Gender differences in the information processing body shape stimuli
Creators: name: Baxter, Amy E.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 87-100
description: Objective: The present study examined gender differences in the information processing of body shape stimuli. Method: Male and female undergraduate students (N= 128) were administered a Visual Probe Detection Task (VPDT) containing adjectives related to the three categories of body build (i.e., fat, thin, and muscular). Following the completion of the attention task, participants were administered an Incidental Recall Task (IRT) in which they were asked to recall as many words as possible, distinguishing between words that they had guessed and words that they were certain they had seen in the VPDT. Results: Despite the fact that self-report data indicated men and women differ with regard to body image concerns, gender differences were not found in cognitive processing of body shape words. Discussion: Vitousek and Hollon's (1990) cognitive theory may not be applicable in the context of describing body dissatisfaction among non-clinical populations.

description: Generative models based on normalizing flows are very successful in modeling complex data distributions using simpler ones. However, straightforward linear interpolations show unexpected side effects, as interpolation paths lie outside the area where samples are observed. This is caused by the standard choice of Gaussian base distributions and can be seen in the norms of the interpolated samples as they are outside the data manifold. This observation suggests that changing the way of interpolating should generally result in better interpolations, but it is not clear how to do that in an unambiguous way. In this paper, we solve this issue by enforcing a specific manifold and, hence, change the base distribution, to allow for a principled way of interpolation. Specifically, we use the Dirichlet and von Mises-Fisher base distributions on the probability simplex and the hypersphere, respectively. Our experimental results show superior performance in terms of bits per dimension, Fréchet Inception Distance (FID), and Kernel Inception Distance (KID) scores for interpolation, while maintaining the generative performance.

description: The growth and atomic/electronic structure of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown ErAs nanoparticles and nanorods embedded within a GaAs matrix are examined for the first time via cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (XSTM) and spectroscopy (XSTS). Cross sections enable the interrogation of the internal structure and are well suited for studying embedded nanostructures. The early stages of embedded ErAs nanostructure growth are examined via these techniques and compared with previous cross sectional TEM work. Tunneling spectroscopy I(V) for both ErAs nanoparticles and nanorods was also performed, demonstrating that both nanostructures are semimetallic.

description: Scholars and practitioners have argued that humor is a valuable workplace behavior and an important tool for managers. Humor can be defined as a form of communication in which a "humorist" intentionally incorporates humorous incongruities  in messages to an audience. The most common form of workplace humor is interpersonal humor, or humor that is directed or targeted toward someone else .Interpersonal humor styles are distinguished as affiliative or aggressive. Affiliative humor is defined as positive interpersonal humor "used to enhance one's relationships with others in a way that is relatively benign and self-accepting," while aggressive humor is negative and "used to enhance the self ... at the expense and detriment to one's relationship with others" Affiliative humor is associated with performance, job satisfaction and cohesiveness, while aggressive humor tends to have negative effects on outcomes Recently, researchers began examining whether contextual factors influence the impact of workplace humor. For example, researchers have explored how characteristics of the humorist, such as gender, influence humor use and audience responses to humor. For instance, Evans et found that when men use Humor use and social acceptance .

description: We present a Monte Carlo code dedicated to the simulation of bremsstrahlung arising in collisions of polarized electrons with thin target foils. The program consists of an electron transport algorithm taking into account elastic electron-nucleus scattering and inelastic collisions with target electrons as well as a treatment of polarized-electron bremsstrahlung emission. Good agreement is found between the predictions of the electron transport code and data stemming from other simulation programs and experiments. In addition, we present first results from the bremsstrahlung simulation which indicate a significant decrease in the degree of linear polarization of bremsstrahlung even for the thinnest gold targets considered.

description: We investigate the roles of different environmental models on quantum correlation dynamics of two-qubit composite system interacting with two independent environments. The most common environmental models (the single-Lorentzian model, the squared-Lorentzian model, the two-Lorentzian model and band-gap model) are analyzed. First, we note that for the weak coupling regime, the monotonous decay speed of the quantum correlation is mainly determined by the spectral density functions of these different environments. Then, by considering the strong coupling regime we find that, contrary to what is stated in the weak coupling regime, the dynamics of quantum correlation depends on the non-Markovianity of the environmental models, and is independent of the environmental spectrum density functions.

description: It is a classical fact that the exponential function is solution of the integral equation $ \int_0^X f(x)dx + f(0) =f(X)$. If we slightly modify this equation to $ \int_0^X f(x)dx+f(0)=f(αX)$ with $α\in ]0,1[$, it seems that no classical techniques apply to yields solutions. In this article, we consider the parameter $α=1/2$. We will show the existence of a solution wich takes the values of the Thue-Morse sequence on the odd integers.

