“…The height difference before and after ALD indicates no Al 2 O 3 coating on pristine graphene sheets. This is because ALD relies on chemisorption or rapid reaction of precursor molecules with surface functional groups 5,10 . Since pristine graphene does not have any dangling bonds or surface groups to react with precursors, no ALD occurs on the graphene plane.…”

Atomic Layer Deposition of Metal Oxides on Pristine and Functionalized Graphene

We investigate atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal oxide on pristine and functionalized graphene. On pristine graphene, ALD coating can only actively grow on edges and defect sites, where dangling bonds or surface groups react with ALD precursors. This affords a simple method to decorate and probe single defect sites in graphene planes. We used perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) to functionalize the graphene surface and selectively introduced densely packed surface groups on graphene. Uniform ultrathin ALD coating on PTCA graphene was achieved over a large area. The functionalization method could be used to integrate ultrathin high-kappa dielectrics in future graphene electronics.

“…Sexual assault and threatening sexual harassment perpetrated in the military (military sexual trauma or MST) have been associated with increased risk of poorer physical and psychological functioning compared with sexual trauma perpetrated outside the military (Himmelfarb, Yaeger, & Mintz, 2006; Kimerling, Gima, Smith, Street, & Frayne, 2007; Schry et al, 2015; Surìs & Lind, 2008; Surìs, Lind, Kashner, & Borman, 2007). Moreover, relative to women, men may be more negatively affected by MST, particularly in the areas of gender identity, sexuality, anger, suicide risk, and poorer perceived health (e.g., Bryan, Bryan, & Clemans, 2015; Leskela, Diepernik, & Kok, 2001; O’Brien, Gaher, Pope, & Smiley, 2008; Shipherd, Pineles, Gradus, & Resick, 2009). In addition to the social/interpersonal betrayal and the life threat of the act itself, sexual trauma directly challenges many aspects of traditional masculine identity, which may explain its particularly detrimental impact in male survivors.…”

Gender role stress mediates depression among veteran men with military sexual trauma.

Psychology of Men & Masculinity

Compared with survivors of other types of trauma, survivors of sexual trauma, particularly military sexual trauma (MST), are at greater risk for posttraumatic distress. Although traditionally masculine aspects of gender identity may mitigate the deleterious effects of trauma (Valdez & Lilly, 2014), it may, in some cases, exacerbate negative outcomes. Sexual victimization may undermine traditional gender expectations of power among male survivors, potentially explaining the added risk associated with this type of trauma. These dynamics may be even more pronounced for veteran men, given their involvement in a military culture that highly values masculinity. Accordingly, we hypothesized that masculine gender role stress (i.e., stress from not upholding masculine gender norms; Eisler & Skidmore, 1987) would be greater among veteran men with MST than those with other interpersonal trauma and would mediate the relationship between MST and posttraumatic distress (i.e., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] and depressive symptoms). We found that while veteran men with MST (n ϭ 52) reported greater PTSD and depressive symptom severity compared to men without MST (n ϭ 52), there was no significant difference in overall gender role stress. Ad hoc analyses exploring specific aspects of gender role stress found that men with MST reported greater gender role stress related to emotionality and intellectual inferiority. Additionally, gender role stress related to emotionality fully mediated the relationship between MST and depression but not PTSD. The vulnerability and intense emotions that accompany MST are discussed in the context of gender role expectations and in terms of clinical implications.

“…The inclusion criterion for most other interventions was sexual assault survivors more broadly. Exceptions include Clifford et al (2018) where participants were survivors of a rape and/or a sexual assault within 12 months of the intervention and had prior experiences of trauma, Leskela et al (2001) that focused on experiences of sexual assault in the military, and Murray et al (2017) where participants were survivors of sexual assault and/or intimate partner violence. Drawing on the perspectives of 97 directors of sexual assault support organizations, Macy et al (2013) suggested it is unclear how important it is to match participants with similar experiences (beyond sexual assault) in group therapy interventions.…”

“…This study showed positive outcomes using psychological assessments at 28 weeks, and it was unclear whether there were benefits for continuing the program for the full year (Roth et al, 1988). Leskela et al (2001) found that from the 10th month of an ongoing intervention, discussions became “notably richer with detail and more integrated with affect” (p. 314). Regardless of the length of the intervention, the identified literature indicates the importance of considering safe termination of groups and ongoing support after the end an intervention (Carey, 1997; Driscoll, 2016; Volker, 1999).…”

“…Smaller groups can be effective, particularly for building cohesion, trust, and rapport (Bicanic et al, 2014;Mulkey, 2004;Murray et al, 2017;Perl et al, 1985;VanDeusen & Carr, 2005). The identified literature suggests groups of 6-10 are useful for conducting group work, sharing and brainstorming ideas, creating a sense of safety, and normalizing experiences (Allon, 2015;Bass et al, 2013;Carey, 1997Carey, , 1999Fernandes & Yvette Aiello, 2018;Leskela et al, 2001;Murray et al, 2017;Roth et al, 1988;Volker, 1999;Yassen & Glass, 1984).…”

Group Therapy for Survivors of Adult Sexual Assault: A Scoping Review

Across the world, women experience significant rates of sexual assault and there is a need to strengthen support services offered to survivors. Group therapy could provide an important addition to services that support healing and growth; however, the effectiveness of group therapy interventions with survivors of adult sexual assault is not well understood and clearer insights into designing and running group therapy interventions require further exploration. This review synthesizes literature exploring group therapy for survivors of adult sexual assault to inform future interventions and research implementing group therapy. A systematic approach was used to gather literature describing and evaluating group therapy interventions with survivors of adult sexual assault. Of the initial 466 articles identified through a comprehensive search strategy including database and hand searches, 32 met the inclusion criteria by describing a group therapy intervention conducted with survivors of adult sexual assault. A thematic approach to analysis was conducted to synthesize and collate the literature. Findings explore potentially useful strategies and characteristics of group therapy with survivors of adult sexual assault and make recommendations for the design and evaluation of future interventions. Group therapy has potential as a valuable support service provided to survivors but further rigorous research and evaluations are required to better capture outcomes and understand how to design and implement effective interventions.
