Albertus Magnus College Professors Contribute to Book on Pathways to Better Health
Addressing Human Service Issues; Popular Majors, Important Role Models at Values-Based
College
New Haven, Conn., April 24, 2025
– Two
Albertus Magnus College
professors share their knowledge and expertise in a new book entitled
Contemporary Issues in Human Services: Special Topics for Clinical Practice, Public
Health, and Social Justice.
According to the
Routledge website
, the forthcoming book is available for pre-order in August 2025 —just before Albertus
celebrates its 100th Anniversary.
Rebecca Arnold, Ph.D., ATR-BC, ATCS, CLAT, is the director and clinical coordinator
of the Albertus Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling (MAATC) program; and
Neda Moinolmolki, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of Psychology at Albertus. For
Dr. Arnold, her chapter on therapy, grief, and creativity provided an opportunity
to expand upon her doctoral research — specifically related to an ethical therapeutic
practice.
Rebecca Arnold, Ph.D., ATR-BC, ATCS, CLAT,
“Ethical practices are a large part of the MAATC curriculum, including the use of
art making as a reflective practice. The chapter is based on my own creative experiences
after the death of my mother — which also adds a human quality to who therapists are
and how we can’t separate ourselves from the work we do. [This is]Something I strive
for students to embrace — their humanness,” shared Dr. Arnold.
Dr. Moinolmolki applied her more than 10-years of research-based scholarship, including
working with recently resettled refugees. Much of her background is guided by what’s
known as “strength-based approaches” in investigating the ecological predictors of
psychological well-being, health, and financial security among recently resettled
families.
Neda Moinolmolki, Ph.D
“This chapter’s theoretical framework was informed by an empirical study initiated
by a former Albertus Magnus student (now an alumna), centered on language accessibility
of US hospital websites. This idea came to fruition after the student heard some of
my shared class stories of real-world medical traumas refugees had disclosed to me.
Not only did that student complete her project, but she also presented it as a poster
at the Connecticut Psychological Association’s Annual Convention in November 2023,”
Dr. Moinolmolki highlighted.
Both professors are respected women in their fields — something that does not go unnoticed
at Albertus Magnus College, founded in 1925 by the Dominican Sisters of Peace as New
England’s first residential Catholic college for women. Over its first century of
excellence, Albertus has pioneered online learning and is proud that half of its students
are First Generation — the first in their families to earn a college degree. Contributing
to this book only further sets the Albertus Example.
“I think it’s much more than just contributing to our craft that differentiates us
here at Albertus; rather, it is our Falcon faculty community’s unique ability to model
and inspire students to see themselves as agents of change,” said Dr. Moinolmolki.
About Albertus Magnus College
Founded in 1925, Albertus is a coeducational Catholic College in the Dominican tradition.
Albertus' values- and liberal arts-based education is recognized by external rankings
such as US News & World Report, Money, and The New York Times, and has been named
a Top 10 Military Friendly School. For ten consecutive years, at least 95% of Albertus
graduates have attained employment or gone on to graduate studies within six months
of completing their degrees. The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,300
students across its traditional undergraduate, accelerated adult undergraduate, and
graduate program levels. Proud to enroll a student body where nearly half of its undergraduate
students receive Federal Pell Grants and are first-generation college goers, Albertus
is known for its innovative curricular offerings, recently launching new Bachelor's
degree programs in Nursing, including BSN and Connecticut's first LPN-to-BSN; General
Health Sciences; Interdisciplinary Studies; and Public Health.
Among its graduate offerings is the State of Connecticut's only Master of Arts in
Art Therapy and Counseling program, and it is just one of three schools to offer a
Master of Science in Human Services. In 2025-26, Albertus is celebrating its historic
100th Anniversary and completing implementation of the Albertus 2025: Lighting the
Way to a Second Century strategic plan, with a bold vision to "be a destination liberal
arts-based college, distinguished in its interdisciplinary and experiential approach
to education, rooted in Dominican values, that prepares students for lifelong civic
engagement and success." To learn more, please visit