Lattice QCD with open boundary conditions and twisted-mass reweighting

description: Lattice QCD simulations at small lattice spacings and quark masses close to their physical values are technically challenging. In particular, the simulations can get trapped in the topological charge sectors of field space or may run into instabilities triggered by accidental near-zero modes of the lattice Dirac operator. As already noted in ref. [1], the first problem is bypassed if open boundary conditions are imposed in the time direction, while the second can potentially be overcome through twisted-mass determinant reweighting [2]. In this paper, we show that twisted-mass reweighting works out as expected in QCD with open boundary conditions and 2+1 flavours of O(a) improved Wilson quarks. Further algorithmic improvements are tested as well and a few physical quantities are computed for illustration.

description: Despite the implied enthusiasm for increasing global interaction and economic exchange, a lack of understanding of cultural differences has been found to hinder the ability of firms to conduct business or negotiations efficiently with different countries. By means of a thorough examination of the different styles of negotiation between Taiwan and the US, the research herein identifies the effects of culture on negotiations. The approach uses Casse and Deols’ model, which considers styles of negotiation and degrees of individualism to be the dependent and independent variables. Data was collected from sales and purchasing managers of public companies listed on the stock exchanges of Taipei and New York by means of an online survey. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized models and the overall hypotheses of the research. A two-step approach was employed in the research that consisted of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The findings showed that an individualist attitude directly affects the style of negotiation, that nationality is a moderated variant of individualist attitude and style of negotiation, and that different styles of negotiation are preferred by Taiwanese and American negotiators. These findings could be useful in the application of a specific set of values and attitudes that directly relate to regional cultural attributes. The study may also assist prospective cross-cultural negotiators to develop better negotiation skills by providing insights into the nuances of international negotiations between businesses.
On the missing 2175 Angstroem-bump in the Calzetti extinction curve

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The aim of the paper is to give a physical explanation of the absence of the feature in the Calzetti extinction curve. We analyze the dust attenuation of a homogeneous source seen through a distant inhomogeneous distant screen. The inhomogeneities are described through an idealized isothermal turbulent medium where the probability distribution function (PDF) of the column density is log-normal. In addition it is assumed that below a certain critical column density the carriers of the extinction bump at 2175 Angstroem are being destroyed by the ambient UV radiation field. Turbulence is found to be a natural explanation not only of the flatter curvature of the Calzetti extinction curve but also of the missing bump provided the critical column density is N_H >= 10^21 cm^-2. The density contrast needed to explain both characteristics is well consistent with the Mach number of the cold neutral medium of our own Galaxy which suggests a density contrast sigma_(rho/) 6.

