AbstractThis study examines a case of receptive multilingual communication in academic counseling sessions with participants of Turkish and Turkmen languages. In particular, the study aims to explore the contribution of linguistic and extralinguistic factors that might facilitate and/or constraint interlocutors' understanding in receptive multilingual communications. To this end, elicited conversations of a Turkish academic advisor and a Turkmen university student were video recorded and analyzed. The analysis shows that linguistic factors such as morpho-syntactic and lexical similarities between these languages do not guarantee but facilitate understanding. As for the extralinguistic factors, the study confirms that the use of institutional keywords in academic counseling sessions activates interlocutors' common institutional knowledge and, thereupon, the interlocutors' understanding is facilitated.

Academic counseling is a collaborative process that addresses the needs, problems, and interests of higher education students. The objective of the study was to investigate perceived problems and academic counseling benefits for students and teachers at Madda Walabu University in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional research design using quantitative methods was applied. The study selected 605 students as participants using a multi-stage sampling method. Results showed that nearly half of the students (49.9%) reported that they could benefit from academic counseling services. According to them, educational counseling improves anxiety management (66.3%), educational goal setting (69.4%) and time management (66.6%). Moreover, academic counseling turned out to be predictive for students’ academic success. However, the strength of the relationship also depended on the students’ socio-demographic factors. This study indicated that more than half of Madda Walabu University students had problems related to managing their time. Additionally, the students believed that academic counseling would benefit students and teachers in enhancing interpersonal relationships, improving study skills, goal setting, and understanding and managing diversity. The Ethiopian Ministry of Education and Madda Walabu University administrators, need to understand the significance of academic counseling for students’ academic performance. They should introduce a necessary intervention strategy that ensures students’ academic success.

Abstract Personality disorders are enduring patterns of inner experience and behavior that deviate markedly from those expected by the individual's culture; these inflexible and pervasive patterns reflect issues with cognition, affectivity, interpersonal functioning and impulse control, and lead to clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fourth Edition, defines two specific personality disorders, in addition to an eleventh condition, Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Cluster A personality disorders include paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal personalities; of these, Paranoid Personality Disorder probably is most common in the legal arena. Cluster B personality disorders include antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality. Such people may suffer from frantic efforts to avoid perceived abandonment, patterns of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships, an identity disturbance, and impulsivity. Legal issues that involve individuals with cluster B personality disorders often involve determination of causation of the person's problems, assessment of claims of harassment, and assessment of the person's fitness for employment. Cluster C personality disorders include avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality. Two case histories illustrate some of the complexities of assessing impairment in workers with personality disorders, including drug abuse, hospitalizations, and inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy.
