Compassion Focused Therapy to Address Shame and Guilt: A Case Study of a Client With Complex PTSD
Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the case of “Ava” a woman in her late 40s diagnosed with ICD‐11 Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), whose life was shaped by chronic childhood abuse, pervasive shame, and intense self‐criticism. Ava struggled with intrusive trauma memories, relational hypervigilance, fears of compassion, and enduring guilt ...

Study on Repaired Earthquake-Damaged Bridge Piers under Seismic Load
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015 The concrete bridge pier damaged during earthquakes need be repaired to meet the design standards. Steel tube as a traditional material or FRP as a novel material has become popular to repair the damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...