Surface morphology of growing epitaxial layers: simulations using kinetic Monte Carlo method
Creators: name: Saxena, Ankur
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 100-107
description: This thesis attempts to study the process of surface roughening during the deposition of a semiconductor material on another, a process commonly known as epitaxy, using kinetic Monte Carlo modeling. The surface profile and its morphology change during epitaxial deposition, and information about the atomistic processes involved is important for fabrication of semiconductor nano-devices with desired characteristic features. A multi-particle kinetic Monte Carlo model is used to simulate deposition of Si on Si(00l) (homoepitaxy) in (1+1)-dimensions and Ge on Si(00l) (heteroepitaxy) in (2+ 1 )-dimensions. The simulation model is based on a discrete description of atoms so that the unit length scale coincides with the atomic diameter. The first set of results corresponds to (1 + 1 )-dimensional simulations of Si layers deposited on initially flat Si(00l) and initially structured Si(00l) substrate. The driving force for the motion of diffusing atoms ( or adatoms) is the tendency of an adatom to maximize the number of bonds it makes with its neighbors. Various roughness parameters were evaluated and analyzed to give insight into the process. Results obtained from one-dimensional simulations show the evolution of surface roughening as Si is deposited on Si(00l) substrate. We also performed annealing simulations of flat and stepped Si(00l) deposited at different temperatures by turning off the deposition rate in our kinetic Monte Carlo model. Results are presented for annealing simulations at different temperatures showing that surface roughness can be decreased and smoother surfaces can be obtained by annealing at high temperatures. Annealing simulations at low temperatures do not show observable smoothing, thereby indicating that adatoms are m a stable configuration at low temperatures, and that the probability for their movement is very small. The last set of results belongs to (2+ 1 )-dimensional simulations to study the heteroepitaxial growth of thin films . The aim of these simulations is to study the atomistic processes leading to the formation of heterostructures on semiconductor surfaces during heteroepitaxial growth. Apart from taking into consideration the number of bonds an adatom makes with its neighbors, adatom-adatom interaction is also considered in this model, which is also a departure from ( 1 + 1 )-dimensional simulations. The interaction between the adatoms is modeled using the famous Lau and Kohn expression for the interaction of surface atoms. Formation of heterostructures is not observed and it can be argued that the amount of material deposited is not sufficient enough to observe any such clustering. The results obtained do not give much insight into the processes occurring at the surface due to limitations imposed by large computational time. The usefulness of the simulations in (2+ 1)-dimensions lie in the fact that they represent successful implementation of extension of our one-dimensional code.

description: The thermal properties of graphene-based materials are theoretically investigated. The fourth-nearest neighbor force constant method for phonon properties is used in conjunction with both the Landauer ballistic and the non-equilibrium Green's function techniques for transport. Ballistic phonon transport is investigated for different structures including graphene, graphene antidot lattices, and graphene nanoribbons. We demonstrate that this particular methodology is suitable for robust and efficient investigation of phonon transport in graphene-based devices. This methodology is especially useful for investigations of thermoelectric and heat transport applications.

La irrevocabilidad del “destino” en The Wire: el caso del adolescente “Dukie”

Subjects: Television series; The Wire; discourse analysis; capitalism; indigence; marginality

description: The Wire (David Simon, HBO: 2002-2008) is usually considered one of the greatest television shows ever made, not only because of its quality and original narrative structure, but also thanks to its ability to display the current situation of the subject in a society dominated by the discourse of the untethered capitalism. We wonder about what The Wire tells its audience about human beings as individual in our context, but we are interested in how the series does it and what resources it employs too. In this paper we will focus on the specific case of Duquan Weems (Jermaine Crawford), known as “Dukie”, as a perfect example of how indigence and marginalisation are actually useful to the system, so such system does not really search for the solution but the cyclical perpetuation of these groups of population as inevitable collateral damage of the capitalist mode of production. We will analyse the character evolution from his appearance in the fourth season of the series to its final episodes, while also trying to draw paralellisms with other characters. The methodology will be a discoursive and textual analysis of the scenes in which the character is present, how he is shown on the screen and how he relates to all the other elements in the image. This way, we pretend to show how the mise-en-scene of The Wire emphasizes the main message of the series: to reveal the real functionning of the discoursive logic of capitalism.

Adapting Landscape and Place in Transcultural Remakes: The Case of Bron|Broen, The Bridge and The Tunnel

Subjects: serial television; format adaptation; transcultural remakes; setting; Nordic noir

description: Although place tends to be overlooked as a narrative component in audiovisual fiction, it is undeniable that landscapes, settings and locations play a defining role in television series. Not only are these forms of place central to reinforcing the genre, themes and plots of the story; they also serve to reflect the characters’ emotions and cultural identities. Therefore, when a scripted format is remade in a foreign country, the narrative dimension of place is one of the elements that need to be relocalised to a new sociocultural environment. This paper aims to examine how the significance of place is adapted in the specific case of transcultural televisual remakes. In order to do so, the study will present a comparative analysis of the Swedish-Danish co-production Bron|Broen (2011-) and its two remakes: the American The Bridge (2013-2014) and the Anglo-French The Tunnel (2013-). More specifically, the representations of place in these three series will be studied in relation to other narrative components, such as genre conventions and aesthetics, characters, and dramatic conflict. Ultimately, this paper will prove that, when you take a story built for a specific setting and relocate it elsewhere, that new context informs the architecture of the story itself.

