G. Gelo, Omar C. G. Gelo

“…Regarding the latter, these included relational factors (therapeutic alliance and interaction structures), patient factors (willingness to participate, readiness for change, treatment involvement, and positive expectations and hope), therapist factors (interpersonal skills, direct influence skills, credibility, involving parents, playing ability, flexibility, and allegiance), parent and interpersonal environment factors (parental willingness to participate, treatment involvement, treatment expectations, and perceived barriers to treatment participation and therapeutic change; family dynamics; parent-therapist alliance; and social support), mentalizing (of the therapist, client, and parents), and play (symbolization, affect regulation, mental state talk, and patterns of interaction). PPCA appears to work through both specific and common factors, more likely through their synergic interaction. …”

Multi-Scale Spatio-Temporal Evolution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Jobs-Housing Balance in Shenzhen in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic by Duan Lipeng, Gu Zhihui, Zhang Yan, Liu Qian

“…The results were as follows. (1) The spatial distribution patterns of residences and workplaces experienced the following evolutionary process: aggregation before the COVID-19 pandemic, dispersal during the strict control period of the pandemic, and, in the normalization phase, continuous dispersal in the first circle, as well as a rebound in the second and third circles. (2) Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, jobs-housing relationships deteriorated; during the strict control period, employment self-containment remained stable, while cross-unit commuting distance significantly decreased, employment self-containment steadily improved, and cross-unit commuting distance returned to pre-pandemic levels. …”
