Abstract

The presented study examined dynamics and perceptions among family members of ideologues lawbreaking animal rights activists. In the course of the study, parents and spouses of activists were interviewed, and its findings highlighted a number of key themes: glorification of the activist, an envy directed toward elements of the activism; personal gain acquired by virtue of the relationship, as well as self-discovery which family members experienced by their exposure to activism. By using Maruna’s “redemption script” (2001), the study presents the manner by which perception of an activist as an idealist, leads his family members to construct a new narrative that qualifies transgressions based on ideology. The redemption script turns out to be bidirectional. Thus, while Maruna presented it as an aid for desisting delinquency, the study indicates that as far as it concerns breaking the law in favor of animals, it can mobilize family members to support all shades of activism.

Abstract

This study examines the ways in which the prison service handles food and analyses the uses and meanings of food in prison subculture. Using semi-structured interviews and content analysis, data were collected and analysed from 20 ex-prisoners who were incarcerated in maximum-security prison facilities for a period of three years or more. Our main findings are that, according to the interviewees’ testimonies, (a) the Israel Prison Service (IPS) makes manipulative and abusive use of food in order to perpetuate its power; and (b) food serves as a means to determine the relationship between prisoners and staff, govern social status or rejection in the prison subculture, or pass the time. We have four main conclusions. First, the IPS nutrition policy differentiates and discriminates among prisoners and clearly violates the basic human rights of prisoners, thus suggesting an abuse of power. Second, the IPS’s use of food as a tool for punishing or rewarding introduces and perpetuates inequalities and encourages the illegal prison trade in food and food products. Third, cooking in prison, especially in light of its illegality, constitutes a symbolic expression of resistance to the institution and a meaningful way of coping with boredom. Lastly, food and its possession in prison serve as very powerful tools for constructing and perpetuating exploitation and unequal power relations among prisoners.

Although the study suffers from two limitations – the validity of the adolescents’ responses and the small sample size – its findings lead us to propose that an improvement in the food products that are accessible to prisoners and permission to cook in their cells are inexpensive and legitimate means of bettering both the prisoners’ quality of life and the social atmosphere in prison.

סגנונות הורות של אבות מהגרים מברית-המועצות לשעבר, מורן סגין חסיד וסופי ד. וולש

תקציר
רקע: תהליך ההגירה עשוי לערער את המבנה ואת הדינמיקה המשפחתיים. התהליך מלווה בקשיי
הסתגלות ובלחצים המשפיעים על היחסים בין כל בני המשפחה ועל המקום של כל אחד בתוך
המשפחה. מקומָם של גברים במשפחות עולות טרם נחקר דיו. המאמר הנוכחי מתמקד בדמות
האב במשפחות שעלו לישראל מברית-המועצות לשעבר, ביחסיו עם בני משפחתו, ובסגנון ההורות
של אבות למתבגרים.
שיטת המחקר: במחקר השתתפו 12 משפחות )הורים וילדיהם( שעלו לישראל מברית-המועצות
לשעבר. הממצאים נאספו באמצעות תצפיות וראיונות מובנים-למחצה עם ההורים ועם הילדים.
המחקר התבסס על תיאוריה המעוגנת בשדה כדי לבחון סגנונות שונים של אבהות במשפחות
שעלו מברית-המועצות לשעבר וליצור טיפולוגיה.
ממצאים עיקריים: ניתוח האינטראקציות והראיונות הוביל ליצירת טיפולוגיה של שלושה סגנונות
הורות של אבות במשפחות עולות מברית-המועצות לשעבר: ) 1( "דמות אב פסיבית" — האב נוכח
במשימות המשפחתיות אך אינו משתתף בהן; ) 2( "דמות אב נוכחת אך דחויה" — האב נוכח
במשימות המשפחתיות ומנסה להשתתף ולהביע דעה, אך בני המשפחה אינם מקבלים אותו ואף
מתעלמים מנוכחותו; ) 3( "דמות אב נוכחת ופעילה" — האב נוכח ומשתתף במשימות.
מסקנות והשלכות: המחקר יצר טיפולוגיה של סגנונות אבהוּת, וכך אפשר לזהות את מקומו של
האב במשפחה לאחר הגירה ואת קשייו. ממצאי המחקר מדגישים את שבריריות המעמד של אבות
לאחר הגירה, ואת החשיבות בעזרה לאבות ליצור לעצמם מקום נוכח ופעיל יותר במשפחה.