description: The refractive index fluctuations in the connective tissue layer (stroma) of human cervical tissues having different grades of precancers (dysplasia) was quantified using a wavelet-based multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis model. The results show clear signature of multi-scale self-similarity in the index fluctuations of the tissues. Importantly, the refractive index fluctuations were found to be more anti-correlated at higher grades of precancers. Moreover, the strength of multifractality was also observed to be considerably weaker in higher grades of precancers. These results were further complemented by Fourier domain analysis of the spectral fluctuations.

Inspired by Liu and Zhu's construction of $p$-adic Simpson and Riemann-Hilbert correspondences over rigid analytic varieties, we construct such correspondences for representations of $G_K$. As an application, we prove a Hodge-Tate (resp. de Rham) "rigidity" theorem for $p$-adic representations of $G_K$, generalizing a result of Morita.

Discussing Transnational Format Adaptation in Turkey: A Study on Kuzey Güney
Creators: name: Kesirli Unur, Ayşegül

Subjects: Television in Turkey; Turkish soap operas; TV format adaptation; Kuzey Güney; Rich Man, Poor Man

description: When celebrated Turkish TV series, Kuzey Güney (Ay Yapım, 2011 – 2013) started to be broadcast on a mainstream Turkish television channel Kanal D, a rumour appeared that it was adapted from the American television miniseries, Rich Man, Poor Man, aired in 1976 on the ABC television channel. Although there was no official information that Kuzey Güney was adapted from Rich Man, Poor Man the similarities were hard to miss. This article questions how the process of transnational format adaptation works in Turkish television by analysing Kuzey Güney as a case study. After briefly explaining the Turkish television industry’s encounter with the TV series format throughout its history, the article questions how foreign TV series were used as inspirational materials, ready to be adapted and produced domestically as a common practice. The article analyses Kuzey Güney by particularly focusing on the stylistic, intertextual and cultural dynamics that are activated in its creation.

On the Hausdorff dimension of graphs of prevalent continuous functions on compact sets
Creators: name: Bayart, Frédéric
name: Heurteaux, Yanick
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $K$ be a compact set in $\rd$ with positive Hausdorff dimension. Using a Fractional Brownian Motion, we prove that in a prevalent set of continuous functions on $K$, the Hausdorff dimension of the graph is equal to $\dim_{\mathcal H}(K)+1$. This is the largest possible value. This result generalizes a previous work due to J.M. Fraser and J.T. Hyde which was exposed in the conference {\it Fractal and Related Fields~2}. The case of $α$-Hölderian functions is also discussed.

description: Our work is motivated by the challenges presented in preparing arrays of atoms for use in quantum simulation. The recently-developed process of loading atoms into traps results in approximately half of the traps being filled. To consolidate the atoms so that they form a dense and regular arrangement, such as all locations in a grid, atoms are rearranged using moving optical tweezers. Time is of the essence, as the longer that the process takes and the more that atoms are moved, the higher the chance that atoms will be lost in the process.
 Viewed as a problem on graphs, we wish to solve the problem of reconfiguring one arrangement of tokens (representing atoms) to another using as few moves as possible. Because the problem is NP-complete on general graphs as well as on grids, we focus on the parameterized complexity for various parameters, considering both undirected and directed graphs, and tokens with and without labels. For unlabelled tokens, the problem is in FPT when parameterizing by the number of tokens, the number of moves, or the number of moves plus the number of vertices without tokens in either the source or target configuration, but intractable when parameterizing by the difference between the number of moves and the number of differences in the placement of tokens in the source and target configurations. When labels are added to tokens, however, most of the tractability results are replaced by hardness results.

