Reviews the book, Leaving it at the office by John C. Norcross and James D. Guy (2007). This book is filled with compassionate fervor and recognition of the satisfactions of our professional lives. Twelve central elements to therapist self-care form the base for the 12 chapters of the book. Describing themselves as "integrative psychotherapists," Norcross and Guy begin from the perspective of seeing the person of the psychotherapist as a valued human being. They encourage us to refocus on the rewards of our profession, while recognizing its hazards. Body, mind, and soul or spirit are each given their due: attending to activity, awareness and restructuring of our own cognitions (regardless of theoretical perspective), engaging in personal therapy of one kind or another, and cultivating spirituality or mission, creativity and growth. Each chapter sets out information that is described as a field guide rather than an instructional manual, a "curious mix of 'how to,' 'you should,' and 'chill-out.'" Information is culled from many types of sources: the authors' own research and that of a wide variety of others' with respect to self-care; workshops that the authors have offered regarding self-care; and clinical wisdom derived in part from interviews with master clinicians. Chapters are structured into sections focused on self-care both at the office and away from the office. (Yes, sometimes our not-great self-care extends outside of the office setting.) A summary self-care list ends each chapter, one that could serve as a wellness reminder or checklist for any individual. Further, the authors offer specific recommended reading at the end of each chapter, as well as an extensive full reference section at the end of the book.

English-speakers sometimes say that they feel "moved to tears," "emotionally touched," "stirred," or that something "warmed their heart;" other languages use similar passive contact metaphors to refer to an affective state. The authors propose and measure the concept of kama muta to understand experiences often given these and other labels. Do the same experiences evoke the same kama muta emotion across nations and languages? They conducted studies in 19 different countries, 5 continents, 15 languages, with a total of 3,542 participants. They tested the construct while validating a comprehensive scale to measure the appraisals, valence, bodily sensations, motivation, and lexical labels posited to characterize kama muta. The results are congruent with theory and previous findings showing that kama muta is a distinct positive social relational emotion that is evoked by experiencing or observing a sudden intensification of communal sharing. It is commonly accompanied by a warm feeling in the chest, moist eyes or tears, chills or piloerection, feeling choked up or having a lump in the throat, buoyancy, and exhilaration. It motivates affective devotion and moral commitment to communal sharing. Although the authors observed some variations across cultures, these 5 facets of kama muta are highly correlated in every sample, supporting the validity of the construct and the measure.

Prevalence of heavy alcohol use remain high, and daily marijuana use is at an all-time high in young adults. As perceptions of drug effects may guide risky decision making, understanding subjective feelings for alcohol and marijuana use is critical. Existing laboratory-based and diary metrics (0-100 rating of "how drunk/high do you feel?") may be problematic in differentiating levels of subjective effects. Measures incorporating contemporary language may better capture subjective feelings in experimental and ambulatory assessment designs. We developed 2 sliding scales based on crowd-sourced and rank-ordered feelings of subjective alcohol and marijuana effects. Two U.S. young adult (18-25 years) samples were drawn from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). In the first study, 323 (53.6% women, 68.4% White, M age = 23.0 years) alcohol and marijuana users provided words to describe subjective effects from alcohol use and from marijuana use. In a second study, 289 (46.4% female, 66.4% White, M age = 23.0 years) users rank-ordered the most common terms to correspond with subjective levels. The sliding scale for alcohol effects resulted in 4 anchors ranging from 0 to 100: slightly buzzed, tipsy/"happy," drunk, and wasted. The sliding scale for marijuana effects also had 4 anchors: relaxed, calm/chill, high, and stoned/baked. By incorporating broader and more contemporary subjective effects language, our metrics may better capture variability in young adults' perceived subjective effects from alcohol and marijuana use. Future work could build upon these findings by pairing sliding scales with measures of actual intoxication to understand within- and between-person covariation in subjective effects, actual impairment, and consequences.
