We offer commentary examining conclusions that may be drawn from Rubenstein et al.'s (2024) perspective on the need for exposure-based posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments. Here, we employ our shared expertise in implementing and evaluating exposure-based group therapy to reconsider the following impressions garnered from the referenced article: (a) exposure is not necessary for successful PTSD treatment; (b) clients do not want to tal…

Incarcerated women report extremely high rates of lifetime sexual violence victimization. Survivors Healing from Abuse: Recovery through Exposure (SHARE) is an exposure-based group therapy specifically designed for incarcerated women survivors of sexual violence. SHARE has been continuously delivered in a women’s prison for more than 12 years. However, like many prisons during the COVID-19 pandemic, the prison ceased all in-person programming bet…
Is Sharing One's Personal Story of Victimization Preferred? Incarcerated Women's Perspectives on Group Treatment for Sexual Trauma
Treatment preferences are an important part of evidence-based practice and have been shown to affect treatment outcomes. In this two-part study, incarcerated women were asked about their preferences for two versions of a trauma-focused group treatment: one that requires sharing their personal memory of sexual victimization (Sharing Required) and one that does not (Sharing Not Required). Study 1 enrolled 88 non-treatment seeking women who evaluate…

“I’m not alone, my story matters”: Incarcerated women’s perspectives on the impact and acceptability of group psychotherapy involving imaginal exposure to sexual assault memories
Implementing and Sustaining SHARE: An Exposure‐Based Psychotherapy Group for Incarcerated Women Survivors of Sexual Violence
Although incarcerated women are a highly victimized population, therapy for sexual violence victimization (SVV) sequela is not routinely offered in prison. SHARE is a group therapy for SVV survivors that was successfully implemented and sustained in a women’s correction center. Here, we aimed to identify implementation factors and strategies that led to SHARE’s success and describe incarcerated women’s perspectives on the program. We conducted a …
How Does Timing Affect Trauma Treatment for Women Who Are Incarcerated? An Empirical Analysis
Most women who are incarcerated have experienced sexual violence; difficulties adjusting to prison could interfere with women’s ability to benefit from trauma-focused therapy. Here, we explored whether therapeutic benefits of trauma treatment varied as a function of time since incarceration. Women ( N = 128) participated in an 8-week group treatment for sexual violence victimization while incarcerated in a community corrections center for nonviol…
Sexual Victimization and Mental Illness Prevalence Rates Among Incarcerated Women: A Literature Review
Incarcerated women evidence high rates of both interpersonal trauma and mental illness. In particular, the rates of sexual violence victimization are so high that some researchers have suggested that sexual abuse may be a pathway to prison for women, likely through the development of mental illness, including substance abuse. This review article summarizes the literature on sexual victimization ( n = 32 articles; 28 independent studies) and menta…
A question of time and place: Student tutors’ narrative identities in for- and non-profit contexts in Sweden
This paper takes a neo-institutional approach to the increase in supplementary tutoring (ST) in Sweden, understanding it as an ongoing expansion of the institution of formal education. A narrative analysis of tutors’ narrated experiences of for- and non-profit tutoring improves our understanding of how actors animate the cultural clusters of the meaning of formal education in new educational contexts. The narrative identities of stand-by and self…
Replicating outcomes of Survivors Healing from Abuse: Recovery through Exposure (SHARE): A brief exposure-based group treatment for incarcerated survivors of sexual violence

Teacher or friend? – consumer narratives on private supplementary tutoring in Sweden as policy enactment
Private supplementary tutoring (PST) is a worldwide enterprise that comes in a variety of forms and with a growing number of students. Sweden, together with the other Nordic countries, has a relatively short history of large-scale organised supplementary education, which can be explained by its confidence in regular mainstream education. In recent years though, this picture has partly changed, and today families in Sweden are offered different ki…
Barriers to and Methods of Help Seeking for Domestic Violence Victimization: A Comparison of Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women Residing in the United States

Participants ( N = 76, 41% Hispanic) completed self-report questionnaires and a semistructured interview with a language-congruent research assistant. Hispanics reported child care needs and fears of social embarrassment as barriers to leaving, while non-Hispanic Whites reported fewer social supports as…
Challenging the bounds of tellability: The interactional management of a bullying narrative within a girl group theme discussion
The study focuses on how preadolescent girls in instances of adult-children talk within the institutional setting of a girl group discussion forum construct joint stories that challenge a master narrative of school bullying. The unfolding of one such multi-party storytelling event on the topic of victimization is analyzed; primarily highlighting the participants’ interactional management of diverse moral concerns, blame allocations, and issues of…

The stories told by the participants were related to an impending closure of the center following a new health care reform. The aim of this article is to take a closer look at how user involvement was performed by the participants in the storytelling context. We explore the stor…
Sociodemographic and Incident Variables as Predictors of Victim Injury From Intimate Partner Violence: Findings From Police Reports
Predictors of victim injury from intimate partner violence (IPV) were investigated using 1,292 police reports collected in South Carolina in 2009/2010. All cases were opposite sex adults. Results from bivariate statistics showed that IPV cases with ( n = 649) and without visible injuries ( n = 643) differed on victim gender, victim race, type of relationship, and perpetrator's alcohol use. Results from a logistic regression analysis predicting vi…
Making Sense of After‐School Care Dilemmas in Mothers' Stories of After‐School Care in Finland and Sweden
The study focuses on dilemmas in storied experiences of everyday after‐school care arrangements among Swedish and Finnish mothers. Finland and Sweden, which share a history of strong labour market attachment among women, arrange institutional after‐school care in similar ways. The data consist of interviews with three Swedish and six Finnish mothers. A positioning analysis of four stories shows how decisions related to children's after‐school hou…
Emotional aspects of teacher collegiality: A narrative approach
Let’s Party!”
Online communication is often presented in research as offering ways for young people to explore various forms of masculinity and femininity, which, in turn, could extend the notions of gendered identity. This paper explores how a Harry Potter fan fiction website can function as an online setting for gender identity construction among young fans. A positioning analysis of a small story told in an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) shows that although trad…
Witnessing Interparental Violence and Acceptance of Dating Violence as Predictors for Teen Dating Violence Victimization
We examined the association between witnessing interparental violence, attitudes about dating violence, and physical and psychological teen dating violence (TDV) victimization. Participants were 918 teens with dating experience. Witnessing interparental violence and acceptance of dating violence were significant predictors of TDV victimization. Acceptance of dating violence was also a partial mediator between witnessing interparental violence and…

It was Emma’s army who bullied that girl’: A narrative perspective on bullying and identity making in three girls’ friendship groups
In the present article, we explore identity making in narrative interaction in preadolescent girls’ friendship groups. The data draw on focus group discussions with three groups of preadolescent girls who in the presence of a moderator narrate different versions of an incident that was recognized as bullying by the authorities at their school. The constructions of multiple narrative versions of ‘what happened’ display the girls’ ongoing negotiati…