description: The integration of sequence stratigraphic, biostratigraphic, and organic geochemical techniques at both subsurface and outcrop locations provide new insights into the Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian petroleum system. This system is represented by the upper Palliser, Exshaw, and lower Banff formations, and includes both reservoir and hydrocarbon source-rock units. Many oil families in southern Alberta have been linked to their source; an exception is oil Family M. Biomarker data for these oils indicate a source of Mississippian age capable of producing relatively large quantities of oil. One probable source for these oils is the lower Banff Formation, predominantly a Type II kerogen with total organic carbon (TOC) values from immature samples that commonly exceed 10 wt. % . At outcrop, the lower Banff Formation comprises overmature shales that vary in thickness from three to four metres in the eastern Front Range exposures (e.g. Inverted Ridge), to greater than 20 metres in westernmost exposures (e.g. near Fortress Mountain), and possesses TOC values up to 18.2 wt. %. In the subsmface , the shale members of the Exshaw and Banff formations vary dramatically in thickness from being not present to thicker than 7 metres. These changes in thickness may explain the existence of two distinct mid-late Paleozoic oil families. Sequence stratigraphic techniques and conodont biostrati graphic data were combined to aid in the correlation of surfaces within this Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous interval. These data indicate that locally, the Exshaw Formation is missing; the absence of these strata is attributed to the development of a stratigraphic high after the deposition of the Big Valley Formation and prior to the deposition of the lower Exshaw Formation. In this area, oils generated from the lower Banff Formation could have migrated without mixing with Exshaw Formation sourced oils providing a possible explanation for the existence of Family Moils in Cretaceous reservoirs.
Optimization of relativistic mean field model for finite nuclei to neutron star matter

description: We have optimized the parameters of extended relativistic mean-field model using a selected set of global observables which includes binding energies and charge radii for nuclei along several isotopic and isotonic chains and the iso-scalar giant monopole resonance energies for the $^{90}$Zr and $^{208}$Pb nuclei. The model parameters are further constrained by the available informations on the energy per neutron for the dilute neutron matter and bounds on the equations of state of the symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter at supra-nuclear densities. Two new parameter sets BSP and IUFSU* are obtained, later one being the variant of recently proposed IUFSU parameter set. The BSP parametrization uses the contributions from the quartic order cross-coupling between $ω$ and $σ$ mesons to model the high density behaviour of the equation of state instead of the $ω$ meson self-coupling as in the case of IUFSU* or IUFSU. Our parameter sets yield appreciable improvements in the binding energy systematics and the equation of state for the dilute neutron matter. The importance of the quartic order $ω-σ$ cross coupling term of the extended RMF model, as often ignored, is realized.

Subjects: Breaking Bad; home; space; modern capitalism; antihero; characters

description: Breaking Bad (2008-2013) produced, thanks to the creativity of Vince Gilligan and his writing room, some of the most emblematic characters in the history of contemporary television. Also, the writers of Breaking Bad were able to devise places and spaces that play important symbolic functions: spaces of mediation, spaces of transit, sacred spaces. This article investigates the meanings and characteristics of some of these settings: the swimming pool, the White family home, the meth lab. The analysis considers also the relation between characters and spaces, paying particular attention to the places inhabited by the main character, Walter White.

The courts and same-sex marriage: a test of dialogue theory
Creators: name: Schmidt, Ryan K.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2005

description: Bibliography: p. 107-116
description: Dialogue theory emerged prominently, and not without controversy, in Canadian academic literature in the 1990s with a view to explaining the paradoxical relationship between Charter-based judicial review and liberal democratic theory. This thesis uses the ongoing litigation over same-sex relationships as a vehicle to assess the debate about dialogue theory. The thesis focuses on the part of the debate concerning the fate of policy compromises. Are reasonable compromises -- in this case, registered domestic partnerships or civil unions -- aided or undermined by Charter-based judicial intervention in the policy process?
How Everything You Know, See, and Are Affected By Comes to Be What It Is

description: Before form, there was feeling. Before physics, there was frequency. Before knowledge, there was knowing.

This isn’t about mysticism. It’s about remembering that reality is not just constructed from particles and probabilities—but from pattern, resonance, and relationship. What follows is not a theory. It’s a map. A way to trace how the invisible becomes the real, how intelligence enters matter, and how your attention shapes what emerges next.

You’ve felt it. You’ve lived inside it.

