“…Scholars in the helping professions, many of them Arab Israelis, observe major differences in concepts of the individual and family (Al-Krenawi 1996;Al-Krenawi, and Graham 2000;Dwairy and Van-Sickle 1996;Haj-Yahia 1995). Although Israel's Declaration of Independence envisions a state with equal rights for all its citizens, Arab Israelis are a badly discriminated against group (e.g., Al-Haj and Rosenfeld 1990;Haidar 1994). The schools for Israeli Arab children are more crowded and under-funded than those for Jewish children, and a lower percentage of Israeli Arab youngsters achieve high school matriculation (Adva Center 2000).…”

Issues in Psychotherapy with Clients Affiliated with the Opposing Side in a Violent Political Conflict

The therapeutic dyad of clinician and client affiliated with rival groups in a violent conflict shares many features that complicate psychotherapy with persons of different ethnic, racial, and cultural groups, including lack of knowledge, negative stereotyping, differences in fundamental values and world views, and power differentials. Although a great deal has been written about these matters, very little has been written about the therapeutic dynamic where therapist and client are affiliated with different sides of a violent political conflict. Based on the sparse literature on the subject and on the clinical experiences of the author and her colleagues, this paper discusses three features that characterize this dynamic, which do not appear in the same way in therapy involving dyads of different races, ethnic groups, or cultures. These are the presence of the ''enemy'' in the consulting room, the therapist's feelings of mistrust towards the client as a representative of the opposing group, and the client's feelings of guilt towards the therapist as a representative of the injured group. The impacts of each feature on the therapist, client, and the therapeutic encounter are explored and suggestions are made for dealing with them. The hope is that professionals' awareness of these issues will help improve the quality of psychotherapy with persons on the rival side of a violent political conflict.

“…Moreover, although Israel’s Declaration of Independence envisions a state with equal rights for all its citizens, Arab Israelis are a badly discriminated against group (e.g. Al-Haj and Rosenfeld, 1990; Haidar, 1994). They suffer open discrimination in matters ranging from education (Adva Center, 2000) and healthcare (Epstein, 2008; Epstein and Horev, 2007; Horev, 2008) through wages and employment (e.g.…”

Field supervision in countries ridden by armed conflict

This article considers some of the impacts of armed political conflicts on field supervision where supervisor and student are affiliated with different sides, as exemplified by the Jewish supervisor/Arab student dyad in social work training in Israel. This conflict, it suggests, impedes the development of a trusting supervisory bond, makes it difficult for supervisors to provide candid feedback and evaluation, and impairs the students' development of professional identity. The article ends with detailed recommendations for dealing with the many practical issues that arise in field supervision in the context of armed conflicts.Keywords cultural sensitivity, field supervision, social work, stereotype and prejudice, supervisory relationshipThe need for supervisors to exercise cultural sensitivity in supervising trainees/students of a different ethnic or religious group than their own is by now a commonplace of the helping professions. Supervisors are expected to be familiar with their supervisees' cultures, to accept their cultures, and to take their norms and values into account in their supervisions. A large body of literature exists to help supervisors work effectively with supervisees of a large variety of ethnic and cultural groups. Examples include African

“…Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Palestinian-Arabs as a whole have continually been Israel's most oppressed group, facing wide systematic discrimination in every aspect of social, political and economic life (Haidar, 1994). For example, many highly educated Palestinians men and women are denied access to the most desirable jobs within the general Jewish controlled labour market forcing them to seek jobs within the local ethnic labour market where jobs opportunities are very limited.…”

Ethnicity, Class and the Earning Inequality in Israel, 1983-1995

This paper focuses on the role of ethnicity and class in generating earnings inequality in Israel. Unlike previous studies on inequality of opportunities in Israel, in this paper I compare the earnings of five ethnic groups: European Jews (Ashkenazi), Asian-African Jews (Sephardi), Muslim Palestinians, Christian Palestinians and Druze Palestinians. In addition, both men and women are taken into account. The analysis, which is based on data obtained from the 1983 and 1995 Israeli population censuses, has revealed that in Israel, class variations resulting from the differentiation of employment contracts in the labour market, appear to have played a much more important role over time in producing earnings inequality. However, at the same time, it was found that class in this context is highly related to ethnicity, thereby suggesting that class and ethnicity are interwoven. While it seemed that to some extent, class plays a similar role among men and women, the role of ethnicity among men was much more central than it was among women, in the allocation of people into class positions.
