We enquired into attitudes towards empirically supported treatments (ESTs), with an online questionnaire completed by 190 German and 400 Dutch therapists. Therapists had different attitudes, ranging from very negative to very positive. Two dimensions could describe these attitudes. A negative one: ESTs are thought to have a negative effect on the process of treatment, and a positive one: ESTs are thought have a positive impact on the outcomes of treatment. We found these dimensions to be related to self-reported use of ESTs. Therapists with a cognitive-behavioural orientation, therapists who were less experienced, and Dutch therapists had more positive attitudes than therapists with other orientations, therapists who were more experienced, or German. In a focus group discussion, Dutch therapists gave further insight into their attitudes and provided several suggestions to improve the use of ESTs.

With their rich multimodal and multisensory inputs, museums offer learners with a migrant background an invaluable opportunity to develop their linguistic competence and positive attitudes towards learning a L2. The aim of this article is to describe the impact on a group of migrants of an Italian L2 learning workshop held in an art museum in Venice. Qualitative data was collected through students’ focus group discussion, the museum educator’s diary and the teacher’s observation sheet. The results show that participating in such an experience can have a positive impact on students’ linguistic, affective, and intercultural spheres.
