino’s time. Tax revenues and
other government receipts were not enough to
cover the large expenditure on rehabilitation and
development
Foreign grants (mostly US payments) helped to
fill the gap. Despite the abundance of American
economic expenditures and aid, the demand for
foreign goods far outstripped the country’s
inflows of dollar resources.

Investments and
Export Recovery
Investments and recovery were helped however by
the heavy inflows of assistance from the US.
Infrastructure reconstruction was rapid. Public
buildings destroyed by the war were rebuilt. Major
roads and bridges, ports and school-buildings, public
utilities were restored.
Private housing and business investments were
stimulated by the war damage payments. Damaged
businesses – in agriculture, industry, manufacturing
and commerce – were assisted in part by the quickly
disbursed war damage payments.

Investments and
Export Recovery
The country’s major export industries began to
recover including the processing of coconut
products, sugar mills, some mining and timber firms
and exports of these products began to recover and
resumed the production.
The country continued to receive support from US
development aid
The import and exchange controls encouraged
businessmen to produce products that replaced
imports. The beginnings of industrial import
substitution were promoted by the law promoting
“new and necessary industries.”

The Magna Carta is a law that gives rights to
workers in the Philippines. This law provides
protection to workers and shows recognition of
their contribution to society.
The minimum wage law sets the minimum
amount that employers must pay their workers. It
provides protection to underpaid workers and
contributes to income equality across jobs.

lands in the municipality of Burgos, Zambales, to
improve agricultural productivity in the region, such
as enhancing water supply for farming activities,
particularly for rice cultivation, which was a crucial
crop for the local economy.

aimed to increase agricultural yields, boost farm
incomes, and contribute to rural development in the
area

a companion fertilizer plant to absorb the larger bulk

power plants along Agno River in Benguet province
were the other two.

multilateral agency, the administration of President
Quirino, who succeeded President Roxas in 1948,
pursued the Maria Cristina projects through
domestic financing

World War II
and Japanese
Occupation
During World War II, the Philippines
endured a brutal Japanese
occupation from 1942 to 1945.
Quirino's experiences during this
period, including his involvement in
the Philippine government-in-exile
and his advocacy for Filipino
independence, shaped his political
outlook.
Filipinos staged guerrilla resistance
against the Japanese until 1945. The
Philippines was liberated from
Japanese control by Allied forces in
1944. The Philippines was granted
full independence by the United
States in 1946
Following the end of World War II and the reestablishment of
Philippine independence, the country faced significant social
and economic challenges. The Hukbalahap, a communist-led
guerrilla movement formed during the war against the
Japanese, continued their armed struggle against the
government, citing grievances related to land reform,
corruption, and social inequality. Quirino's presidency saw the
peak of the Hukbalahap insurgency, which posed a severe
threat to national stability.
Hukbalahap
Insurgency
1946 - 1954
the Filipinos offered strong resistance against the Japanese.
After the fall of Bataan to the Japanese (April 1942),
organized guerrilla bands carried on the fight for the remainder
of the occupation period. The Hukbalahap organization proved
highly successful as a guerrilla group and killed many
Japanese troops. The Huks regarded wealthy Filipinos who
collaborated with the Japanese as fair targets for
assassination, and by the end of the war they had seized most
of the large estates in central Luzon. They established a
regional government, collected taxes, and administered their
own laws
Quirino
Administration
(1948-1953)
Elpidio Quirino assumed the presidency in
1948 following the sudden death of President
Manuel Roxas. His administration prioritized
efforts to address the Hukbalahap insurgency,
implementing military campaigns alongside
attempts at agrarian reform and social
welfare programs. Industrial ventures
heightened, irrigation improved, and the road
system developed. He also set up the Central
Bank and Rural banking. Many people were
benefited by his programs and policies.
However, his presidency was also marred by
allegations of corruption and electoral fraud.
Last Political
Journey and
Legacy
After losing the 1953 presidential election to
Ramon Magsaysay, Quirino remained active in
politics, though his influence waned. He
continued to advocate for social and economic
reforms until his death on February 29, 1956.
Quirino's legacy is complex, with assessments
of his presidency varying widely. While he
made efforts to modernize the Philippines and
address social issues, his administration was
also marked by controversies and failures,
particularly in handling the Hukbalahap
insurgency and endemic corruption.