Case Report: Pharmacotherapy and EMDR Psychotherapy as an Effective Treatment for OCD Imagery in a Patient with a Psychotic Disorder David Potik, MA, Fidaa Moghrabi, MD, and Shaul Schreiber, MD

Abstract

Abstract Unlike compulsive symptoms, such as washing hands, or obsessive symptoms, such as recurring thoughts of contamination, the issue of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) imagery receives little attention in the literature. This article describes the case of a 28-year-old male who was referred to a psychiatric day care department following complaints of intrusive imagery which he had sustained for more than a decade. The symptoms started after watching a video clip of decapitation on the internet. He also complained of intrusive thoughts with both aggressive and sexual contents. The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised were used to assess his mental distress. During his stay in the day care department, he was diagnosed with a schizoaffective disorder and OCD. The patient was treated successfully with an antipsychotic medication for the psychotic disorder and concomitantly with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for the OCD. This clinical case report supports the body of knowledge on the efficacy of EMDR as an adjuvant treatment to pharmacotherapy for OCD and, specifically, for OCD imagery. In addition, it supports the growing body of evidence of the beneficial effect of EMDR therapy among patients with psychotic disorders.

Self Psychology, Risk Assessment of Individuals with Exhibitionistic Disorder and the Good Lives Model—More Than Meets the Eye David Potik & Gadi Rozenberg

Abstract

This article deals with the relevance of self psychology to the risk assessment and treatment of individuals with exhibitionistic disorder. First, psychoanalytic explanations of this disorder are reviewed alongside explanations of other psychological approaches. Next, based on Heinz Kohut’s formulations, we present a developmental explanation of exhibitionistic disorder and a model which describes its dynamics. We explain how Kohut’s conceptualization of empathy as vicarious introspection can provide a better understanding of the subject’s inner world during both risk assessment and the psychotherapy of exhibitionists. Finally, we discuss the interface between self psychology and the Good Lives Model, a holistic rehabilitative approach to the offender’s lifestyle. This model may meet many of these patient’s unfulfilled mental needs and enable them to acquire the skills essential for interpersonal and social integration.

Drug Abuse and Behavioral Transgressions during Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) are Related to High Psychopathy Levels. David Potik,Yali Abramsohn,Shaul Schreiber,Miriam Adelson &Einat Peles

Abstract

Introduction: Studies which used the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) among methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients focused mostly on methodological issues, without addressing its relationship to patients' misconduct during treatment. This paper tests the hypothesis that high PCL-R scores are related to high rates of drug abuse, and high numbers of behavioral transgressions in MMT during a 7-year period. Material and Methods: 107 MMT patients were recruited from a MMT clinic in Israel, and were administered the PCL-R. The questionnaires results as well as routine drug test findings were recorded between 7/2007 and 11/2007. Seven years later (7/2014), repeated drug test results were analyzed, and the number of behavioral transgressions during the entire period was computed. Results: High levels of psychopathy were related to drug test results indicating any illicit drug use, cocaine use and benzodiazepines misuse at the beginning of study, and limited to benzodiazepines misuse among patients who stayed in treatment at the 7-year follow-up. However, higher scores on different PCL-R facets were significantly associated with different types of drugs. The PCL-R's total score and all but the antisociality facet were positively correlated with a higher number of behavioral transgressions (such as, threats and/or verbal and physical aggression). Conclusions: Administration of the PCL-R during MMT may help identify patients with high illicit drug use levels and a higher chance of committing behavioral transgressions during treatment.

Flint, T., & Elkins, Y. (2020). F-TEP: Fragmented traumatic episode protocol. Practice Innovations.

Abstract

This article presents a protocol for treating recent trauma at the acute stress reaction (ASR) stage when the event is still fresh and overwhelming, and the trauma survivor does not yet have a coherent narrative. This protocol is for treating those who have endured a traumatic episode from a few hours to a few days prior. It may also help patients who suffer from a “fragmented narrative” from earlier events. The protocol incorporates a procedure for building a coherent narrative of the trauma, enabling EMDR processing while utilizing the principals of the Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (Shapiro & Laub, 2008, 2015). We present the theoretical background for the protocol, which integrates the narrative approach, the R-TEP protocol and the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model. A description of the protocol, its differences from the classic EMDR R-TEP, and case studies are presented. Keywords: acute stress reaction, military trauma, EMDR, early intervention, narrative therapy

Abstract
Immigrant youth delinquency may be associated with developmental, familial, social, and
immigration-specific factors; however, scarce studies have examined the perspectives of both
parents and their children as to the reasons for involvement in delinquent behavior. This study
examines the extent to which immigration-related stressors may be associated with delinquent
behavior of immigrant adolescents from the Former Soviet Union in Israel, from the perspectives
of both young people and their parents. In-depth interviews with 10 male delinquent immigrant
mid-late adolescents, aged 16 to 21 years, and their parents (eight mothers and two fathers)
were conducted (N = 20). Phenomenological analysis highlighted the immigration experience
as a hidden matrix within which dynamics associated with delinquency evolved. These dynamics
involved situational factors (age, financial hardships, and social norms related to child-rearing),
social factors (peer pressure and wish to be socially accepted), familial factors (stress experienced
by the family, parental unavailability, and insufficient parental capabilities), and personality factors
(sensation-seeking, desire for self-direction, emotion dysregulation, weak character, and inborn
inclination to problematic behavior). While few participants directly address the immigration
process, it can be considered the backdrop or matrix within which these factors are evolving.
Implications for prevention on personal, familial, and society levels are discussed.