Synchronic Seriality: The Dissolving of Diegetic Borders Through Metalepsis
Creators: name: Piper, Paige M.
Publisher: name: Dipartimento delle Arti - Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2015
Subjects: metalepsis; television seriality; indexicality; l’image virtuel; narrative complexity

description: In dialogue with Gérard Genette’s literary concept of metalepsis to television, this paper considers instances of meta-textual actor/character portrayals in serial narratives to show that meta-narrative intrusion fosters a greater empathetic link between the spectator and character, whilst simultaneously inviting the viewer to appreciate the technique as an artifice-aware gesture. The fluidity of diegetic borders brought on by the conflation of performer/performance replicates Baudrillard’s simulacra, creating a synchronic form of seriality and transcending rigid genre classifications.

Broadband ESO/VISIR-Spitzer infrared spectroscopy of the obscured supergiant X-ray Binary IGR J16318-4848

description: A new class of X-ray binaries has been recently discovered by the high energy observatory, INTEGRAL. It is composed of intrinsically obscured supergiant high mass X-ray binaries, unveiled by means of multi-wavelength X-ray, optical, near- and mid-infrared observations, in particular photometric and spectroscopic observations using ESO facilities. However the fundamental questions about these intriguing sources, namely their formation, evolution, and the nature of their environment, are still unsolved. Among them, IGR J16318-4848 - a compact object orbiting around a supergiant B[e] star - seems to be one of the most extraordinary celestial sources of our Galaxy. We present here new ESO/VLT VISIR mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic observations of this source. First, line diagnostics allow us to confirm the presence of absorbing material (dust and cold gas) enshrouding the whole binary system, and to characterise the nature of this material. Second, by fitting broadband near to mid-infrared Spectral Energy Distribution - including ESO NTT/SofI, VLT/VISIR and Spitzer data - with a phenomenological model for sgB[e] stars, we show that the star is surrounded by an irradiated rim heated to a temperature of 3800-5500 K, along with a viscous disk component at an inner temperature of 750 K. VISIR data allow us to exclude the spherical geometry for the dust component. This detailed study will allow us in the future to get better constraints on the formation and evolution of such rare and short-living high mass X-ray binary systems in our Galaxy.

Effectiveness of group versus individual psychotherapy for depression in a community counselling setting using the "Mind over mood" cognitive therapy manual

description: Although an extensive body of research supports the efficacy of cognitive­behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression, the preponderance of previous research has focused on individual (as opposed to group) treatment, and been conducted in controlled research settings such as universities and university hospitals. Controlled research, however, often excludes clients that most resemble those who typically receive treatment in community settings (e.g., clients with comorbid anxiety, personality, and other disorders). The present study sought to extend previous empirical research by demonstrating the effectiveness of CBT as it is typically delivered in a community setting, both in group and individual treatment formats. Thirty-four participants (10 men, 24 women) who met the DSM-IV criteria for Major Depressive Disorder completed either group (N = 21) or individual (N = 13) CBT that was delivered by the same researcher using the same treatment manual and client handbook. The majority of both group and individually treated participants made statistically significant and clinically meaningful positive change on the six outcome measures (Beck Depression Inventory, Second Edition; Mind Over Mood Depression Inventory; Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression; Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale; Attributional Style Questionnaire; Outcome Questionnaire - 45 Item). There were no statistically significant differences between the outcomes of group or individual treatment on any of the outcome measures, but individual treatment was slightly more effective (not statistically significant) for participants with more severe depressive symptoms. Group treatment appeared to be more effective (not statistically significant) for women than men, but because of the small number and unequal distribution of male participants, any putative gender differences should be regarded as tentative. Group treatment was more cost-effective than individual treatment, both for the participants involved and for the agency providing treatment. The cost-effectiveness of group CBT appears to make it an attractive adjunct (if not alternative) to individual treatment, in some cases. Group CBT is likely most helpful for those clients who are amenable to the notion of participating in a group and who meet at least minimal inclusion criteria (no current suicidal potential, limited co-morbid diagnoses, no current substance use problems, adequate cognitive abilities to understand the client guidebook and to apply the cognitive model). The apparent cost benefits of group treatment, which make it attractive for fiscal reasons, do not surpass the need and duty to provide treatment in a format that is acceptable to all clients. Advantages and limitations of both individual and group treatment are discussed. Recommendations for future research are made.
