Attachment and Treatment Response for PTSD Patients
Attachment is an important factor to address with trauma patients. Using an inpatient, group therapy setting can enhance the impact of treatment, increase secure attachments with others, and reduce trauma symptoms.York’s Knowledge Mobilization Unit provides services and funding for faculty, graduate students, and community organizations seeking to maximize the impact of academic research and expertise on public policy, social programming, and professional practice. It is supported by SSHRC and CIHR grants, and by the Office of the Vice-President Research & Innovation.

Clinical pharmacology becomes a specialty in South Africa
South Africa recently became the first African country where clinical pharmacology has been approved as a specialty. This article outlines the need for clinical pharmacologists, their role in advancing public health, the potential benefits to the country, and recommendations for ensuring a healthy future for the discipline
The chiral phase transition in charge ordered 1T-TiSe2
It was recently discovered that the low temperature, charge ordered phase of
1T-TiSe2 has a chiral character. This unexpected chirality in a system
described by a scalar order parameter could be explained in a model where the
emergence of relative phase shifts between three charge density wave components
breaks the inversion symmetry of the lattice. Here, we present experimental
evidence for the sequence of phase transitions predicted by that theory, going
from disorder to non-chiral and finally to chiral charge order. Employing X-ray
diffraction, specific heat, and electrical transport measurements, we find that
a novel phase transition occurs ~7 K below the main charge ordering transition
in TiSe2, in agreement with the predicted hierarchy of charge ordered phases.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; includes additional experimental and theoretical
