In this mixed-methods study, we analyzed data from 351 couple therapists who completed our Therapists' Experiences Treating Infidelity (TETI) survey. The present survey is a follow-up of previous iterations that examined therapists' attitudes toward infidelity and affair recovery treatment. Our TETI survey provided additional questions pertaining to therapists' personal history with affairs and perceptions on current research and training standards. Results showed that various therapist and couple factors serve to impede affair recovery treatment. Additionally, this survey revealed several similarities in therapists' attitudes from prior surveys, despite decades having passed between when the present survey and previous versions. In this article, we (a) outline findings from this mixed-methods survey, (b) discuss implications for the field, and (c) offer directions for future research.

The Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA) has developed a certificate of completion program to establish education and training standards for the exciting modality of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback. HRV represents the beat-to-beat changes in the intervals between consecutive heartbeats. A growing list of HRV biofeedback applications has earned ratings from possibly efficacious to probably efficacious. BCIA's expert-designed Blueprint of Knowledge and exam promise to increase the academic rigor of didactic HRV biofeedback courses and enhance the knowledge of providers who incorporate this modality into their practice.

Abstract The article analyzes the development of competency-based professional training standards and their implementation into educational process in foreign countries. It determines that the main idea of competency-based approach is competency-and-active learning, which aims at complex acquirement of diverse skills and ways of practice activities via mastering respective competences. The article states that competency is the product of competence due to which a person successfully realizes themselves in different spheres of their professional engagement, gains social independence and becomes mobile and qualified. The article also dwells on the international experience of professional and training standards development, it analyses specific internal national, as well as external all-European and worldwide conceptions of professional and training standards development, conceptual foundations of competency-based approach in national higher education within the framework of global information society formation. It highlights specific aspects of standards development based on activity-oriented technologies and professional competence assessment. The article states that within the framework of competency-based teaching and training, quality-assuring actions have to ensure the correspondence of standards and learning outcomes. It informs that the labour market is represented by employers, trade unions and the government. The article explores the fact that in Russia, Ukraine and many other countries the employers and the trade unions do not collaborate to formulate their needs with regard to professional training standards, that is why the government and its administration bodies have to do the task of predicting labour market needs on their own.

This paper begins by identifying constraints faced by the silviculture industry when making decisions on human resource development. It identifies market failures that may result in an underinvestment in silviculture training. The paper then provides evidence of underinvestment in training and discusses the role of government in influencing investments in silviculture training, particularly its intervention through regulatory measures such as silviculture worker certification.Part 1 presents theory and evidence concerning certification, which is defined both as an act and a process. It acts on the quality of education and training provided and ultimately on the quality of labor employed. Some functional and dysfunctional aspects of certification are touched upon. The process of certification includes the objectives of certification, intended target groups, certification and training standards, and certification structure. Assessing the human resources employed in the silviculture industry is an important step.The merits and shortcomings of certification are presented in Part 2. Key issues related to forest management are addressed to provide a balanced portrait of silviculture worker certification. The merits range from increasing product quality to reducing on-site injuries. Shortcomings include the transaction costs of certification, a phenomenon called the "generation gap," and jurisdictional control. Issues between the merits and shortcomings of certification are also included.Part 3 discusses alternatives to silviculture worker certification. Taxation, subsidies, and the dissemination of information on the benefits of training are other forms of intervention influencing decision making in the private market.
